My name is Yahia, I've been working on scraping products for a long time and maintain a couple of free sites in my spare time (E.g. knifegeek.io)

What prompted this is i've rebuilt scraping infra at every company I've started and finally just made it a product.

Pass a URL, get clean markdown, html, images, sitemap or pass a domain, get logos, colors, socials, industry data.

Goal is to offer a better service than VC funded competitors at a fraction of the cost.

Stealth is included and automatic at no additional cost (normally an upcharge by alternatives).

Would love your honest thoughts.

Vibe slop-ing at supersonic speeds and waiting years to grow aren't the only options, there's something in between where you have enough signal to keep going and enough speed to not waste years on the wrong thing.

I feel that today's VCs have completely disregarded the middle and are focused on getting as big as possible as fast as possible without regard to the effect it's having on the ecosystem.

- are you just using favicons? - how often are you refreshing the logos? - what if no logo is found? - What is your universe set size? (I tried my own business brand.dev and said no logo)

Disclaimer: I run a similar feature on a separate product (https://docs.brand.dev/logolink)

Just shipped the brand.dev logo link, meant as a drop in clearbit logo api replacement.

Wanted to share

It’s used to power onboarding personalization, branded UIs, enriched transactions, AI prompts, and automated styleguides.

The goal is to make it trivial for products and AI systems to be “brand-aware” without asking users to upload assets manually.

The most obvious use-case is to pre-load your onboarding flow based on the user's corporate email so that they only need to "confirm" rather than fill out their information, it provides a pretty significant conversion rate boost for PLG B2B products.

Other use-cases include: - Powering Gen AI (ad makers, brand kits, etc...) - Automatically prefilling brand kits for email marketing platforms - Enriching company profiles for directories, CRMs, etc.. - and more!

Curious to hear your thoughts :)

The idea is that it's supposed to help deals avoid dying through endless email chains where its hard to tell what to do next.

Any time you want to programmatically enrich data with visual data this would come in handy.

It's very much a "this is exactly what i need" or "i definitely don't need this" type of service from what i've seen

My reasoning for creating this are the alternatives are WAY TOO EXPENSIVE (5-10x per api call).

Since it's a one man show, i don't need much margin and i'm happy to just keep it alive since my friends and i use it for other projects that have more significant margin.

Almost all requests goes through a proxy to be honest.

You pay per GB transferred basically which works ok for me at the moment.

Cheers!
