Tool dedicated to entrepreneurs that helps find and rank real pain points from niche communities.
by•
I’m working on a tool that scans communities like Reddit, Linkedin, Quora, Twitter, Indie Hackers, Hacker News, etc., to uncover real user complaints, frustrations, and unmet needs.
The goal is to find validated opportunities straight from the source, without hours of manual research.
How it works (MVP idea):
You pick a niche (e.g., B2B SaaS, creators, ecommerce, software)
It scrapes real posts/comments from communities in that niche
Summarizes the actual pain points people complain about
You get a ranked list of problems presented by different filters
Would this be useful to you?
What’s the biggest reason you would or wouldn’t use it?
What is your ideal view of a product like this?

Useful for surfacing stated pain points — but there's a layer underneath this that the tool can't reach.
What people complain about in communities is real. But complaint volume doesn't predict adoption. The gap between 'this is a problem' and 'I will change my behavior to fix it' is where most ideas built on community research still fail.
Your tool answers: what do people say they need?
The harder question is: will they actually adopt a solution when it exists?
Those two tools used together would be genuinely powerful — yours for problem discovery, behavioral simulation for adoption prediction. Right now most founders only run the first step.
