H1B Lottery Results Aggregator

A dashboard that scrapes Reddit and other sources to aggregate real-time H1B visa lottery results and winner stories. Targets H1B visa applicants who are anxiously searching for results and want to see community outcomes in one place instead of scrolling endlessly through forums.

H1B lottery season creates a predictable annual spike in anxious applicants flooding Reddit's r/h1b and similar forums, and that concentrated, high-intent anxiety is exactly the kind of moment people pay to resolve faster — making timing straightforward. No clear incumbent exists; USCIS's own communication is notoriously opaque, and the current "solution" is manually scrolling through Reddit threads. The revenue band is honest but tight: monetization is likely limited to ads or a one-time premium alert feature, since the use case is intensely seasonal and users churn the moment they get their result. The biggest risk is that scraping Reddit becomes the entire technical moat, and Reddit's API pricing changes or access restrictions — which have already happened once — can kill the data pipeline overnight.
