Hero Widget - Beautiful embeddable widget for displaying MRR and user count metrics in real-time. Easy to integrate with a simple code snippet.
Top comment
I’m excited to launch HeroWidget today. HeroWidget lets you add a beautiful, high-converting widget to your site in minutes — without needing a developer. It’s built for founders, marketers and indie hackers who want to showoff MRR and User count to improve conversions without wrestling with custom code. The idea came from seeing the same potential users on X wanting to showoff their mrr and user data. so why not to have a widget for it. I’d love your feedback: • What kind of widgets or layouts would you want next? • What would make this a “must-have” for your stack? I’ll be here all day replying to comments and questions. Thanks for checking out herowidget.com 💛

Missed opportunity by not using the tool on your own product's landing page.
Do you have plans to add more customization options (like matching the widget’s colors/fonts to a brand’s existing style) later on? She’s pretty particular about keeping her landing page’s aesthetic consistent, so tweaking the widget to fit her site’s look would make this even more seamless. Also—any thoughts on integrating directly with Stripe? That’s where she tracks her MRR now, so auto-pulling those numbers would skip the step of connecting a separate data source entirely.
Congrats on the launch, love what you’re building here.
Two small suggestions:
Consider offering OTP in addition to magic links. On mobile it usually feels much smoother and more “native” than jumping to email.
On mobile, the “Manage Metrics / Help / Sign Out” actions get a bit tight. A hamburger icon that opens these options in a drawer could really clean up the header. (I added a tiny HTML diff at in case it’s helpful to implement the mobile drawer quickly: https://pastebin.com/gQ3mh8YJ)
Interesting product, IMO the framing matters more than the raw realtime update. For example, showing "MRR growth % over 30 days" might outperform a simple counter. TBF I worry about privacy if folks publish exact user numbers on public pages. From my side I prefer rounded numbers and a "last updated" timestamp to build trust. This are something to watch and would love to see which signals you track post-launch.
Congrats on launch @aydaoz TBH this scratches a real itch for a lot of founders. The onboarding was quick and the widget looks sharp on both desktop and mobile. I wish the label copy was more editable, like switching 'users' to 'active trialers'. For very low-traffic sites, MRR may reads oddly, but it's still a neat social-proof layer. Happy to throw more feedback as I test new pages.
Congrats on the launch! tbf I'm skeptical about "real-time" being a game-changer for very early stage apps. Do you have any data on lift after sites embed HeroWidget? In my limited runs badges and social proof helped, but stats is the real driver for conversion decisions. Curious if there will be a simple experiments API or export.
I added HeroWidget to my landing page yesterday and saw more clicks into the signup flow within a day. IMO the live MRR counter gives a quick trust signal for visitors, especially for pre-launch pages. Integration was really simple, just drop the snippet, no devs needed. TBF it's still early for proper A/B numbers on my side, but the perceived legitimacy improved. The chart need a tiny tweak for rounding though.
Congrats on the launch — really like the simplicity of the idea. Embeddable metrics are underrated for trust & conversions. It would be great to see examples of the widget on different frameworks (Next.js, Shopify, WP) since compatibility is key. Best of luck today! 🚀
This is a super clean idea, Ayda — love how lightweight the onboarding is.
One question I’m curious about from a founder/analytics angle:
Have you seen any patterns around which metrics displayed in a widget actually move the needle on trust or conversions?
For example:
– Is MRR more impactful than showing active users?
– Do charts outperform simple counters?
– Does real-time updating matter, or are static snapshots just as effective?Feels like there’s a lot of psychology behind what “signals credibility” the fastest, and your product sits in a perfect spot to observe that.
Would love to hear your insights!
Hey Ayda, congrats on the launch! I’m curious when you saw all those founders on X wanting to show off their MRR, what were they actually doing instead? Like, were people hacking together screenshots, manually updating images, or just… not doing it because it was too annoying?
Neat widget—for indie founders building SaaS, showing live MRR or user metrics can really boost perceived trust & legitimacy. For early users: have you seen any lift in conversion/sign-up rate when sites embed Hero Widget vs. when they don’t? Especially for products that are pre-launch or in beta?
