Before step 1

- OpenAI/Anthropic API key for relevance & sentiment tagging
- hosted Postgres + a cron worker or queue
- Slack/Discord incoming webhook URL(s)
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for SnitchFeed. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- X/Twitter and LinkedIn coverage entirely (neither has a free public search API), so two of the five platforms are simply gone
- one aggregated, deduplicated stream across five platforms instead of five half-working pollers
- the noise-reduction stack: boolean query grammar, AI fit scores, sentiment, intent tags, and automated noise auditing that keeps tuning what gets through
- a real-time dashboard with curated feeds, saved views, and analytics reports instead of a Slack ping you learn to ignore
- an agent-native surface: an MCP server and public REST API so your own AI agents can search mentions, create listeners, and act on intent directly
