Most of us don't have an information problem anymore.
We have a signal problem.
I used to save dozens of "great" posts on X every week, then never use them again.
So I built Digg X to fix exactly that.
Try it here:
- Chrome extension: Digg X - The Social Scout
- Web app: diggx.nian.me
The problem: bookmarks are a graveyard
If you're a founder, marketer, researcher, or builder, your X feed is full of valuable ideas.
But default bookmarks are:
- hard to search
- hard to structure
- hard to reuse
You save a lot. You retrieve almost nothing.
That gap is what Digg X is built for.
What Digg X does in one flow
- You bookmark a post/thread on X
- Digg X captures and structures the content
- It syncs into your cloud inbox
- You get AI-ready material for analysis, briefs, and reuse
The goal is simple:
turn passive saving into active intelligence.
Why this is different from "another AI tool"
Most AI tools start with a blank input box.
Digg X starts with your real browsing behavior.
Instead of asking you to create work, it upgrades work you're already doing:
- saving posts
- collecting references
- tracking people worth following
This small UX shift massively reduces friction.
Product principles I optimized for
1) One-click capture or it doesn't matter
If saving takes too long, users stop.
So capture had to feel instant.
2) Resilience over perfect elegance
Social platforms change constantly.
I built fallback paths so extraction keeps working.
3) Signal density > feature count
I care more about helping users find one high-value insight quickly than shipping ten flashy features.
Stack (for builders)
Digg X is split into:
- Chrome extension (Plasmo + React)
- API backend (Cloudflare Worker + Hono + D1 + KV + R2 + Queue)
- Web app (Vite + React)
This lets me move fast on product while keeping ingestion and sync stable.
Who it's for
Digg X is built for people who learn from social content professionally:
- indie hackers
- growth marketers
- startup operators
- content researchers
- curious builders who want less noise, more leverage
What I'm improving next
- Better semantic search across saved content
- Stronger creator-level scoring
- Automated weekly research briefs
If you're building in this space, I'd love feedback.
Install Digg X:
