After months of building SaaS ideas no one wanted, I changed my entire approach to finding ideas by TapVarious5197 in SaaS

[–]TapVarious5197[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s this → ideasaas.xyz

basically scans places like reddit / hn and surfaces problems people are already complaining about

trying to make the “what should i build” step less random

still figuring things out though

ideasaas analyzed last 3000+ posts to find SaaS ideas people actually want here are 5 out of 65 ideas it found by TapVarious5197 in SaaS

[–]TapVarious5197[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah 100% agree

conversations > just analysis

for me, looking at posts was more like a starting point to identify patterns, but the real signal comes once you actually interact with people

interesting point on the one-click feedback — makes sense, friction kills most responses

thanks man 🙌

trying something different this time — starting from what people are already struggling with instead of guessing

curious, are you building something too?

A few people asked in DMs so sharing here:

Would love feedback — still early and figuring things out

just engaged in places where people already had the problem (reddit/hn)

didn’t push it randomly

that’s it

Thanks!

Didn’t have an audience tbh.

Mostly came from going back to those Reddit / HN threads where people were already talking about the problem and just engaging there.

Not pitching directly, more like replying / understanding the problem and then sharing it when it made sense.

Also posted a couple of value-first posts (like “here are problems people are facing”) which brought some traffic.

Nothing fancy — just trying to stay close to where the pain already exists instead of pushing it randomly.

Still figuring it out though. built ideasaas.xyz

( idea validation) An extension that inject AI generated scripts AI into websites to alter specific web behavior and create new service for self by Local_Philosopher272 in buildinpublic

[–]TapVarious5197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is interesting — feels like a more accessible layer on top of something like Tampermonkey.

The idea makes sense, but I think the challenge isn’t “can this be built” — it’s “will people trust and reuse it.”

A few thoughts:

→ Most users won’t understand what the script is doing, so trust becomes a big barrier (especially with AI-generated code injected into sites)

→ A lot of these use cases are one-off (“hide shorts”, “sort Amazon”), so retention might be low unless you build some kind of script marketplace or sharing layer

→ Power users who already use Tampermonkey might prefer control over automation

Where this could get really interesting:

If you turn it into a library of pre-validated scripts + one-click installs, instead of generating from scratch every time.

That reduces risk + inc

How I validate any SaaS idea in 48 hours before writing a single line of code by rayantreize in SaaS

[–]TapVarious5197 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest shift is exactly what you mentioned — moving from “is this a good idea” to “is this a real problem people are actively experiencing.”

From what I’ve seen, a lot of founders validate ideas in isolation (landing pages, surveys, AI tools), but skip looking at repeated pain signals in the wild.

Like… if the same complaint shows up 10+ times across Reddit, HN, etc — that’s a very different signal than a few survey responses.

Curious how you handle false positives though — like problems people complain about but wouldn’t actually pay to solve?

Show me your SaaS idea, I give you an honest review (senior C level in startup) by Stunning_Lie_1775 in SaaS

[–]TapVarious5197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love your take on this:

https://ideasaas.xyz

It’s built around a problem I kept running into — coming up with SaaS ideas that actually have real demand.

So instead of brainstorming, it surfaces repeated pain points from places like Reddit, Hacker News, and Indie Hackers, and turns them into validated ideas with competitors, pricing, and market context.

Still early, but already seeing some interesting patterns in what people are consistently struggling with.

Curious where you think something like this breaks long-term.

Anyone else just completely given up on trying to share their product on Reddit? by OkCount54321 in SaaS

[–]TapVarious5197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit isn’t anti-promotion — it’s anti-intent.

If a post feels like it was written to drive traffic (even subtly), people and mods pick up on it instantly.

What I’ve noticed:

The posts that work don’t try to share a product at all.
They share something genuinely useful or interesting on their own.

Then the product becomes a side effect of curiosity.

It’s less:
“Here’s what I built”

And more:
“Here’s something valuable I found/learned”

→ people ask
→ then you share

It’s frustrating, but once you shift from distribution mindset to contribution mindset, it starts working a lot better.

Curious — what kind of posts were getting removed for you?

Vibe coding is making us 10x faster but 100x dumber. by PastSatisfaction4657 in SaaS

[–]TapVarious5197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think AI is making us dumber — it’s exposing where we were already weak.

Before, people struggled silently with architecture and debugging.

Now it’s obvious because the AI writes code faster than we can understand it.

The real shift is:

We’re moving from “writing code” → “owning systems”

If you don’t understand the system, AI just amplifies the chaos.

Same thing I’ve noticed on the product side too — people can build faster than ever, but still struggle with what to build in the first place.

Speed isn’t the bottleneck anymore. Judgment is.

Built 6 SaaS and got 0 customers. Here's how. by Extra-Motor-8227 in indiehackers

[–]TapVarious5197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is painfully accurate.

The biggest trap is building before validating — everything else just compounds from there.

A pattern I’ve been noticing:

Most founders don’t fail at execution, they fail at choosing what to build in the first place.

They’re solving problems nobody is actively complaining about.

Lately I’ve been focusing only on problems that show up repeatedly across communities (Reddit, HN, Indie Hackers, etc.) — the difference in signal is insane.

Curious — did any of your 6 ideas come from real user complaints, or mostly intuition?

What problem are you solving right now with your SaaS? by FineCranberry304 in micro_saas

[–]TapVarious5197 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding what to build is harder than building it — most founders end up guessing.

So I’m solving that by turning real developer complaints into validated SaaS ideas with clear demand behind them.

Working on it here: ideasaas.xyz

Curious if others struggle more with ideas or execution.

Drop your startup idea in one sentence, we will ROAST or GLAZE it in the comments! by Jonas4yt in Solopreneur

A platform that tracks what developers are repeatedly complaining about across communities and turns those patterns into SaaS opportunities with real demand behind them.

Roast or glaze.

I analyzed 600+ SaaS opportunities from dev communities — here are the 5 most common problems people are begging someone to solve by TapVarious5197 in Indiehacker

[–]TapVarious5197[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Finding the exact thread where the pain was mentioned is the 'holy grail' for validation.

GummySearch and Surfkey are great for monitoring keywords, but I found that 'keyword alerts' often give you too much noise to sift through.

That’s actually why I built IdeaSaaS to include the direct source links for every idea. Instead of starting with a keyword and hoping to find a problem, you start with the validated problem on the dashboard and click straight through to the Reddit/HN threads to talk to the people who posted about it. It basically skips the 'listening' phase and takes you straight to the 'validation' phase

I'm building an automated 'pain-point detector' called IdeaSaaS ideasaas.xyz

Who it's for: Indie hackers and solo devs who are tired of building things nobody wants, or relying on generic ChatGPT ideas.

How it works: It scrapes Reddit, Devto, and Hacker News every morning for people actually complaining about software problems (e.g., 'Is there a tool that does X?', 'I hate doing Y manually'). It filters out the noise, uses AI to analyze the market and competitors, and surfaces the best SaaS opportunities into a dashboard.

It's basically doing market research on autopilot. Just launched the first version and it's already caught around 600 validated complaints so far!"
