last30days-skill vs SurfSense
The /last30days skill: researches any topic across Reddit, X, YouTube, HN, TikTok and Polymarket in parallel, scores by real engagement, and synthesizes one grounded brief. 50+ agent hosts. — versus — Open-source competitive-intelligence platform for agents: live Reddit/YouTube/TikTok/Maps/search connectors; scheduled agents produce briefs and alerts into a cited knowledge base. REST + MCP.
Same signal sources (Reddit, YouTube, social, search), different shapes: SurfSense is a self-hosted platform where scheduled agents build a cited knowledge base; /last30days is a skill inside your own agent — on-demand briefs, BYO keys, no infrastructure.

last30days-skill — the curator's take
A search engine scored by upvotes, likes and prediction-market money instead of editors — and the insight that made it #1 trending: no single AI can search all these walled gardens, but YOUR agent with YOUR keys can. Reddit, HN, Polymarket and GitHub work with zero config; a 30-second wizard unlocks X, YouTube, TikTok, arXiv. Installs into Claude Code via marketplace or 50+ hosts via npx skills. NOT neutral research: engagement-weighted synthesis inherits every platform's biases and hype cycles — it tells you what people are excited about, which is not the same as what's true. BYO keys means BYO rate limits and ToS exposure on X/TikTok.
SurfSense — the curator's take
The interesting shape: not a scraper, the layer above — agents subscribe to live market signals (Reddit threads, YouTube, rankings, Maps) through one REST/MCP surface, scheduled runs turn findings into briefs, and everything lands in a citable knowledge base. If you're building market-monitoring agents, this saves you the connector swamp. Two honesty flags: the project just pivoted from 'NotebookLM alternative' to competitive intelligence (the README says so itself) — momentum is real but the identity is weeks old; and NO standard license resolution at review time — verify before building on it.
