Hey everyone! 👋 Maker here. Super excited (and nervous!) to launch Craffr today. BACKSTORY: As a freelance consultant, I was wasting 15+ hours per week manually checking: - Reddit (5+ subreddits) - Hacker News - Dev.to - Product Hunt Jobs - RemoteOK - We Work Remotely - LinkedIn - Twitter I'd see great opportunities... 12 hours after they were posted, with 60+ responses already. I built Craffr to solve this for myself, and it's been a game-changer. Now I get alerts within MINUTES of posts going live across ALL these platforms. THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE: Most freelancers only check 1-2 platforms. If you're only on Upwork or only checking Reddit, you're missing 80% of opportunities. Craffr provides comprehensive coverage of where clients actually post. REAL RESULTS: After using Craffr for 6 months: - Time spent: 15 hrs/week → 30 min/week - Opportunities found: 3-5/week → 60-100/week - Response time: 12 hours → 15 minutes - Win rate: 15% → 28% - New clients: 12 clients in 6 months THE NUMBERS: In beta, our users collectively found: - 2,500+ opportunities per week - Across 6 platforms - Average 60-100 leads per user per week - 85% said they found opportunities they would have missed WHAT'S NEXT: - Discord community monitoring (April) - Slack integration (Q2) TECH STACK (for the curious): - Next.js 15 + TypeScript - Supabase (Postgres + Auth) - Resend for email alerts - Platform-specific APIs (Reddit RSS, HN Algolia, RemoteOK API, etc.) - OpenAI for quality scoring - Deployed on Vercel Also, here's a fun stat: We've already indexed 150,000+ job posts across these platforms in our beta. That's a LOT of opportunities freelancers would have missed! Happy to answer any questions! 🙏 Questions I expect: Q: "Why not just use Google Alerts?" A: Google Alerts misses 90% of Reddit/HN posts and doesn't cover job boards. Q: "Can I choose specific subreddits?" A: Yes! Pick from 30+ or add your own. Q: "Do you support remote-only filters?" A: Yes, for RemoteOK and WWR. Reddit/HN don't have location filters in posts. Q: "What about privacy?" A: We only monitor public posts. No scraping of private data. All platforms' terms are followed. Ask me anything! 👇

Hey,

The idea is solid, but the homepage leans more toward explaining the workflow than selling the outcome. Right now it shows how alerts work, but not clearly what that means in revenue terms (speed to reply, lead quality, close rate).

There’s also room to sharpen differentiation, why Craffr’s signals are better than manual search or other alert tools.

I do paid landing page & messaging audits for SaaS founders around Product Hunt launches, focused on positioning, above-the-fold clarity, and CTAs that convert early traffic.

If that’s relevant, I can share what the audit includes.

@paul91z Hey Paul,

Really appreciate you taking the time to look at Craffr and the thoughtful feedback.

You're spot on - I'm definitely leading with features instead of outcomes. That's exactly what I need to fix.

Right now I'm in day 1 post-launch crisis mode (learning the hard way about PH!), but I'd love to circle back on this in a week or two once I stabilize.

Can I bookmark your info and reach out then? I suspect I'll need help with messaging once I get past the initial launch chaos.

What does your audit typically include and what's the investment?

Thanks again for the feedback - even this high-level input is super valuable.

Best,

Ann

@akn3107 Hi Ann,

Thanks for the thoughtful reply! Yeah, day-one PH chaos is very real, so totally get the timing.

Happy to reconnect once things settle down. In the meantime, here’s a quick overview so you have it bookmarked.

Audit options:

1) Focused Hero Rewrite - $400
This is a tight, conversion-focused rewrite of the first screen:

  • Clear positioning angle

  • Multiple headline options

  • Supporting subheadline

  • Primary CTA
    All optimized for immediate clarity in the first 5 seconds (especially important for PH traffic).

2) Full Landing Page Messaging - $1,000
A complete messaging and copy pass:

  • Positioning & differentiation

  • Page structure and flow

  • Section-by-section copy recommendations

  • CTAs aligned to intent stages
    Focused on turning feature explanation into outcome-driven conversion.

Both are asynchronous, fast-turnaround, and tailored specifically for early-stage SaaS/Product Hunt traffic.

Feel free to reach out once you’re past launch mode.

Best,
Paul

Hi Ann,

Just following up as promised now that some time has passed since the PH launch.

When we last spoke, you mentioned wanting to revisit messaging once things stabilized. Based on what I saw on Craffr, I still think tightening the hero around outcomes (speed to first reply, lead quality, missed intent cost) would make a noticeable difference for new visitors.

If it’s useful, the two options I mentioned earlier are still available:

  • $400 - focused hero rewrite (positioning angle, headline options, subheadline, CTA)

  • $1,000 - full landing page messaging & copy flow

No urgency! Just wanted to check if this is something you’d like to prioritize now or later.

Best,
Paul
