SocialTelescope

The pitch

SocialTelescope is a social listening tool that monitors keyword mentions across X, Reddit, Hacker News, and Product Hunt, consolidating them into a single inbox. It scores each mention from 0–100 based on topical fit, intent quality, engagement, and audience match, helping users quickly find high-value conversations. Users can also receive daily or weekly email digests of top mentions instead of checking the app constantly.

Unlike generic social monitoring tools, it applies a relevance-scoring algorithm across multiple niche developer/startup-focused platforms (Reddit, HN, Product Hunt) and offers a kanban-style reply queue plus customizable email digests for fast triage.

  Love the idea, I would pay for this. I am thinking it could be positioned more as a unified inbox with a AI tagging and upvoting view

• @mariakbuilds7/10

  The relevance score is the real feature here; my keyword feed in other tools is 90% noise. Would love more control over what counts as intent, but the weekly digest already replaced a manual routine for me.

• @devtomasz7/10

  Covering HN and Product Hunt alongside X/Reddit is exactly right for dev tools. The kanban reply queue turned lurking into an actual workflow. Scoring occasionally flags job posts as leads.

• @lena_ships5/10

  Does what it says, and the single inbox is tidy. My niche keywords surfaced fewer mentions than expected, so the value depends a lot on how active your space is on these platforms.

  Replaced my duct-tape setup of TweetDeck columns and Reddit alerts. The 0–100 scoring is surprisingly good at surfacing threads where someone is actually asking for a tool like mine.
