Someone analyzed 9,300+ posts asking for tools that don't exist YET

by

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.

Are you working on something that gets some kind of validation from this?
