Show IH: We Built a Search Engine to Uncover Any Audience's Sources of Influence

Howdy fellow IndieHackers,

I've been working my cofounder, Casey, for ~2 years on SparkToro, and today it's finally here. The basic concept is simple: help people (founders in particular) find the sources of influence that truly reach and engage their audiences. Want to know what podcasts are popular with people who care about woodworking? Or which websites chemical engineers visit? Or what YouTube channels are big with players of Stardew Valley? SparkToro can tell you that.

It's obviously not perfect (in particular outside of English, where we don't have much coverage), but it's a pretty useful tool if you need to know where to reach potential customers.

Happy to answer any questions about our beta and launch process and/or the tool itself.

Congratulations on launching! It's super cool and very insightful. Probably a bit pricey for me to sign up, but I'm not really your target audience and I will definitely make use of the free tier.

This is great, thanks! Giving it a whirl and can see it's use already, congrats!

Good to see SparkToro finally coming out. Will provide feedback once I get my hands on it :)

This looks awesome, how do you source your data?

The tool looks great and I'll definitely give it a try. I do think it will help a lot for people who want to build their audiences and community.
