Mission
Value Proposition
A lightweight, self-hosted tool that monitors Facebook Marketplace for new listings matching user-defined criteria (keyword, price, location) and pushes instant Telegram alerts — no more endlessly refreshing the page or missing deals.
Target Customer
Individuals who actively buy/sell on Facebook Marketplace and want to catch new listings as soon as they appear — deal-hunters, resellers, collectors, and bargain shoppers.
Revenue Model
Open-source / free. Future options: hosted SaaS tier for non-technical users or premium features (multiple Telegram recipients, SMS alerts, advanced filtering).
KPIs
- Number of active watches per user
- Average time between listing appearing and alert sent
- Notification deliverability rate
- False-positive / duplicate rate
