Show HN: Usage and crash reports for Python libraries and command line tools Understanding how your users experience your software is always difficult. It is especially difficult if we're talking about a developer tool like a library or command line utility. Devtool maintainers have to rely on GitHub issues and IRC/Slack/Discord to talk with their users. They miss out the experience of the majority of their users, who never build up the motivation to create an issue or post a message on Slack. Humbug addresses this problem. It collects developer tool usage reports and crash reports in a principled manner, only with the end user's full consent. Individuals or teams that maintain developer tools can use these reports to identify issues in their software, prioritize features, and in general improve their users' experience. You can find a lot more information on GitHub: https://ift.tt/2Nv6VnE Here is a short YouTube video showing how Humbug works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k2c8o_sXC4 Humbug is free to use for small projects. I hope you find it useful. If you would like to discuss your use case in greater detail, I would love to speak with you in the comments. You can also reach me by email (check my profile).

We put a lot of effort into a good UX to help musicians really focus on playing their instrument instead of pretending to be a recording engineer. The app records in stereo on newer iPhones (although that's a premium feature; the free version only records in standard mono audio quality). I would be really grateful for advice from this community on how to best approach marketing. We had a great TechCrunch article covering our launch [3], and we posted it on various music websites. Turns out advertising on Google or Apple Search is a dark art, though. We have some good ideas for developing a good social media presence, but they will take time. Please hit us with feedback, opinions and advice that you think a young ind...
