Reddit-only intent radar for solo B2B founders
A tool that monitors Reddit for intent-based (not just keyword) mentions of a founder's problem space and surfaces high-quality threads worth replying to.
Turn this into a build spec
One Universal Core, then the exact file layout your platform expects — CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, a Lovable knowledge base, a Bolt prompt under its 400-word ceiling. Evidence travels with it.
32 credits · every platform format after it is 5
Reading an open idea needs nothing. Generating a spec from it calls a model and costs real money, so it needs an account and credits — the cost is shown before you spend anything.

Supporting evidence3
At least 8 separate Product Hunt launches in the last three months target this exact pain point, showing sustained founder demand for a lead-finding tool on Reddit/social.
Multiple signals independently call out that keyword-based alerts fail because people describe problems in non-obvious language, pointing to a specific technical gap (semantic/intent matching) rather than just aggregation.
Momentum is accelerating (9 signals in 90d vs 1 in 30d) with high freshness, suggesting this is a live, current wave of founder pain rather than a stale complaint.
Falsifying evidence4
The underlying capability (semantic search + LLM drafting over Reddit/social data) is easily replicated and could be shipped as a feature by any CRM, sales-engagement, or social-listening incumbent with existing distribution.
No product or revenue data exists in this cluster at all -- every signal is a launch-day pain statement, not a usage or payment metric, so we cannot tell if any buyer converts past a free trial.
Every signal is a Product Hunt launch describing nearly the same tool (Reddit/social intent-finder for founders); this is already a crowded micro-niche with many free/cheap entrants, and no revenue or retention data confirms any of them are sustaining a business.
Reddit's own anti-spam and API-access policies are a direct threat to any tool whose core workflow is automated discovery-and-reply on Reddit, since users already report risk of being flagged as spam doing this manually.
Most likely cause of death
The founder ships a competent semantic-search-plus-reply-drafting tool for Reddit, but discovers it is the tenth nearly identical Product Hunt launch in the space, undifferentiated on intent-matching quality, and either Reddit tightens API/bot-detection policy against automated reply workflows or a sales-engagement incumbent bundles the same feature for free. Defensibility would need to come from a genuinely better intent-classification model or a narrow vertical focus (e.g. one platform, one buyer persona) that the crowd of PH clones hasn't nailed, plus evidence of paid retention beyond launch-week upvotes.
Demand ladder
A complaint is not a customer. Weighted ×1 / ×3 / ×8 / ×15.
Counted from clustered complaint signals. No candidate-relative commercial check was applied, so no revenue is attributed to this idea.
Verified revenue: not established for this idea. No record ties a revenue figure to a product selling what this would sell.
Momentum
Is this problem getting louder or quieter?
Saturation
How many people are already on it. Most sites hide this.
Problem evidence
Who feels this, how often, and why what they use today does not fix it.
