someone asked me if I use agents to build businesses and I responded the following rewrite it: I had begun building https://SignaScout.Vercel.APP which simply takes keywords and exports verified contact information performing search using SERP and email verification using Hunter.io, but right before paying for the milestone I got banned from my only point of contact, Reddit. We were going to build it into a SaaS, but now I have no way to contact the client. But honestly, I was not out that much work, I ran everything using my local coding stack. SignaScout in its current form is a great local first tool and could be built into more
I started building SignaScout, a tool that takes keywords, runs SERP searches, and returns verified contact information using Hunter.io for email validation. The plan was to turn it into a full SaaS product with a client I connected with on Reddit, but right before I was supposed to get paid for the first milestone, my Reddit account got banned and I lost my only line of communication with them. That said, I didn’t lose much in terms of effort since I built everything using my local stack. As it stands, SignaScout is already a solid local-first tool, and there’s still a clear path to expanding it into something much bigger.
