Someone analyzed 9,300+ posts asking for tools that don't exist YET
u/HopefulBread5119 on Reddit dropped an analysis of 9,363 posts from the last 6 months asking for apps that don't exist yet. If you're thinking about building something, the trends are worth a look. Here are the key takeaways:
About 7% of requests (640+ posts) specifically asked for offline-first or privacy-focused tools.
High revenue potential + high volume for finance related apps. People are begging for better portfolio analytics.
698 requests for education/Self-Improvement with highest willingness to pay sentiment
r/ADHD users write the most detailed feature requests because existing tools fail their workflows.
Devs write long technical rants about missing features in Spark, AWS, or NetSuite. Solve these and you have a customer for life.
People are fed up with recipe sites bloated with ads and life stories. They want ultra-minimalist tools that just show ingredients.
Parents get very specific about tracking sleep, milestones, school schedules. Emotional, high-retention niche.
