AI Analysis

The Take

It turns Medium metrics into a lightweight habit product — daily-synced stats, searchable indexing of your last 1,000 articles, and ranked top-article panels delivered as one SEO-friendly public page. The one-time lifetime pricing and automatic daily updates make it an easy tool for writers who actually check numbers each morning. Not groundbreaking — it's essentially a niche analytics/portfolio wrapper — but it's practical and clearly built around a real user behaviour.

Target Audience

Medium writers, freelance/content writers, creators who want a shareable portfolio and daily writing-motivation dashboard

Post Description

I wanted to flaunt my growth on Medium to my friends, so I built this self-updating portfolio page in a weekend. Now, top writers (also my friends) are using it daily to stay disciplined.

It pulls your stats daily and converts them into an organized dashboard that you can share with the world.

What it does:

- aggregates your Medium stats (followers, views, engagement)

- Lets you search your last 1000 articles by tags and keywords.

- ranks your top articles.

- plots your progress on charts and graphs.

- updates daily automatically.

- one shareable link, SEO-optimized.

What I learned: Writers don't just want stats to show clients... they want a daily reminder of their progress. it keeps them accountable and motivated to write consistently.

Gave them exactly what they needed ... a simple dashboard they check every morning.

Happy to answer questions!

Nice, focused carve-out: a readable block-based Markdown editor with code and rendered LaTeX, per-user subdomains, built-in newsletter and export-as-Markdown — everything you need to publish without the Medium baggage. It doesn't reinvent publishing (Ghost, Write.as, Substack cover much of this), but the combination of discover feed + simple analytics + no-ads positioning makes it a practical choice for creators who hate setup and bloat.
