Captain's log-

Building the Spyrate landing page for pricing intelligence

What I worked on today

  • Wrapped up the Spyrate.io landing page. Kept it basic, but it feels like a solid starting point.
  • Tested AI-generated UI with v0.dev, but it didn’t meet expectations. Switched back to Tailwind UI for a cleaner, more controlled build.
  • Focused on clear, simple copy with just enough pirate references to give it personality.

Features section

  • Spyglass monitoring – Automated competitor price tracking and online price monitoring
  • Captain’s logChange history for pricing intelligence tools
  • Signal flaresInstant price change alerts for tracking market fluctuations

Kept the feature set concise and focused on clarity.

What’s next
