I wanted to find a product idea to build. "Build things people want," right? So I thought, why not literally find people saying what they want?I wrote a script to collect thousands of Reddit posts where people are looking for a solution or complaining about a problem. Then I used GPT to filter out the noise and score each one based on how viable the idea seemed. Threw together a simple search interface so anyone can explore them.I was planning to build a more advanced paid version of this, but figured I'd share the raw version first to see if it's actually useful to anyone.
