ShortsMonkey

We built ShortsMonkey because broad YouTube dashboards made it difficult to notice small channels whose videos were breaking out. The product focuses the daily workflow on views-to-subscriber ratio and momentum, with separate research for Shorts and long-form across more than 55 niche tracks. I would especially value feedback on which filters make a breakout shortlist more useful for planning.

The views-to-subscriber ratio is a much smarter signal than raw view counts — it surfaces genuinely breakout formats instead of big channels posting average numbers. The 55 niche tracks make it practical for daily research. How far back does the momentum window look, days or weeks?

ShortsMonkey Your product has strong potential, but I found a few key improvements that could make it even better. I'd love to share my feedback and suggestions—please contact me at [email protected].

The workflow friction you're addressing is solid - most YouTube dashboards prioritize raw view counts, but that's a vanity metric for creators trying to understand actual momentum. The views-to-subscriber ratio surfaces real breakout signals, and bucketing by 55 niches removes the noise of mega-channels drowning out emerging trends. The distinction between Shorts and long-form momentum is crucial too since they have completely different audience dynamics. If the daily cadence and filter selection make research workflows genuinely faster than context-switching between YT Studio and third-party tools, this becomes a legitimately useful utility for serious creators focused on pattern-finding rather than pure scale chasing.
