Your dashboard, the Hub, is your central command for managing all of your lurks. Here’s how you can create, edit, pause, and remove them.
Creating a New Lurk
You can create a new lurk directly from your Hub.
- Use the "Deploy a Lurk" form prominently displayed on your dashboard.
- Select a platform (currently X/Twitter is available, with more coming soon).
- Enter the handle, keyword, or topic you want to monitor.
- Click the "Lurk" button. Your new lurk is now active and will begin gathering results.
For more detailed configurations, you can click the "Create a Lurk" button in the side panel to access the full form, where you can add multiple search terms, a description, and set the frequency.
Editing a Lurk
