PMF (Product-Market Fit)

The point at which users pull the product from you instead of you pushing it to them.

PMF is the moment your growth stops being effort-driven and starts being demand-driven. Symptoms: retention curves flattening, organic word-of-mouth, users describing the product to peers without prompting, support requests shifting from "how do I do X?" to "when will you build Y?" The classic Sean Ellis test: if 40%+ of users say they'd be "very disappointed" without your product, you have PMF. Most indie founders think they have PMF before they do — real PMF is unmistakable in retrospect but ambiguous while you're in it.
