Products that do what ScoutFox – An alert layer for first-mover intelligence does

Hi HN! We’re building ScoutFox, an alert layer that continuously scouts your interests, filters signals from noise, and reports findings. The ideal user is anyone wanting to monitor something specific to find some alpha before it's obvious. It could a VC looking to invest early on hot startups or a newsroom looking for a breaking story on a niche subject. Google Alerts and RSS feeds could find new changes associated with a keyword but they're bad at determining whether a new piece of information is genuinely significant relative to what the user already knows and cares about. That's the…

    Hi HN! We’re excited to share with you the public beta launch of our startup, HiDimensional (www.hidimensional.com). We are a platform consisting of senior engineering leaders who interview candidates and provide recommendations of the best candidates and their strengths. We then use the recommendations to refer these candidates to founders of startups that match their strengths and interests. The recommendation serves as a personal referral from the interviewer, so for candidates, it amplifies their application and fast-tracks them through the process. And for companies, they are receiving…

    TL:DR - https://morningbrief.ai/setup Hi, HN -- We're two indie cofounders who bootstrapped a new product to scratch our own itch: there's so much great content out there, but it's hard to find it. Sites like HN serve us like-minded people, but there are many more topics in other non-HN niches. Our idea is this: an email you get once a day, filled with only top articles (posted to HN, Reddit, etc) that match your specific interests. You can specify which interests, and how many links you want. Ranked by our signal score. To start, we built an ingestion engine. In the first few…
