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.
