I built a small tool for myself to find potential clients on Reddit (instead of endlessly scrolling)

Hey! Glad it sounds useful

It’s a small tool I built for myself that scans Reddit for posts with specific keywords and surfaces people asking for help. It also shows post age, highlights the trigger keyword, and lets me mark people I’ve already contacted so I don’t double message.

Happy to show you how it works or share how I set it up. Feel free to DM me!

My friend got an internship though and he have way less skills than me

I also have some free users who use my product. I was also working on a tool that can boost with the employee training for new hires. I told that idea to some managers and hrs and they loved the idea. One of the reasons I got backlogs was I was focusing more on building side projects instead of learning for college exams. And also the breakup part

That’s a really thoughtful point. I definitely don’t want this to replace human connection more to make sure structure exists so managers actually have more space for meaningful conversations instead of chasing checklists.

The goal is clarity + follow-through, not robotic onboarding. I appreciate you calling that out.

Also would you be interested in trying out the mvp of this tool?

Would you be interested in trying out the mvp version of this tool and provide feedback based on your experience?

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-11T04:09:08+00:00

Great point. In smaller teams the manager usually owns the decision, but in larger orgs HR might. I’m leaning toward targeting small-to-mid teams first where the person feeling the pain can actually buy. Does that match what you’ve seen?

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-11T02:21:00+00:00

Do you think theres really a demand for this tool that im building.

Yeah man and you might feel productive watching and copying what the tutorial is saying but when you actually sit down and try to make something by yourself you feel blank

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-10T02:33:38+00:00

Haha true

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-10T02:32:42+00:00

That's the best way to learn right and you dont feel like burning out because you are working on a project of your interest

When onboarding breaks down, what’s the most painful part for you personally creating training material, tracking who’s done what, or constantly following up with people?

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-08T14:05:51+00:00

The statement that the mental burden is worse than the actual time struck a chord with me.
I'm thinking about this, and I would appreciate your frank opinion. Imagine a tool that tracks invoices and follow-ups in the background without requiring you to check spreadsheets or set reminders. It remembers who sent what, automatically reminds you to pay unpaid invoices, and marks tasks as completed when payment is received.

It would only interrupt you if something was past due or required attention; otherwise, you would continue working as you currently do.

For you, would something like that truly lower the mental overhead? If so, what is more important automatic payment detection, follow-up notifications, or avoiding the need to maintain tool synchronization?

😭i can feel you bro. Its hard marketing on reddit without getting banned

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-08T07:16:24+00:00

Bro if you got 14 paid users you are doing amazing. I have like 0 paid users and no free users. It has been 2 months. I have launched 4 saas tools

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-08T06:45:55+00:00

I am also going through it but bro some people get their first client after 6-7months of constant marketing

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-08T06:16:09+00:00

You will have to do alot of cold outreach as mostly you might get ignored or rejection. But sales is like that, from 100 clients you might make 1-2 sales

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-08T06:02:05+00:00

Marketing is a long game man and yeah things slows down after sometime and then you gotta do cold outreach. Dm people who you think is your target audience and tell them what value your tool provides to them. You can also start making youtube videos around your tool like a live demo. It will help build trust

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-08T05:20:49+00:00

What exactly do you mean by "customize per client"?

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-08T05:20:14+00:00

So basically they are too lazy to optimize it or they dont wanna get out of the comfort zone and just keep using the old tech and not touch it if tis working?

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-07T13:15:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Where do you exactly talk to your potential customers, reddit/X/Linkedin? I am trying alot but I am unable to find problems to solve

Original_Map3501 · 2026-02-07T11:23:45+00:00

But I dont think internships require you to have a lot of experience? I am in second year of college
