They crawled the data, but also had a services component to do something with the data. Like, they had contracts with pharma companies to search for indications that a page was selling counterfeit drugs.
I'm not sure of the exact details of why they didn't make it.
Also, I'm thinking about Recorded Future (https://www.recordedfuture.com). They do something like this -- again, the mechanics of scraping, and a services component for analysis.
(Was that meant as dash or em-dash? Are you speaking of a noun -- "vendeta-developers" -- or did you misspell "vendetta" and are explaining that the vendetta is a set of developers in Asia?)
The result will fit, and basically say the same thing. I've never had to fundamentally alter the meaning of a tweet, I just make it shorter, which is a healthy writing exercise.
The speed at which they worked was unreal. Their hands never left the keyboard. They knew where everything was, and they could literally retrieve any information in less than one second, both due to the speed their fingers worked on the keyboard, and the responsiveness of the app.
I remember thinking that I need to pay more attention to keyboard-only usage of the next app I write.

If you had to put a genre/category on it, what would it be?
Yes. Increase "social capital."
I asked them if they ever considered expanding to the US. They answered something like this:
>No, because governments in America are constrained because Americans hate their government and get upset whenever it spends any money. Americans want their government to spend the least by buying the cheapest stuff, so dealing with them is more trouble than it's worth. No local government in America will ever invest in quality.
It's oriented towards families, but it makes the case that there's no levels of time, just...time, we spend together. Things happen in the cracks between scheduled events that matter.

When you work remote, everything is scheduled, almost by definition. No conversations happen that are not task-directed. You lose something there.
Additionally, casual contact helps too. I put a couch in my office, and people would come just sit down and talk. The setting set the vibe. I had some great conversations with people just kicking back that I would have never otherwise had.
I absolutely realize people will disagree, but this is my experience.

I remember reading "The Art of Thinking Clearly" by Rolf Dobelli, and there's a sentence in one of the chapters where says something like "no one could have predicted to 2007 housing crash (except Nassim Taleb)." Well, turns out that Dobelli is a "protege" of Taleb, and I can just see Taleb editing this manuscript and cajoling Dobelli into adding the parenthetical.
As such, I break out in hives whenever Taleb's name comes up. Even if he's right some of the time, I still can't listen to a thing he says.
(I know -- pagination gives you a URL to a specific page of results. Who cares? When was the last time you deep-linked into a specific index page? Doing so is probably a bad idea, since when new content gets added, the contents of a specific index pagination will change.)
