I'm an indie dev actively doing distribution for my product. Every day I manually check these platforms to see if anyone mentioned my product or asked a question I could answer.
It's slow, I miss things, and by the time I find a thread it's already 2 days old.
F5Bot is great but only covers Reddit. Brand24 and Mention.com are $50+/month — overkill for solo devs.
I'm building a simple mention monitor that covers:
You enter your product name and keywords. Get alerted the moment someone mentions it. Reply fast, get noticed.
$9/month. No fluff.
Simple yes/no: would you pay for this? Drop a yes/no below.
F5Bot proved the demand.
The gap is real.
The name is the bottleneck.
If this becomes the default lightweight mention layer for indie products, F5Bot-style utility naming will cap trust fast.
You’re not building a bot.
You’re building monitoring infrastructure.
That gets taken more seriously with a name that can scale past “indie side tool.”
Beryxa.com fits that much better if you’re planning to turn this into a real product, not just a keyword notifier.
