Modules are organized by category:
user_scanner/
├── dev/ # Developer platforms (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
├── social/ # Social platforms (Twitter/X, Reddit, Instagram, etc.)
├── creator/ # Creator platforms (Hashnode, Dev.to, Medium, etc.)
├── community/ # Community platforms (forums, niche sites) (right now it's empty)
Module guidelines:
Each module must define a validate_<site>() function that takes a username and returns:
1 → Available 0 → Taken 2 → Error / Could not check
Use httpx for requests, colorama for colored output.
- Optional: modules can define a CLI parser if they support custom arguments.
