Reddit Problem Tracker & SaaS Idea Database

Finding real, validated product ideas is hard. A tool that automatically monitors Reddit and HN for recurring user pain points, scores them by frequency and severity, and catalogs them would help founders discover validated problems worth solving.

With AI-powered scraping and classification now cheap enough for a solo developer to run at scale, the timing for systematic pain-point extraction from Reddit and HN is reasonable — the underlying infrastructure cost that would have made this marginal two years ago has dropped significantly. No clear incumbent owns this specific niche, though Exploding Topics and tools like GummySearch touch adjacent territory without fully solving the cataloging-and-scoring problem. The $500–3k/mo revenue band is honest: this is a research utility that founders use occasionally, not a workflow tool they depend on daily, so conversion and retention will both be structurally limited. The biggest risk is that the output is interesting but not actionable enough to justify a subscription — browsing validated problems is a fun distraction, and most users will churn once the novelty wears off rather than convert into paying, retained customers.
