Growth Tracker

Growth Tracker (Free)

Track your indie product's traction across GitHub, dev.to, and Gumroad in one snapshot. Zero manual dashboards.

What it does

Pulls live metrics from public APIs and your own API keys:

• GitHub: stars, forks, watchers, open issues, traffic (views/clones via API)
• dev.to: per-article views, reactions, comments — totals and per-post breakdown
• Gumroad: sales count, revenue, conversion rate (requires Gumroad API token)
• Calculated: day-over-day changes, best-performing content, funnel drop-off

Outputs a structured snapshot you can save to a file or paste into a standup.

Usage

Run a growth snapshot for my indie product.

GitHub repo: tellmefrankie/ai-investment-skills
dev.to username: tellmefrankie
Gumroad product slug: tcyahy (optional — skip if no API token)

Show:
1. Current numbers (stars, views, sales)
2. What changed since yesterday (if I have a previous snapshot to compare)
3. Top-performing content piece
4. Biggest gap in the funnel (traffic vs conversion)

Example Output

=== Growth Snapshot — 2026-05-14 ===

GITHUB  tellmefrankie/ai-investment-skills
  Stars:    3  (+1 today)
  Forks:    0
  Watchers: 1
  Topics:   20

DEV.TO  tellmefrankie
  Published: 12 articles
  Total views: 847  (+60 today)
  Reactions:   4  (+2 today)
  Top article: "XLI options hit a 5.32 put/call ratio" — 412 views

GUMROAD  (API token not set — skipped)

FUNNEL
  dev.to views → GitHub clicks: ~8% CTR (estimated)
  GitHub visitors → Gumroad: unknown (no Gumroad data)
  Gumroad → Purchase: unknown

RECOMMENDATION
  Bottleneck is likely dev.to → GitHub. Add GitHub link to first paragraph
  of top 3 articles. XLI article has 412 views but GitHub has 3 stars.

Setup (optional for Gumroad)

For Gumroad tracking, set environment variable:

GUMROAD_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token_here

Get token: Gumroad Dashboard → Settings → Advanced → Access Token

For GitHub traffic API (views/clones), requires authenticated requests:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_pat

Everything else works without API keys (public data).

Save snapshots

Run growth snapshot and save to content/growth-YYYY-MM-DD.json
Compare with yesterday's snapshot if it exists.

Saves a JSON file you can track over time:

{
  "date": "2026-05-14",
  "github": { "stars": 3, "forks": 0 },
  "devto": { "articles": 12, "total_views": 847, "reactions": 4 },
  "gumroad": { "sales": 0, "revenue_usd": 0 },
  "top_content": "XLI options hit a 5.32 put/call ratio"
}

Why this exists

Built after spending too much time manually checking GitHub, dev.to analytics, and Gumroad separately every morning. One prompt now gives the full picture.

Free — no bundle required

This skill is fully free. No paid APIs needed for GitHub + dev.to tracking.

Gumroad integration is also free — just requires your own API token.
