Hey HN,
Sitebulb is a desktop crawler for Windows and Mac, specifically designed for SEO consultants/agencies. Me and my business partner have been building it for the last 2 years or so, and we're finally launching it today.
It's main differentiating factors:
1. Scale – it can comfortably crawl 500,000+ page websites despite being a desktop program.
2. Reporting – it does a lot of data manipulation and processing so you don't have to.
3. Visualization – it has tons of useful graphs, including the Crawl Maps, which help you visualise site structure.
Our aim was to give it the reporting capability of a SaaS crawler, with the convenience of a desktop crawler.
Looking forward to hearing your feedback on our new product. Thanks, HN community!
