Automated Newgrounds Portfolio Tracking

Every Monday, WebRun opens Newgrounds, checks each of your submissions for views, score, and comment counts from the prior week, logs a summary row to Airtable for every piece, and emails you a digest showing which submissions are gaining the most traction.

In short

How do I track my Newgrounds portfolio performance every week?

WebRun checks Newgrounds every Monday for each submission's views, score, and comment count, logs the numbers to Airtable, and emails you a digest showing which pieces are gaining the most traction. It only reads public stats, so an indie creator tracks portfolio performance without pulling numbers from every submission by hand.

  • Portfolio performance is tracked weekly without manual checking
  • Rising submissions are spotted the same week they gain traction
  • A running performance history builds up automatically over time

Built for Independent animators · indie game developers · digital artists · musicians and composers

Questions, answered

Does WebRun upload new submissions or reply to comments?

No. It only reads views, score, and comment counts. Uploading new work or replying to a comment is always done by you.

How far back does the portfolio history go?

As far back as the tracker has been running. Every weekly check adds a new row to Airtable, so the trend builds up automatically.

Can it track more than one Newgrounds account?

Yes. If you publish under more than one profile, add each one and every submission gets its own row across both.

Put this on autopilot.
