Twelve sources. One queue worth reviewing.
The context
My prospecting starts before a company appears in a polished sales list: hiring threads, funding events, product launches, and founder activity. Reviewing those sources in separate tabs was becoming the job.
Pulse is the acquisition workspace I built for that workflow. Source-specific collection, contact verification, saved searches, and outreach state feed one keyboard-friendly opportunity inbox.
I built the Next.js review experience, FastAPI acquisition pipeline, source adapters, verification stages, scheduling, and Supabase-backed records.
Inside Pulse
The key workflows, up close.
Saved searches combine sources, keywords, locations, and a schedule. Scan status and results remain attached to the search that produced them.
Each source keeps its own fetch strategy, rate limits, retries, and hydration requirements while returning a shared lead record.
Direct mode starts from roles and keywords. Cold prospecting starts from a location and a business niche. The search editor changes its controls and source defaults to match that intent.
Resetting the relevant source defaults avoids sending a location-based business scan down an unrelated job-board path.
Keyword bundles group related terms into selectable chips. Active and partial states reflect what is actually selected rather than behaving like independent toggles.
Removing a bundle removes its terms while preserving manually added keywords. Accent normalization and word boundaries help technical terms match cleanly across English and French sources.
A command palette, keyboard navigation, quick filters, and matched-keyword highlighting support repeated triage. The original source remains reachable from the opportunity.
Review actions and outreach stages preserve the evidence that made a lead relevant in the first place.
Behind the interface
Direct APIs, HTTP parsing, Scrapling, and Playwright are selected according to the source. One normalized contract keeps that complexity out of the inbox.
Syntax, MX, SMTP, catch-all checks, and company-domain ranking reduce widget and tracking addresses in extracted contact data.
Separate worker limits for detail fetching and email extraction keep long-running scans responsive. Progress updates follow completed work rather than a decorative timer.
