Open-source media intelligence & social listening — a self-hostable alternative to Talkwalker/Brandwatch, built on free data sources and Claude AI. - Scognamiglio1969/radar-intelligence

👋 Hi everyone! I’m Massimo, the creator of Radar. I started building Radar after noticing that most media intelligence and social listening platforms are designed for large organizations and often come with pricing that’s out of reach for individuals, researchers, journalists, nonprofits, and small teams. My goal was to create something different: an open-source, self-hosted platform that brings together news, social media, RSS feeds, and other public sources into a single place, with AI helping turn large amounts of information into clear summaries and actionable insights. Radar is still evolving, and this launch is just the beginning. I’m sharing it early because I’d love to build it together with the community. I’d really appreciate your feedback: * Which features would make Radar most useful for your workflow? * Which data sources or integrations would you like to see next? * What would stop you from using it today? Thanks for checking it out, and I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Finally tried Radar over the weekend and the self-host setup was smoother than I expected, only hit one dependency snag. The Claude-powered sentiment summaries on Reddit threads actually felt useful, not just generic.

Finally gave Radar a spin on my own server and the setup was surprisingly painless. Really liked how it pulls from free sources without locking the good stuff behind a paywall.
