Business judgment on AI products

Sitehunter

Indie developers hunting for a niche must trawl launch platforms and Google Trends by hand to note which new sites are gaining traffic and which keyword roots are spiking. Sitehunter periodically scrapes those platforms and keyword roots, ranks sites and keywords by growth, and lists link-submission directories with traffic metrics, handing users a shortlist of ideas to clone plus a promotion path; the exact crawl scope and data definitions still need verification.

Why this would be needed

Start inside the user's day · Public facts + workflow reasoning · 2026-09-11

Use case

An indie developer or small-team growth owner preparing a new project must work through launch-platform new-product lists, site traffic data and Google Trends keyword roots to pick ideas worth cloning and directories worth submitting to.

Switching by hand between launch platforms, Similarweb-style tools and Google Trends, logging candidate sites and keyword roots in a spreadsheet.

Manual platform-by-platform browsing is slow, the sites found often have no traffic so the direction cannot be judged, and keyword roots must be queried one by one, so the opportunity window closes while searching.

xOcto's call

Demand is evidenced

Trend: niche selection by indie developers is shifting from personal hunch to a monitorable public data stream; whoever turns 'new site rising + new keyword spiking' into a continuous signal owns the entry point for small-team product picking. Entry: start with Chinese-speaking indie developers shipping small overseas tools, sell a niche-intelligence subscription first, then consider charging per list or API call; avoid a generic ranking site and anchor on the single criterion of newly registered domains growing fast.

Reason to use it

Why users would choose it

Inference: versus manual platform browsing, it merges new launches, traffic changes and keyword spikes into continuously ranked growth lists, removing the 'find candidates first' step so developers go straight to judging and cloning; hence indie developers seeking a next niche without a stable information source would try it first.
