Needle
Find conversations where people are already talking about your product
Needle is a web app that searches public communities like Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub, X, and Bluesky for posts mentioning your product, competitors, or solution. It ranks results by buying intent and relevance, giving founders and go-to-market teams a prioritized list of high-value threads to engage with. It also includes a directory of verified startups and tools.
Needle queries supported platforms via their APIs, then filters and ranks posts by buying intent, relevance, and competitive context to surface the most actionable threads.
