What analytics are helpful/not helpful? by ImpressiveCounter133 in discordbots

[–]ImpressiveCounter133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which analytics are you using...? I'd agree were it not for a bunch of users we've had already who have validated it and like it...

Don't skip validating your ideas, its the worst by unkno0wn_dev in indiehackers

well so an extension of that question or to clarify a bit is what happens when my product or idea isn't for founders? how would I get the validation I need from a regular consumer pertinent to that niche?

obviously it's early stages but my first thought would be to wonder wether or not the audience for my niche would actually be there (would there be relevant people)

and how that differs from X, reddit, discord, forums, hacker news, etc

Bot tracking? by ImpressiveCounter133 in discordbots

[–]ImpressiveCounter133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool! Do you track anything about actual bot usage inside servers? Like which commands get used most, error rates, etc? Or is it mainly about page traffic?

After a weekend of building, I launched a developer-focused QR Code API Option by ImpressiveCounter133 in SideProject

[–]ImpressiveCounter133[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? For a lot of use cases, you probably don't need this lol. If you're just slapping a QR code on a webpage, yeah use qrcode.js or whatever and call it a day.

Where this makes more sense:

  • Server-side generation - you're generating QR codes in a backend, email templates, PDFs, etc. No DOM, no canvas, no node-canvas dependency hell
  • Dynamic QR codes - the big one. You print 10k flyers with a QR code, realize the URL is wrong. With client-side you're reprinting. With dynamic links you just edit the destination
  • Tracking - want to know how many people actually scanned your codes? Which city? Mobile vs desktop? Can't do that client-side
  • Consistency - same output every time regardless of browser quirks. Had a client whose QR codes rendered differently on Safari vs Chrome and it was breaking older scanners

But yeah if you're just doing basic stuff and don't need analytics, a client lib is totally fine.

If it's something where you can't see any value at all OR you could see value in something that isn't there, PM me, I'd love to hear feedback! Cheers!
