Likes don't pay
Your most-liked post often brings zero customers. Social stats measure applause, not revenue.

Why upTake
The marketing problem every maker faces
You ship fast and post everywhere. Then you have no idea which of it brought the people who pay. How it works →
No time to analyze
Five dashboards, three exports, one spreadsheet. Nobody shipping on weekends does that every week.
hours spent on analyticsper week
Releases go unannounced
You shipped twelve features last month and posted about two. The rest never brought a single visit.

XI built a PDF tool in a weekend. Here's what I learned about pricing it at $9 vs $19. A thread on what actually moved conversions.

GitHub
You ship. AI writes the announcement.
When you ship a release or merge a PR, upTake drafts a post for each channel, with your own link tagged for that channel. Your next report tells you whether anyone came.
- Reads release notes and PR titles, never your code
- Keeps fixes and internal changes out of your feed
- Suggests the channel that worked last time

Integrations

Stripe and GitHub connect directly. Everywhere else, a tag on your own link (?ut=reddit) or a QR code does the measuring. Faded ones are coming soon.

Frequently asked questions
Do you read my code?
No. upTake only reads release notes and pull request titles, on the repositories you pick. Your code is never read or stored.
Does it work before I have revenue?
Yes. Without Stripe, upTake tracks signups or your waitlist instead.
How is this different from Google Analytics or DataFast?
They tell you where visitors came from. upTake tells you which of your posts, launches and releases caused it, and what to do next.
Which networks do you support?
Stripe and GitHub connect directly. Reddit, X, LinkedIn, Indie Hackers, newsletters and anything else are measured by adding a tag to your own link, like yourapp.com/?ut=reddit, plus QR codes and your action log. More native integrations are on the way.
What about my visitors' privacy?
The script sets no cookie and upTake never stores IP addresses. The data is hosted in the European Union. An option that remembers returning visitors for 90 days exists; it is off unless you turn it on.
What if my posts don't include links?
Log them in one click. upTake estimates their effect from the traffic their channel sent in the following 72 hours.
What was your last post really worth?
Paste your URL. upTake reads your site and sets up your project in about four minutes.
