The problem it solves

You want to catch new keyboard group buys and interest checks the moment they post, but refreshing forum pages all day isn't realistic. By the time you notice a thread, the best slots or early pricing may already be gone.

Who it fits

Keyboard enthusiasts, community moderators, or hobby shop owners who track forum activity for group buys.

How it works

  1. The system checks the forum for new posts every hour
  2. It filters out replies and keeps only new threads
  3. It skips any thread that's already been seen before
  4. It pulls the full post and any images from the thread
  5. A formatted alert with the post and images is sent to Discord
What you get

Group buy posts you'd otherwise miss

You get an instant Discord alert with photos whenever a new keyboard group buy or interest check appears on the forum.

What you get

A Discord notification with the new thread's title, content, and images.

What you need

A database to track processed posts and one or more Discord accounts to receive alerts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
