Hi HN,I’m a solo founder. I built ProblemHunt after noticing a common pattern: many founders start with ideas and solutions, but don’t spend enough time understanding real problems.ProblemHunt is a simple place where people share problems they actually face in work or life. Developers and founders can browse these problems and use them as a starting point for building products.So far: – ~5,000 users – 150+ real problems submitted – 100% organic growthThis is still early, and I’m trying to understand if this is genuinely useful.I’d really appreciate feedback: – Would you use something like this? – What feels unnecessary or confusing? – What would make it more valuable?Link: https://problemhunt.pro
