I don’t force anyone to register. Instead of a landing page, I opened the full admin dashboard to everyone. The only people who pay are those who truly see the platform’s value. I’m aiming to reach users who can give real feedback, without putting paywalls or hoops in their way. I know it will sounds stupid but revenue is not my goal right now.
Just curious how long did it take you to build all of this, I see subscriptions on the page now. And would love to know more about the tech stack and how much does it take to run and manage this site. What's the biggest bottleneck? Regards.
Been working on this side hobby project over a year now. It took me 6 months to put together everything. Probably someone who is actual SWE background would probably do this 3-4 months. But on the other hand, I have experience on security fields so I was already familiar with such as data formats.
Django, Postgres, Redis, Celery are the core of the infra. There are few containers around the core stack like news crawler, screenshot service etc. Everything runs on 30 euros VPS :)
Biggest bottleneck was the NVD service from the U.S. goverment. It's one of the three main source of vulnerability raw data and their budget has been cut due to new US policies, which cause instability on the maintenance of the service. I had to change design to support multiple source of intel.
Huge milestone — congrats! 🚀 Love how you focused on shipping features that practitioners instantly feel. A freemium + pro/enterprise model sounds like the right path: keep the core feed free, monetize scale/reliability. Curious to see what pricing you land on, but the traction speaks for itself!
I built CVEFeed.io after years chasing vulns across X and messy RSS. No fast, practitioner-friendly source without paywalls. CVEFeed.io is my answer: real-time, automatable CVE intel for developers, pentesters, and SOCs

That’s insane growth with zero marketing 👏
Really shows how strong the product–market fit is when devs just wire it in and stay.
Curious: with requests scaling like this, what’s been the hardest part to keep infra stable and costs predictable?
Yeah, this number is impressive. So, I have a question - how, taking into account this number, are you making just $120? This is more wild IMHO.

This is really cool. I am a security engineer myself and I've seen SecOps teams and security engineering teams rely on feeds like this.
BTW, the site looks slick 🔥
Thank you !!
