About Signatools

Our Mission: Simplifying Signature Campaign Tracking

Signatools is a dedicated Signature Campaign tracker designed for both Campaign Managers and Participants. Our primary mission is to simplify the monitoring of forum post activities, providing Campaign Managers with a powerful tool for quantitative data recapitulation. This makes checking and managing campaign activities significantly easier and more efficient than traditional spreadsheet methods.

While participants can also use Signatools to monitor their own contributions, our core focus is to empower managers with streamlined campaign oversight, helping them make informed decisions based on clear, accessible data.

Key Features

  • Focused Post Viewing: Dive into individual posts directly from the campaign detail page. Choose between a clean, original post view (without quotes) or a view that includes quoted content, with easy toggling options. Navigate through posts efficiently with built-in pagination.
  • Activity Snapshots: Post data and activity dashboards often highlight recent activity (e.g., over the last 7 days) to give you up-to-date insights into campaign performance and participant engagement.
  • Data Analytics & Visualization: Understand campaign dynamics at a glance with visual representations of:
    • Overall post counts within specific periods.
    • Participant activity levels.
    • The most frequently commented-on forum boards by participants within a campaign.
  • Especially for Managers (Account Holders):

    • Effortless Campaign Setup: Easily upload your participant list as a CSV, whether it's a direct file upload or a link from your spreadsheet. Just ensure your list's header row includes at least one keyword like 'profile', 'user id', 'id', 'username', 'uname', 'uid', or 'name' for participant identification.
    • Deeper Data Insights: Access more comprehensive data than what's available on standard campaign detail pages, giving you a fuller picture.
    • Custom Campaign Rules: Take control by defining your campaign's rules. You decide which posts count towards participants' totals, ensuring accurate tracking according to your specific criteria.
    • Verified Managers Only: To maintain platform integrity, manager accounts are created exclusively via PM on Bitcointalk, ensuring managers are verified individuals. There's no open registration.

Current State & Our Vision for the Future

We are committed to the continuous improvement and development of Signatools.

  • Data Focus: Currently, the system is optimized for near real-time tracking, with detailed post data primarily stored and analyzed for recent activity (up to 8 days). This allows managers to get the most accurate information, especially towards the end of weekly campaign periods.
  • Exciting Future Development: We are actively working on expanding Signatools' capabilities. A key upcoming feature is the ability for registered managers to export comprehensive campaign data to Excel, providing even greater flexibility for reporting and offline analysis.

Our Story

The inspiration for Signatools came from direct experience. As a former campaign manager myself, I understood firsthand the challenges of manual tracking, the tedious process of checking minimum character counts, and the general inefficiency of relying solely on spreadsheets. When accountability questions arose about data, providing clear, verifiable reports was often a cumbersome task.

Signatools was born out of a desire to create a more efficient, transparent, and user-friendly solution for the signature campaign community. The project initially started as a collaboration with a friend. However, due to their new work commitments, they had to step back. I've since continued its development as a solo endeavor. My background is primarily in UI web testing, with a foundational knowledge of coding, and this project is a journey of passion, learning, and applying technology to solve a real-world problem.
