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! 👇
