I built a Chrome extension that monitors any affiliate page (without API access) and notifies you when a new $ or lead comes in.
Just shipped a new version, here’s what changed:
Finally ditched my horrible Paint 3D icon → replaced with a proper ChatGPT-generated one
Added notifications for custom affiliate programs (this was a big one)
Some small but motivating traction:
161 installs / 8 uninstalls in ~3 months
1 real user who uses it consistently (and I’ve done zero marketing so far)
Funny part:
I tried posting/commenting in affiliate marketing subreddits, but my comments keep getting removed (even though the product is freemium 😅)
Would love advice from the Indie Hackers community:
👉 what’s the most lazy-efficient way to promote something like this?
Happy to answer any questions or share more details!
