Is that true? What's the source?

Hey! I run a small competitor monitoring service for SaaS founders. One of the paid features lets you see what keywords a competitor ranks for on Google. I figured that's useful enough on its own, so I pulled it out as a free tool.

You just paste any website URL and it shows the top 10 keywords that site ranks for, with the Google position, monthly search volume, keyword difficulty, and search intent. Takes about 3 seconds.

New comment by maximedupre in "Show HN: I built a free tool to find recent news about any company"

maximedupre — Sun, 22 Feb 2026 10:54:33 +0000

Hey, I'm Maxime. I run ChampSignal, a small competitor monitoring tool.

One of the paid features is a news tracker for competitors. I wanted to make a free lite version that anyone can try without signing up. Paste a company URL and get their recent press mentions from the last 30 days. No signup.

How it works: enter something like "figma.com", the tool grabs the company name and runs a deep search across news sources. It crawls them live and makes short AI summaries for each hit. I filter out Reddit and the company's own domain so you only see third-party coverage.

Built with SvelteKit + Tailwind, deployed on Vercel.

Curious what results you get for companies you follow :D

Show HN: Free mission statement generator – paste URL, get draft in 5s

maximedupre — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 11:16:58 +0000

Hey HN, I built this as a free side tool for ChampSignal (my main product, a competitive intelligence platform).

I made this because I noticed many people were searching for it on Google.

You paste your website URL, it scrapes it, figures out what you do, who you serve, and what makes you different – then generates a mission statement draft. You can tweak the inputs and regenerate until it feels right.

It uses GPT-5.1 with web search to analyze your site. No signup, no paywall. I'm just hoping it drives some traffic to my main product :D

A few notes: - If you don't have a website yet, there's a "describe manually" option - You can pick different tones (professional, bold, friendly, etc.)

Would love feedback. What would make this more useful?

Show HN: Competitor Finder API – find real competitors from one hostname

maximedupre — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 11:16:11 +0000

I built a Competitor Finder API. You send a hostname, it returns 5-10 real competitors with why they match. Most domains come back fast, but if we need a fresh crawl it can take a few minutes.

Price is simple: $0.10 per competitor; optional enrichment is another $0.10.

It can be used to improve your onboarding or enrich your datasets!

New comment by maximedupre in "Show HN: I built a tool that generates 22-page competitor reports from your URL"

maximedupre — Sun, 01 Feb 2026 11:06:39 +0000

I noticed a lot of people want competitive intel when launching a new business or product, but don't need ongoing monitoring.

Most tools in this space are built for continuous tracking. But if you're just launching and need to understand your market, you don't want to pay monthly for something you'll use once.

So I built this. You give it your URL, it generates a 22-page PDF analyzing 10 competitors using real data from 15+ sources (LLMs, SEO APIs, third-party scrapers, custom website scrapers).

Covers positioning, pricing, SEO gaps, review sentiment, feature matrices, ad creatives. It's quite comprehensive :D

Stack: SvelteKit, Trigger.dev, Playwright, Prisma/Postgres, R2.

Imaging the number of people that this comment could inspire to get on SSRIs lol

I'm not saying it's a bad.

But I'm also saying there are no magic pills...!

10% cut of the corporate workforce in 2 months is wild lol

Crazy most of it is programmers (and/or various other white collar jobs) tbh

Cope. If you create something that genuinely solves a problem, people will buy no matter what.

Look entrepreneurship has never been easy. In fact it's always been one of the hardest thing ever. I'm just saying... *you don't have to do it*. Do whatever you want lol

Happy to hear what's your solution to avoid becoming totally replaceable and obsolete.

Or stay ahead of the curve as long as possible, e.g. work on the loop/ralphing
