FollowGate - A free sdk to include a follow/repost step into your app.

by•
FollowGate lets app developers grow their audience with every download. Users "pay" for free apps with a social action — like following on X or reposting a post. Add a simple SDK to your app, set up your gate in the dashboard, and every new user becomes a follower. 100% free, no limits. Works with web apps, Electron, and Tauri. Built for indie developers who want to turn free tools into an audience-building machine.

Hey Product Hunt! I built FollowGate because I kept shipping free tools but never building an audience from them. The idea is simple: instead of giving your app away for nothing, users unlock it with a follow or repost. No paywalls, no ads — just a social action that takes 2 seconds. Right now it supports X (Twitter) with Bluesky coming next. The SDK is a single npm package that works anywhere JavaScript runs. The dashboard gives you analytics on unlocks, conversion rates, and skip rates. It's completely free with no limits — I'm an indie dev building this for indie devs. Would love your feedback on the concept and what platforms/features you'd want to see next!
