Show HN: Featuretracker.com – A simple way to track features

14 points by cjstewart88 7 years ago

Hey, HN! Cody and Jake here, the founders of FeatureTracker (https://www.featuretracker.com). We have one simple goal, to allow creators to make data-backed decisions when building interfaces. Maybe you have a really fancy date picker and are looking for ways to scale it back. With FeatureTracker you can track the granular usage of each component of that date picker, then decide what to keep and what to cut based on actual numbers.

We track specific clicks and provide a few simple data points to make you feel a little more comfortable making decisions and less like you’re driving into the dense fog that can be product development.

We built this to help us answer questions and hope it can help a few others too. We're aiming to keep things simple as possible. We'd love to hear from you, so let us know if you have any questions or have feedback.

Thanks, Cody and Jake

You Getting Started/Start Tracking Features links don't work if I try to open them in a new tab. At first I thought they were just broken links and almost left before discovering that they work if you happen to guess how to use them.

    Just pushed a fix for that. Good catch, thanks for letting us know about it.

hmm... the main button on the homepage takes me to the error page https://www.featuretracker.com/a

    I'm experiencing the same problem. The link at the top of the page works, but not the main button below.

      That should be fixed now, dropped the ball on that one, thanks for letting us know.
