Product Updates

Five weeks since v0.2.0. The pipeline grew from 145 to 200+ open sources. Brief scope got tightened after Middle East noise started creeping in. Feed got rebuilt with cursor pagination and timezone-aware timestamps. Social pipeline rewired to attach images natively across all four channels. Cron infrastructure now self-monitors.

What's new

• 200+ open sources across 3 languages, ingested every 30 minutes

• Feed rebuilt: cursor pagination, infinite scroll, date dividers, daily brief card inline at 05:00 UTC

• Timezone setting in /settings. All dashboard timestamps respect your local time now

• Source classification with reliability badges, visible everywhere events appear

• Brief scope locked strictly to Russia-Ukraine. No more Middle East or Iran content slipping through

Under the hood

• Pre-ingestion filter chain v2.1 (keyword filter plus source-specific classifier). Drops scope-irrelevant content before it hits the analyzer, keeping costs predictable

• Cron heartbeat infrastructure. Every cron run logs itself. Watchdog alerts when expected runs don't happen

• Social image attachment architecturally rewired. Native uploads to Twitter, Bluesky, Telegram, Discord instead of relying on OG previews

• Admin dashboard now has unified Sources tab showing every source with live health status

• Welcome email reliability fix. New users now consistently get the welcome message

• Supabase upgraded to Pro tier for compute headroom after a May 9 capacity incident

Why it matters

200+ sources isn't bragging rights. It's the floor where contradiction detection starts to actually work. With three or four sources on a single event, you can spot when Russian milbloggers and Western agencies disagree on facts, not framing. Below that, you're mostly looking at echoes.

The scope lock matters more than the count. A brief that quietly drifts into Iran or Gaza loses the reader fast. Defense in depth (classifier and generator both enforce RU-UA only) means the brief stays the brief.

Major pipeline expansion week. The intelligence pipeline grew from ~35 to 145+ open sources, with new metrics display, click-through to original sources, and infrastructure improvements throughout the brief generator.

What's new

— 145+ open sources now monitored across the pipeline

— 100+ Telegram channels added across three languages — including Russian milbloggers (6 channels spanning Kremlin-aligned and independent operators), Ukrainian military and combat correspondents (4 channels covering strategic communications and frontline journalism), Ukrainian media (4 mainstream outlets), and Russian independent voices (1 exile-affiliated channel).

— 45+ RSS feeds expanded with Western defense and policy outlets

— Hybrid pipeline metrics in brief footer — shows both pipeline configuration (145+) and active sources this week (real count from the last 7 days)

— Click any event in the live feed to open its original source in a new tab

— Daily brief continues to ship at 05:00 UTC with executive summary, key developments, narrative shifts, and signals to watch

Under the hood

— Postgres RPC function for accurate active sources counting

— Counter logic now correctly combines event sources with distinct Telegram channels (previous version undercounted by excluding Telegram entirely)

— Display logic updated across brief footer, OG image, and all social posts

— Build pipeline hardened with deployment checklists and pre-deploy audits

— Critical payment regression caught and fixed during pre-deploy review

Why it matters

More sources means fewer blind spots and stronger cross-language framing analysis. The metrics display change is something we're particularly happy with — most platforms either overstate ("145+ sources!") or hide details ("X events processed today"). Showing both pipeline size and active-this-week count is the honest middle ground.

OSNT.IN beta is live. The first release ships the core promise — structured daily intelligence on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, generated from open sources, delivered every morning at 05:00 UTC.

What's in this release

— Daily intelligence brief generated automatically every morning

— Multi-source ingestion: ~35 sources across Telegram channels, RSS feeds, conflict event databases (GDELT), satellite thermal data (NASA FIRMS), and sanctions tracking (OpenSanctions)

— Cross-language coverage across Western, Russian, and Ukrainian media

— Source classification system with reliability badges

— Live event feed with severity filtering

— Public brief sharing via /brief/[date] URLs with auto-generated OG images

— Daily auto-posting to Twitter, Bluesky, Telegram, and Discord at 05:00 UTC

— Pro tier ($29/month) with 7-day free trial

— Crypto payment support (USDT TRC-20)

Why it matters

Most people monitoring this conflict spend hours scrolling Telegram and news sites trying to piece together what actually happened. OSNT.IN compresses that into a single morning read, with sources attributed and credibility tagged.

This is beta, which means: the product works, you get real value daily, but expect rapid iteration as we expand the pipeline and add depth features in the coming weeks.
