Every link counts

Every post version you approve gets its own short link on your game's address, and so does every creator you pitch. Tinderbox Works counts the clicks and sends people on to your Steam page, your site or your playtest form; Steam's UTM export adds the wishlists per link, so you see which post worked.

Recorded from build 0.33.0 by Claude Code

A link per post, per network.

Approve a version and its link is made: yourgame.tinderboxworks-sites.com/go/k7f2, or on your own domain. Write {link} in the text and it's filled in. On X and Bluesky, put it in the first reply.

Every click, counted.

Tinderbox counts each click per day, nothing about who clicked, and skips link previews and bots. Before your Steam page is live, links go to your site or your playtest form, and feedback sent through a link counts as a signup.

Wishlists per link.

Upload Steam's UTM export on Results › Links and each link gets the wishlists that followed it, matched by its code. Links made by hand work the same, for any post or an itch.io or Discord address.

Creators: their own link, one follow-up.

A creator's link is made with the first approved message, for their video's description. Claude Code writes one follow-up, never a third message; two weeks after it without a reply, the creator reads No answer.
