Who builds it
Parsa Khazaeepoul, founder of dcouple. Parsa writes every page on this site and reviews every number. The source code, issues, and roadmap are at github.com/dcouple/discatch.
The three dogfood products
dcouple has three products in market, and all three need to know when someone talks about them online.
- Doozy is an agent-native todo app. It watches for feature requests and bug reports across forums, Hacker News, and GitHub.
- Pane is a terminal workspace for running coding agents. It watches for posts about terminal tools, agent frameworks, and competing products.
- Bloom watches for posts about its own category.
discatch is the monitoring layer underneath all three. If it cannot serve Doozy, Pane, and Bloom, it is not ready to serve anyone else.
Why dcouple can build this
- Prior scraping experience at the scale of millions of pages, and known cheap providers to wrap into a waterfall.
- Three products to dogfood on from day one, so the product is tested against real workloads before launch.
- A domain that says what the product does.
What is open source
The clients are open source under MIT: the Python SDK, the Node SDK, the CLI, the MCP client pieces, the adapter interface, the playbooks, and the docs. The hosted service is closed, free to start, and paid for volume.
The playbooks are open too: scripts and quick starts that plug into the API. Reply drafting, competitor watch, launch-day monitoring, forum triage. Users copy and adapt them. The playbooks repository is at github.com/dcouple/discatch-playbooks.
Where the name comes from
Discourse is online conversation. A catch is a standing alert: a query plus a destination. discatch catches discourse. The tagline is "Catch discourse online."
What discatch will not do
- Post on your behalf. discatch catches and hands off. Reply drafting is the job of your own agent, from a playbook.
- Charge per keyword. A search costs a unit; a catch costs a unit per firing. How many terms the query has does not change the price.
- Hide the price until after the call. Every call can be quoted first, and the quote is a ceiling.
Status
discatch is pre-launch. The roadmap has six phases; phase 1 is in progress. The doctor manifest at api.discatch.com/v1/doctor reports what is live. Every page on this site marks what is planned and what is shipped.
