Ugly Duckling
Consistency on 𝕏 made easier
Hello everyone! 🐱
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 🐤
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 It's now a Web Application - It uses X API instead of scraping (no longer maintained) X Analytics - Achievements for effort, growth, and consistency - Community leaderboards - Weekly progress reports - Consistency chart - Improved sharing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!
@dan_mindru @gregoiregilbert no worries, it's a pleasure to help @dan_mindru out! 😂
huh, good question, where do I even start.. I think I was most tempted to start injecting widgets/charts into the X UI last week 😄 I have a long list of stuff in my backlog. Tbh I just set the date a month ago and launched with what I had ready.
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
@adithya it's shamelessly stolen from Hans Andersen's tale "the Ugly Duckling" where the said duckling turns out to be in fact a beautiful swan. Made much more sense back when there was a bird in the X/Twitter logo 😃 the point was that the app would help smaller creators (ducklings) become beautiful swans:)
It's much less focused on analytics, more on gamification like leader boards, weekly goals and so on.. plus thanks to the analytics being simpler and not having to use more expensive endpoints it's much cheaper ($29 LTD, without subscriptions).
