Launch a Website Within 2 Days For 1M Users With 0 Costs

The original idea started with a simple question: “Why don’t we build a website that gathers ALL information about the coronavirus in Hong Kong?” Within 24 hours we reached almost 1M users (983k to be exact) The first version website itself was designed to be simple: Show Accident and Emergency wait times in HK (Thanks to the Hospital Authority) Showed a list of dubious pharmacies exploiting people with marked-up prices. Display confirmed cases and figures for Coronavirus. Use Gatsby as the javascript framework for generating the static website, and Kintohub for our deployment workflow.
