ForumScout

Hey HN! My name's Josh and I'm the sole founder of ForumScout. I had the idea for this project about 3 months ago, and I've been building it ever since. ForumScout notifies you whenever your chosen keyword(s) are mentioned on ANY forum or Twitter thread. For example, let's say you own a SaaS that generates AI headshots. You could get notified when someone mentions "AI headshot", and offer them a free trial of your service. There are many ways I believe a tool like this can be useful, but a few of the obvious ones are: - Respond to mentions of your brand/website in real time. - Find…

ForumScout launched on April 22, 2025 with 19 votes, #1,024 of 7,818 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

The cheapest way to monitor keywords on the internet. Get 100 mentions every month, completely free. No card required.

Track live mentions of any keyword across the internet.

ForumScout finds people on Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitter, and 10M+ other sources who are actively looking for what you sell — so you can respond before your competitors do. ForumScout reads your site and understands your product, your customers, and your competitors automatically. Every few hours, we check Reddit, Twitter, LinkedIn, forums, news sites, and more for people who need what you sell. See high-intent leads in your dashboard or get notified by email. Each lead is scored and explained by AI. "ForumScout and especially the new AI filtering has been a game changer in finding relevant conversations to promote my products where people are ALREADY mentioning the exact pain we're solving."…from forumscout.app

    I built mention.click to help founders and marketers find real business leads, feedback, and opportunities by uncovering the right discussions on Reddit, without the hassle of keyword research.

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
