Hey PH, I built DocBeacon - Know what happens after you send your 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 in this space, DocBeacon goes deeper into how people read:

• Engagement metrics tell you not just who opened, but how they moved through your content

• Reading heatmaps show exactly where readers focus their attention

• Sankey flow charts visualize reading paths and drop-offs across pages

There are big players in document tracking, but none give this level of behavioral insight. That’s where DocBeacon stands apart - it’s for those who care about what actually happens inside their documents.

I just launched it recently (https://docbeacon.io), and I’m still learning every day as a solo founder. If you’ve ever wondered how people read your pitch deck, proposal, or report, I’d love your feedback or to hear how you’d use it.
