Common questions
Where do these saas ideas come from?+
Every one starts as a complaint somebody actually wrote — on Reddit, Hacker News, an app store review, a software review site or a job post. We extract the specific friction, group near-identical complaints, and only then turn the cluster into an idea.
How are they ranked?+
By a weighted opportunity score across seven dimensions: pain severity, competition gap, market size, monetisation clarity, build feasibility, evidence strength and distribution ease. Evidence strength is measured from how many independent sources back the cluster, not estimated by a model.
Are these ideas already taken?+
Often something adjacent exists — that is normal and usually good, because it proves people pay. Each opportunity page names the real competitors we could identify and the specific gap their own users complain about.
