    How do you measure launch day success? For an open source tool, would you prioritize GitHub stars or emails, and why?

    @eric_landau hi Eric, great topic! > would you prioritize GitHub stars or emails? I'd say it depends. awareness or acquisition, what's your main objective when launching? for the record, when Documenso (open-source DocuSign alternative) launched, the team focused on acquiring its first early adopters (e.g. revenue). as a side effect, the number of GitHub Stars skyrocketed (+300%). what's your take on this @timur_ercan1 @jonathan_reimer1?
