   Highly recommend for anyone to monitor keywords

   I use it every day. F5Bot is amazing at notifying for specific keywords. The only downside is that it doesn't have context around your keywords, so you will get more emails with keywords than expected. It really depends on your keywords and how you monitor them. Overall it's a high quality monitoring service.

   👍 Pros:    Free to use|High quality|Reliable

   Pretty useful little tool for catching reddit mentions :)

   Easy to setup and forget, would definitely recommend

   F5Bot is awesome. Compared to similar services, it delivers notifications in nearly real-time. I get notified about online discussions mentioning my product as they happen, not a day later.

• How to Successfully Promote and Market an API

  Sign up for F5Bot and set up keyword monitoring for your Problem space across Reddit, Hacker News, and Lobsters.

• Creating your own PDF templates (not page templates!)

  Your technique is one I would turn towards as a developer who understands HTML/CSS flow so much better than I do any typesetting tool. I actually use a very similar technique for managing my CV and generating invoices for clients; I have a little "static site" generator I've written that takes JSON, throws it through a templating engine, and spits out HTML files. I then host a server in the output folder and... Source: about 3 years ago
