  • Hiring Signals section

Monitoring

9 changes
  • Real-time competitive intelligence — activated

  • Subdomain tracking via Certificate Transparency

    a6bc02b

    New subdomains on competitor domains (like app.stripe.com or billing-v2.rivalize.ai) get flagged the moment their SSL certificate is issued — often weeks before products launch.

  • Continuous enrichment — GitHub, Product Hunt, App Store, changelog RSS

    a7386e8

    Previously one-shot enrichments now poll continuously. GitHub releases, Product Hunt launches, iOS and Android version bumps, and any competitor's changelog RSS feed.

    Track where competitor founders show up. Listen Notes for podcasts, YouTube Data API for interviews, Papercall/Sessionize for conference speakers, Google Trends for brand momentum.

  • Slack and email alerts with severity tiers

    9aa0354

    Critical and high-severity events fire instant alerts to your Slack webhook or email. Medium events batch into the weekly digest. Configure per project which event types trigger which channels.

Dashboard

5 changes
  • Competitors page — vertical stack redesign

    59110db

    See every competitor's full data stacked in a single scrollable view. Each competitor gets a complete section stack — profile, pricing, features, SWOT, momentum, founder, press, community, visual atlas — rather than a grid of shallow cards.

  • ChangesFeed chips for event filtering

    72a2ec4

    Filter the Changes Feed by category: hiring signals, infrastructure changes, product cadence, founder activity. See exactly what matters to you.

  • Founder Activity tabs

    04a908c

    Toggle between Posts, Appearances, and Trend spikes on any founder. See their LinkedIn and X posts, podcast and YouTube appearances, and Google Trends momentum in one place.

  • Per-monitor settings

    e1963db

    Configure each monitor type individually per project — enable news tracking but disable ad tracking, or dial cadence up for one monitor and down for another.

  • Alert policy editor

    9aa0354

    Dashboard UI for configuring which events trigger which channels. Severity-tiered rules, per-event-type overrides, Slack webhook verification.

  • Zero placeholder leaks in reports

    97884c4

    Swept every report across the database and eliminated visible 'Unknown', 'N/A', and raw URL artifacts. Every empty field now either renders a proper fallback or is hidden entirely.

  • Report generation — 38% fewer entity failures

    e70d3bf

    Fixed three performance bugs in the website scraper that caused entity extraction to fail on valid pages. Reports now complete with full data on sites we previously partially skipped.

  • Next.js 13+ app router shells now detected

    6b414b4

    The scraper correctly handles modern Next.js sites that render client-side, no longer mistaking them for blank pages.

  • Auth walls and error pages no longer mislabeled as content

    08eadd6

    Pages that return 401, login screens, or error states no longer get ingested as real content.

  • Parallel enrichment — faster reports

    1ba991c

    Five enrichment batches that previously ran sequentially now execute in parallel. Standard reports complete noticeably faster.

  • Brand name consistency

    6101a29

    Fixed subdomain product brands being misnamed as their parent company. Every rendered report now uses canonical brand casing.

Bug Fixes

5 changes
  • Competitors now populate from reports

    4c66098

    Fixed a bridge bug where reports generated but competitor rows never landed in the database. Resolved by falling back to alternate synthesis sources (comparison matrix, SWOT, pricing) when the primary path is empty. Backfill script also included.

  • Security hardening

    2462cc0

    Disabled admin routes in production, locked down trust proxy, tightened IDOR protections across all resource routes.

  • Email deliverability

    b85049e

    SPF, DKIM, and DMARC properly configured. Webhook ordering fixed. Suppression list handling now reliable.

  • Report renderers hardened against missing data

    86ee5bf

    Four report renderers now gracefully handle null/undefined inputs instead of failing the whole report.

  • Blank competitor empty-state

    4ba99d0

    Social links now validated against the brand name. Competitors with no detected social or brand presence show a proper empty state instead of misleading partial data.

  • Report versioning

    66139c5

    Every report tracks the synthesis version and render version it was produced with. Makes it trivial to invalidate caches and re-render with newer templates.

  • Developer docs site

    d218858

    New Starlight-powered docs site scaffolded under apps/docs. Build and deploy pipeline wired into the monorepo.

  • Certificate Transparency resilience

    ecd16f0

    crt.sh rate-limiting handled with Retry-After and automatic failover to CertSpotter when crt.sh is unavailable.

  • Database cleanup

    bec655c

    Removed 9 orphan migration files that were drifting from the journal.
