Every feature is here because it makes finding, scoring, or tracking builders faster than doing it by hand.
GitHub stars, HN upvotes, Reddit karma, DEV.to posts. We index them and dedupe by person, so a single profile shows up across all four.
indexed across GitHub, Reddit, Hacker News, DEV.to and 9 more, scored and deduped to one profile per person.
A 7-day commit is worth more than a 3-year-old star pile. Scores decay on a half-life curve, so the top of your results is whoever shipped most recently.
Set the filters once. We send an email or RSS ping the moment a new builder matches. No daily digest, just the hits that matter.
Stash private context on any builder: outreach status, where you met them, why they matter. Only you see them.
Export any shortlist to CSV or JSON. Pipe it into Notion, Airtable, your ATS, or a spreadsheet. No lock-in.
We don't message builders on your behalf and we don't sell profile data. You find them, you reach out. That's the whole model.
Pipeline
Discovery is the entry point. Alerts, sprints and shared shortlists are what keep it running without you clicking refresh.
Set the filter once. We tell you the moment a new builder matches.

A radar for open-source builders: it aggregates public activity from 13 public developer sources — GitHub, Reddit, Hacker News and DEV.to among them — scores it for recency, and lets you save searches, get alerts, and track the people behind the work.
There is a Free plan that stays free: 3 saved searches, 50 saved builders, and full access to /explore and /blog, with no credit card and no expiry. Paid plans (Pro, Pro Max, Team) add smart alerts, semantic search, AI sourcing sprints and a monthly credit grant — see /pricing for what each one includes.
