AdBacklog — From 0 To 100 Users in 10 Days Thanks to PH
Lightweight ad‑performance insights for indie makers and small teams.
👋 Hey Product Hunters!
I’m Floris, the maker of AdBacklog. Ten days ago we quietly opened our beta and we’re already celebrating 100 users — with some joining directly from Product Hunt threads and other indie communities. 🎉
We built AdBacklog because running paid promotions should feel exciting, not nerve‑racking. Every click is precious when you’re bootstrapping, yet most analytics tools drown you in metrics that don’t answer the only question that matters: “Did this ad actually bring me customers?”
🚀 What AdBacklog Does
AdBacklog is your centralized campaign command center, built for marketers by marketers:
* Plan, track & manage campaigns—across all channels
View and organize Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn campaigns in one shared workspace that replaces scattered tools like spreadsheets, Slack threads, or buried docs.
* Flexible, intuitive campaign views
Choose the visualization that matches your workflow—Table, Calendar, Kanban, or Timeline—so you always know what’s live, what’s next, and who’s doing what.
* Built‑in collaboration & stakeholder access
Invite teammates or clients with role‑based permissions (view‑only, editor, admin). No more chasing updates via Slack or Notion.
* Cross‑campaign performance insights
Automatically aggregate metrics from ad platforms, so you track campaign status, ROI, and performance trends without toggling across tools.
* Central repository for assets and notes
Store creatives (images, copy) and attach status notes or performance updates directly to their campaign tasks—keeping everything in context.
* Marketing-first UI—no onboarding headache
Start planning, tracking, and optimizing campaigns instantly thanks to a clean, marketer-centric interface.
📈 Early Traction
* 100 users in 10 days
* 2,400+ ad clicks tracked
* 100 conversions attributed
We’re humbled by the response so far and can’t wait to see what you do with the tool next.
🗌️ What’s Coming
1. Alerts and notifications – Celebrate wins and catch costly trends instantly.
2. API integrations with ad managers – Direct connections to Meta, Instagram, and Facebook Ads for seamless data syncing.
Your feedback will shape this roadmap, so don’t be shy!

Super smart to build something specifically for small teams. Most tools feel too bloated for indie projects.
@tina_kim2 Thnks Tina!
@floris_meulensteen This is impressive, Floris. Exactly why I couldn't stay away from PH anymore.
The Kanban view is awesome. Felt more like managing a creative project, not just analyzing numbers. Well done.
@hazel_mathew Thanks a lot Hazel! :-)
