About us
Ideas Tracker was created by AFOLs for AFOLs. We are strong believers that the LEGO® Ideas programme offers enormous potential to all LEGO fans, but it's a potential that needs to be used well. Whether you're a project author or a supporter of someone else's project, you deserve to know how that project is performing and what are its chances of getting to the finish line. And while the LEGO® Ideas website offers many great features, the statistics of a project are only available to its author.
We are strong supporters of data transparency and we wanted to make the LEGO® Ideas a little more transparent. To that end, we have developed our own solution that can track daily changes in growth of every single project that's currently gathering support on the LEGO® ideas website. You're looking at it right now :)
IdeaSonar is by definition a passion project, and as such it is offered on a 'free for all' basis, without serving ads, tracking visitors or requiring them to log in.
You're welcome!
