I've been building a Solana token scanner on my own since the summer. Looking for honest feedback from other builders

Wait 5 sec.

Hey all, I've been building this on my own since the summer and I've reached the point where I can't see it clearly anymore, so I'm hoping a few people here will poke at it and tell me what's wrong with it. It's called Cabal Hunter. You paste a Solana token address and it reads the chain to show who actually holds it: wallets funded from the same source, who bought in the first few seconds of the launch, what the dev has launched before, and whether there's anything nasty in the token itself, like a transfer fee or a live freeze authority. The main view is a map of the holders rather than a table, because I found tables hard to read quickly. There's also a Telegram bot and a Chrome extension that do the same thing on the page you're trading on. The stack, for anyone curious: a Node/TypeScript server and a Python engine on one small AWS box, SQLite for everything, and Helius for most of the chain reads. The chain reads are the expensive part and I'm still learning how to keep them under control. What I'd really like opinions on: Open the map on any token. Does it make sense within 10 seconds, or does it need explaining? The homepage. Is it clear what the thing is, or is it trying to say too much? Is there anything you'd check on a token that it doesn't? Running all of this on one box with SQLite. At what point would you split it up? It's free for 250 scans a month with an email, or 5 without. Does that feel fair? No signup needed to look around: cabal-hunter.com/?ref=reddit-sideproject Happy to answer anything about how it works. Blunt is fine, that's what I'm after.
