Brand Monitor

Daily brand mentions from across the web.

The same shape as the news tracker, pointed at brand mentions instead. Built internally for BitGo, so the team could see what was being said without paying for a monitoring suite.

How it works

  • Scans 16 RSS news feeds plus Google News
  • Checks Reddit, YouTube, Hacker News and review sites
  • Keeps a 24-hour rolling buffer in Supabase
  • Posts a daily digest to Slack and Telegram
  • Runs on a GitHub Actions cron every morning

What it costs

Nothing again. Every source it reads is free, and the whole thing runs on free tiers.
