The Challenge

Developers drowning in information — needed high-signal trend intelligence without the noise.

Had to aggregate and analyse 100+ sources in real-time: HackerNews, GitHub, npm, arXiv, security feeds.

Wanted AI-native integration so Claude could query the data directly via MCP.

The Solution

Built a real-time collection pipeline with 23+ automated fetchers across news, packages, repos, and security feeds.

Content extraction pipeline for full article text with deduplication by URL and content hash.

Multi-panel dashboard: velocity tracking, security digest, stack radar, breakout detection, opportunity finder.

REST API with tiered access plus two MCP servers for direct AI integration.

Collaborative build with Emma Quigley — idea to production in 10 days.

"Stu and I built an AI-powered documentation review tool together - it handled PR reviews, added frontmatter, found and linked related docs automatically. We went from idea to working product incredibly quickly. He's fast, he gets AI, and he's genuinely fun to collaborate with."
