About
Who runs NicheAlerts and why
NicheAlerts is a daily intelligence desk for indie builders. Every weekday it publishes 3-5 short briefs that connect a fresh source signal to search intent, page ideas, product paths, and the risks worth knowing before you ship.
What we publish
Each NicheAlerts brief is a single page that does four things in order: it cites the original source signal, names the search intent the signal exposes, sketches the page or product the opportunity points to, and ends with the risks or constraints we think a small team should weigh before acting. The free portion of every brief is enough to decide if the opportunity is worth pursuing. The Pro portion adds the keyword cluster, SERP judgement, page outlines, and monetization paths.
Briefs are deliberately short. They are not surveys of a niche, not keyword dumps, and not AI-generated essays. They are decision aids for builders who already know how to ship and need a focused list of where to look next.
How opportunities are produced
Source candidates are drafted by Codex against a fixed editorial prompt that requires every candidate to cite a public, dated source and to score itself on momentum, intent clarity, supply gap, and monetization. A human editor then reviews each candidate before it is published. Only reviewed opportunities reach the website, the email digest, and the RSS feed. Drafts that fail review are discarded — they do not become quietly published thin pages.
We treat the daily cadence as a constraint, not a target. If a given day produces fewer than three reviewed opportunities, the digest goes out short rather than padded.
Who edits this
NicheAlerts is edited by ruxx, the founder. The same person reviews every brief, chooses what is worth publishing, and answers email. There is no anonymous editorial pool — if you disagree with a published opportunity or spot a factual error, the person who let it through is reachable directly through the channels below.

What this site is not
NicheAlerts is not a general SEO blog and not a tool directory. It does not publish how-to guides, listicles, or AI-generated roundups. It does not auto-publish. If a topic fits the daily decision-aid format and is grounded in a fresh public source, it belongs here. If it does not, it goes somewhere else.
