Description
UnfollowMonkey watches your X followers and sends you a DM when someone unfollows you, with their name and how long they'd followed you. It also tells you when a follower got suspended or deleted their account, so you know a drop in your count wasn't personal. The dashboard keeps every alert, a follower history chart, and who doesn't follow you back. Sign in with X, no password, and it never posts as you. Free for accounts under 2,000 followers; paid plans check daily or every 5 minutes.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and notification logic are simple, but X (Twitter) API pricing and severe rate limits make tracking follower diffs and sending automated DMs cost-prohibitive and technically restricted.
What it would actually take: Building this requires enterprise or developer X API access (which costs hundreds to thousands per month) or a resilient distributed web scraping pipeline that evades aggressive anti-bot detection. The system needs periodic background worker jobs (Celery/BullMQ) to fetch follower snapshots, compute set differences, and trigger direct messages via official or emulated endpoints.
