In simple English
This tool searches social networks and news feeds to find people talking about the problems your product solves. It collects posts, scores them based on how likely the person is to buy, and lets you read them in a simple web page. You run it on your own computer so your data stays private. It costs nothing to run for RSS and Hacker News, but other social sites use a paid search service. You will need to spend a little time choosing keywords and checking the results.
What it is
A local lead discovery application written in Python with a built-in web dashboard. It pulls posts from multiple platforms, removes duplicates, scores them with customizable rules, and stores everything in a local SQLite (a small, self-contained file database stored directly on your computer) database.
What it is good for
Solo founders and indie developers who want to find potential customers on social media without paying for expensive enterprise sales tools.
- Runs entirely on your own computer with zero third-party Python dependencies to install.
- Scoring rules are fully customisable as JSON so you can tune what makes a good lead.
- Includes a bilingual user interface with English and Chinese toggled right in the header.
- Paid social networks require an account and a paid token from the Treg service.
- Running searches on external platforms depends on third-party API availability and pricing.
- Requires you to manually review and reach out to the discovered leads yourself.
