LaunchSignal: Post-Launch Social Listening

Low-cost real-time monitoring of Reddit and X discussions about your launch

Problem

After launching, developers refresh Reddit and X for days, pasting threads into ChatGPT to analyze feedback, but often get told it can't see live posts or confidently invents a vibe; meanwhile the official API costs $500 to read 100K posts.

Solution

A simple MCP service or web app: scrape real-time mentions of specified keywords on Reddit and X using low-cost data sources, auto-summarize sentiment and key feedback, and provide structured output to the user's AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, etc.).

Users

Indie developers who just launched, small team founders, and PMs tracking specific topics.

MVP

Create a monitor by entering keywords/brand names; daily scrape and dedupe relevant Reddit and X mentions; generate short sentiment summaries and representative post lists; expose data to AI assistants via MCP or REST API; email digest.

Revenue

Subscription by number of monitored keywords and scrape frequency; free tier for one daily scrape; pay-per-use API access.

Why now

With AI coding assistants, indie developers ship more often, but real-time social data is expensive; lightweight scraping plus AI summarization enables differentiation at very low cost.
