Hello everyone! π±
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 π€
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- It uses X API instead of scraping (no longer maintained) X Analytics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!

Who hunted Ugly Duckling?
Ugly Duckling was hunted by Norbert Jurga. A βhunterβ on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform β uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
