Hey guys ๐๐ป
I manage quite a few sites for my clients and I was looking for a simple, no hassle, easy-to-use tool to track URL mentions.
So I made one ๐ฅณ
Damn if that feels good!
1500+ upvotes and 150+ comments, including from Ryan Hoover.
Ok, he talks about TweetDeck in his comment but hey, he still stopped by!
We were up against some though competitors like EllisX and Jamform. If you guys are reading, congrats on your launch!
Here's the post:
Time for a toast with a good class of Cava, then back to work.
We'll keep the Champagne for TechCrunch ๐ฅ
We have been thinking carefully before taking the decision to launch on Product Hunt.
We really wanted the platform to be perfect before we go public.
But then we realized that this would be against our credo. And probably against any lean startup methodologies that we have learnt.
So, we sat down and re-defined the concept of perfection.
Instead of trying to "create" perfection based on our assumptions, gut feeling and research, we would rather have our users guide us towards it.
Here we are then, live and healthy: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mentioned-2
Fingers crossed users like us :)

No, we didn't list on the Nasdaq - LOL!
But I'm finally spreading the word!

There is plenty of analytics and backlink monitoring tools out there. But some are too complex if you have simple needs, some others a bit costly.
This is why I made Mentioned.app "idiot-proof".
Also, I will try to keep the tool free for as long as I can, at least its basic plan. I love supporting Indie Hackers, if I can.
How is Mentioned.app different from Google Alerts? Well, we track "URL" mentions rather than keywords. Also, we send you an alert in real "real-time" and give you access to a dashboard to monitor traffic for each single inbound link.
How is Mentioned.app different from Google Analytics? Well, the two tools can't compare. Google Analytics is literally a "monster". As such, it needs to be learnt and mastered.
Mentioned.app is super easy instead, and it does one thing only: it sends you an alert when your URL is posted somewhere and it's driving traffic.
Disclaimer: the tool works great (although, I'd rather you telling me). However, for technical reasons (not depending from us), it can't track traffic from Social Media or from a source that masks your url.
So, don't see this as a "Social Media Monitoring Tool - it's not.
Well, enough I guess - give it a shot if you see use for it and let me know if you like it (or hate it) and what you believe I should change / add!
Peace ๐๐ป
The beta is finally done ๐ฅณ
The product works well, it is stable and does what it promises.
Sure, there's much room for improvement, but feel that we are at a stage where we can tell the world about it.
I'm satisfied because it is a product that I'm using myself, and I love how easy and straightforward it is.
Hopefully users will feel the same :)
