Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Howard, the maker of DocBeacon. Let’s be honest: the market for document sharing and tracking isn’t new. But as a developer and founder, I was consistently frustrated by the existing solutions. Too often, they feel either bloated and overpriced, or stuck with workflows and interfaces that haven’t meaningfully improved in years. Sharing a pitch deck, a proposal, or a legal...

I built it because I frequently need to package cross-platform releases and small ISO changes can be surprisingly painful—especially when you run into Unicode filenames, files larger than 4GB, or the need to preserve UNIX permissions.

A bit more about me: I’ve been building software and products for years, but DocBeacon is my first attempt at turning a very specific frustration into a focused SaaS. I built the entire product myself, from backend to frontend and infrastructure. The heatmap engine and the Sankey-style reading flow were by far the hardest parts, but also the most rewarding to get right. I know the document...

Hi everyone, I’m Howard 👋 About a year ago, during a team catch-up, someone from sales joked that most proposals vanish into silence after we hit “send.” We laughed, but it stuck with me. Nobody really knows what happens after a document is shared. That small frustration became DocBeacon - a document tracking and analytics tool focused on reading behavior itself. Unlike the broader sales tools...
