I spent 2 hours manually checking Dev.to, IH, and GitHub for mentions of my product. There has to be a better way.

Update: Changed pricing to freemium based on feedback — Free for 1 product, $5/month for unlimited.


I launched a small dev tool recently. My entire distribution strategy is:

  • Reply to relevant threads fast
  • Show up where people are already asking questions

The problem? I manually check Dev.to, Indie Hackers, and GitHub Discussions every single day. By the time I find a relevant thread it's already 2 days old and buried.

F5Bot solves this for Reddit. Nothing solves it for Dev.to, IH, and GitHub.

So I'm building it.

Simple concept:

  • Enter your product name + keywords
  • Get alerted when someone mentions it on Dev.to, IH, or GitHub Discussions
  • Reply fast, while the thread is still warm

Free for 1 product. $5/month for unlimited.

No dashboards. No fluff. Just alerts.

Quick question: do you manually check these platforms for mentions? Would instant alerts actually save you time?

Honest yes/no — validating before building.

$9/month? - No. If you’re going to do something, make it open‑source.

You are allowed to charge for your work but $9/month seems a bit much for this.
