Hi HN, solo developer here.
For the past few weeks, I've been spending more time manually searching for mentions of my projects on social media than actually coding them. I built a simple tool to fix this, and I thought it might be useful for others here too.
The tool is called EngagementTracker. It’s a simple Python app that monitors Hacker News for a keyword you want to track and puts any new mentions on a clean, auto-updating dashboard.
Tech Stack: I built this MVP in a single day using the BMad Method with GitHub Copilot. It's a FastAPI and HTMX application, so the UI is server-rendered with Python. For the database, I'm usingPostgres on Stashed, but it's deployed on Fly.io.
This is a very early MVP, and I would be grateful for your direct, honest feedback.
Is this something you would use?
What's the one feature you'd add next?
What’s confusing or broken?
The core functionality is live now. I plan to eventually charge a simple $5/month fee to cover server costs once it's more polished.
Thanks for taking a look!
