Problem Miner helps founders stop guessing what to build. It scans real online conversations where people complain or get stuck and turns that raw frustration into clean, builder-ready problem briefs. Instead of one-off ideas, you see repeatable pain patterns with context, severity, and willingness-to-pay signals. Pro users can run the pipeline on specific subreddits using Listening Channels. Built for indie hackers and product builders who want evidence before shipping.
I built Problem Miner after getting tired of staring at blank docs trying to “come up with ideas.”
Every time I talked to other founders, the best ideas didn’t come from brainstorming !!! they came from real complaints buried in forums, Reddit threads, and comment sections. The problem was: finding patterns, not just one-off posts.
So I built a small system that:
• watches real conversations where people complain or struggle
• extracts the actual problems
• clusters repeated pain into clean, builder-ready briefs
Over time it evolved from a personal tool into something I now use daily .. and share publicly via the weekly digest. Recently I added Listening Channels, so Pro users can run the pipeline on specific subreddits they care about.
This launch is mostly about learning:
• Is this useful early in the idea stage?
• Do builders prefer raw feeds or curated briefs?
• What would make this unmissable for you?
Would love your feedback !!! especially how you currently validate ideas before building 🙏
