Tracking competitors across social platforms reveals their strengths, weaknesses, and the gaps you can fill. You see what features people praise, what complaints surface repeatedly, and when users start looking for alternatives. For indie hackers, this is a high-leverage strategy because indie hackers build products solo or in small teams, and social listening is their unfair advantage.
