Ever shipped a feature and didn’t know, if the customers loved it?

Validate features in weeks with Bucket.

Cheers!

Got it, makes sense. Appreciate the concrete example! As for the event tracking data, do you use a tracking plan, like Segment Protocols?

True ;) Sometimes, though, a new feature isn't getting engagement because people are busy. Product and Product marketing can use low engagement metrics to raise awareness.

Good point! Talking to some of the users of the feature you're about to remove is probably a good first step. Do those users use the feature in a way that's aligned with your product strategy?

How do you track that exactly? Any chance you can share a concrete example?

Hi, I’m the solo founder of Bucket. I’ve built this tool to easily measure the success of software features. Out of the box, Bucket will tell you how many users are engaging with your feature, and how often (daily, weekly, monthly). That’s it! It’s simple but enough to be actionable.

I’ve needed something like this in previous SaaS companies. For whatever reason, traditional product analytics platforms were never adopted outside of a small group of product managers. Bucket is analytics for the individual features.

I hope that software teams (engineers, designers, product, etc.) will consider using this. Sometimes we need to ship less new features and iterate on existing ones. Maybe even delete some features once in a while! :)

Feedback very welcome!

Very cool - thanks for sharing!

Nice work!

;-)

Fully agree regarding "collaboration". The "money" argument is what I'm arguing against in the post. You can pack more engineers in an open office, but if the software output is low, you're not saving money - you're carelessly wasting resources.

Hey, I'm the co-founder of Opbeat. Thanks for sharing! Would love feedback on our release.

Agree. However, a good side effect of being out there, talking to angels etc., is that you build up a gut feeling, so you learn whether conversations are going somewhere or not. Hopefully, over time, you won't stay clueless ;)

When we put it up in the office some people thought it said "Fuck it, sail it." ;)
