About Groar

Groar is a web tool for makers who share their progress in public. You enter your handle and metrics from X, GitHub, Reddit or a SaaS dashboard, choose a background and colors, and export a PNG image designed for sharing instead of a plain analytics screenshot.

There are four templates, including a milestone template for celebrating a number. Supported metrics include followers, posts, impressions and likes for X; stars, forks, contributors, pull requests, commits and issues for GitHub; karma and upvotes for Reddit; and subscription and customer figures for SaaS products. The process takes three steps: enter metrics, customize the style, and download the image.

It is aimed at indie hackers, content creators, open-source maintainers and founders who post growth updates. The site offers a free start and has a separate pricing page, and a gallery shows milestone images made by the community.
