Is that true? What's the source?

Hey! I run a small competitor monitoring service for SaaS founders. One of the paid features lets you see what keywords a competitor ranks for on Google. I figured that's useful enough on its own, so I pulled it out as a free tool.

You just paste any website URL and it shows the top 10 keywords that site ranks for, with the Google position, monthly search volume, keyword difficulty, and search intent. Takes about 3 seconds.

Hey, I'm Maxime. I run ChampSignal, a small competitor monitoring tool.

One of the paid features is a news tracker for competitors. I wanted to make a free lite version that anyone can try without signing up. Paste a company URL and get their recent press mentions from the last 30 days. No signup.

How it works: enter something like "figma.com", the tool grabs the company name and runs a deep search across news sources. It crawls them live and makes short AI summaries for each hit. I filter out Reddit and the company's own domain so you only see third-party coverage.

Built with SvelteKit + Tailwind, deployed on Vercel.

Curious what results you get for companies you follow :D

I noticed a lot of people want competitive intel when launching a new business or product, but don't need ongoing monitoring.

Most tools in this space are built for continuous tracking. But if you're just launching and need to understand your market, you don't want to pay monthly for something you'll use once.

So I built this. You give it your URL, it generates a 22-page PDF analyzing 10 competitors using real data from 15+ sources (LLMs, SEO APIs, third-party scrapers, custom website scrapers).

Covers positioning, pricing, SEO gaps, review sentiment, feature matrices, ad creatives. It's quite comprehensive :D

Stack: SvelteKit, Trigger.dev, Playwright, Prisma/Postgres, R2.

This is sick... you can just do things :D

With K3! Otherwise you're fucking yourself up.

Imaging the number of people that this comment could inspire to get on SSRIs lol

I'm not saying it's a bad.

But I'm also saying there are no magic pills...!

Ah thanks for clearing that up.

10% cut of the corporate workforce in 2 months is wild lol

Crazy most of it is programmers (and/or various other white collar jobs) tbh

Cope. If you create something that genuinely solves a problem, people will buy no matter what.

Look entrepreneurship has never been easy. In fact it's always been one of the hardest thing ever. I'm just saying... *you don't have to do it*. Do whatever you want lol

Happy to hear what's your solution to avoid becoming totally replaceable and obsolete.

Or stay ahead of the curve as long as possible, e.g. work on the loop/ralphing

They have to pivot to something else

> It hurts the ego a bit but the power to operate over software in large "code actions" is just too net useful

It does hurt, that's why all programmers now need an entrepreneurial mindset... you become if you use your skills + new AI power to build a business.

Now ChampSignal is gathering just a much data on YOUR business than it is on your competitors.

This allows the Champ AI agent to give fascinating insights.

Champ starts accumulating data from day 1 and gets better over time at knowing everything about your competitive landscape.

> email scraper, 1000 emails

What about that?

Seems like you're confused and emotional lool

Lol what don't you like about my scraper?

How am I a spammer lol?

Love is the answer.

Are you saying LLMs are broken? This is nothing more than a wrapper. Not sure why it triggers you so much lol

Yeah it could definitely be improved. For one I could use a better model than gpt-4.1, perhaps a reasoning model, but I didn't want to pay more for a free tool.

ChatGPT pretty solid ngl haha

Yes it assumes exactly that aha. It's also a free tool, so there is a tradeoff between which model I chose and much context I gave it :)

How is it broken? You submitted two websites that don't exist anymore and you expect good results?

It is LLM based so it responded with the information it had lol

lmao

It visits the website that you pass it, analyze the business, and then tries to find competitors. Sometimes it misses the mark though!

Can you tell me which URL you used, I'd love to debug it to make it better :)

Oh! That looks interesting :D I'll go through the article!

Ty sir

TY Nik :)

Right! That makes sense. I guess you still need some technical knowledge though.

Ty :) Yep, all your tests remain on your dashboard unless you delete them.
