Launch Funnel Doctor
Huge views, almost no installs? See where readers drop off before installing
- Problem
- A developer shared painful numbers: 16,000 views across three posts moved users from 10 to 300. The link was buried in comments, and mobile readers bailed once they learned the product was a browser extension. People can count views but can't explain where readers give up before installing.
- Solution
- Generate tracked short links and a light landing page per channel, record each step from link click to viewing install instructions to store redirect to install completion, highlight the biggest drop-off, and suggest fixes per device type, such as a save-for-later prompt on mobile.
- Users
- Indie developers promoting browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile apps in community posts
- MVP
- Tracked short links and light landing pages per channel; event tracking for clicks and store redirects; funnel view split by device and source; install callback integration; weekly drop-off digest email
- Revenue
- Free tier limits channels and lookback window; subscription unlocks full funnels and scheduled digests
- Why now
- Community posting remains the top acquisition channel for indie developers, and the views-are-not-users lesson is being widely discussed, making this attribution gap a low-barrier tooling opportunity
