Five pings. None of them is a customer.
Tripwire, watching for someone unhappy and open to switching
One ping. It never says “invoicing tool”, and it's the only one that matters.
How it works
Write one sentence
Say who or what you're waiting for, the way you'd tell a friend. No keywords, no boolean operators.
Tripwire reads everything new
Every new post on the sources you pick gets checked against your sentence: does it mean this, and is it an ad?
You get pinged with the reason
A notification with the post, the phrases that matched, and how sure Tripwire is. Unsure matches stay quiet.

Straight answers
Which sites will it watch?
The plan is Reddit, Hacker News, public forums, and job and tender boards. The final list depends on each platform's API terms, so we won't promise a source until we're allowed to read it properly.
How fast is a ping?
The goal is seconds to a few minutes after a post appears. Checking a post takes a fraction of a second; the real limit is how quickly each source lets us see new posts, and that varies by source.
When can I use it?
We're building it now. People on the waitlist get access first. The sentence you write here is how we choose which sources and niches to build first, so a specific one helps you and us.
Will it spam me?
It's built not to. Every match comes with a confidence level, and low-confidence matches don't ping you. Promotional posts and giveaways that only contain your words get skipped.
What do you do with my email and my sentence?
We use your email to tell you when Tripwire opens and your sentence to plan what to build. We don't sell either, and you can ask us to delete them at any time.
