Hello everyone! π±
I presented to you the v1 of Ugly Duckling almost a year ago (how time flies!), but sadly, it was killed by changes in X/Twitter shortly after its first launch here.
Although initially I wanted to completely abandon this project, I realized that there was a lack of affordable options in this saturated market, so I decided to look for a way to resurrect the Duckling. I've completely rewritten the app in January, and since then, over 200 people have joined this new, little duck pond π€
What has changed?
- Ugly Duckling has a new home! It's now a Web Application
- It uses X API instead of scraping (no longer maintained) X Analytics
- Achievements for effort, growth, and consistency
- Community leaderboards
- Weekly progress reports
- Consistency chart
- Improved sharing (public URLs, new options for images export)
- A completely new Browser Extension
I'm so excited to show you the Ugly Duckling v2 and I can't wait to hear your feedback and suggestions!
Hello Norbert!
It's inspiring to see how you've turned the challenges into a comeback opportunity for Ugly Duckling. The new features, especially the community leaderboards and consistency charts, sound like fantastic tools for growth and motivation. I'm curious, how has the reception been for the achievements and weekly progress reports among the early users? Can't wait to dive into the new version and see the improvements firsthand! Keep up the great work!
This is just really well done. Branding is fantastic. Signed up for the trial to give it a go this week! Great job Norbert!
Why such a name? But interesting to grab the attention.
Btw, what is different from other Twitter tools like Blackmagic for example.
Picking it up later today :D
X analytics have historically been an eyesore and a barely-working nightmare, but Ugly Duckling has come to the rescue! π€β¨ Consistency can be super difficult to maintain, but goal-setting and progress-tracking within the community provides that extra push of motivation π Congrats on the launch!
Congrats! Can you elaborate on the changes in the market or industry that led to the decision to revive the project? I'm interested in this
Looks great! What would be the biggest differentiator compared to other similar Twitter analytics plugin?
Congrats on the launch! It seems like a valuable tool to help users track their social media consistency.
congrats on the launch @norbertjurga! Nice of you to have built a tool for @dan_mindru :D
What's one feature that didn't make the cut to this version?
