Hey HN!

I just wanted to share BigIdeasDB. We analyzed real user complaints from Reddit threads, G2 reviews, Upwork jobs, and app store feedback to find validated startup opportunities. Instead of guessing what to build, you get data on problems people are actively trying to solve.

Key features: => Reddit Pipeline - Monitor subreddits for problems and solutions in real-time => G2 Analysis - Find what users hate about existing software to spot opportunities => Upwork Analysis - Identify repetitive tasks that can be automated into products => App Store Analysis - Discover improvement opportunities from negative reviews to create a superior competitor => BuildHub - Plan and manage your entire product in one workspace => BuildGuide - AI cofounder walks you through 8 validation stages + much more!

We've indexed problems with evidence of demand. Each comes with pain point analysis, a solution to the problem, and links to the sources + more deeper analysis.

Built for founders by founders who want to skip the guesswork and build products people actually need.

i know a lot of people post similar things here every day, but let me explain what i'm doing differently.

i'm not just building another "list of launch platforms and startup directories". my main goal is to make it way easier to find marketing channels that actually work, from niche subreddits to Discord communities to newsletter sponsorships.

in other words i'm making a comprehensive database of all kinds of places to promote your products. i've already added over 1000 verified locations including:

- startup directories with domain ratings and submission requirements - reddit communities sorted by subscriber count and activity level - discord and slack communities with member counts - newsletter sponsorship opportunities with pricing info - places where you can run ads or get featured - specific subreddits that allow startup posts (with posting rules) - facebook groups and linkedin communities - telegram channels and twitter communities

what makes this different from other lists floating around: - includes domain rating for each directory so you know which ones have SEO value - shows estimated impact level (high/medium/low traffic) - all of them are free to post on - includes direct links to submission pages - constantly updated with new findings - a page that allows you to post YOUR startup for free easily.

the next step is adding more niche from suggestions, communities and automating some of the submission processes to save founders time.

this took me weeks to compile and verify. hoping it saves other founders the research time and helps you find channels you didn't know existed.

let me know what you think or if there are specific types of promotion channels you'd like me to add.

Hey everyone! I've been growing this application where I analyzed 50k negative app reviews from 5k+ mobile apps across 160 keywords to help uncover potential mobile app opportunities.

A few months ago, I came across this (now deleted) post about someone who worked at a hotel and noticed a flaw in the hotel's software. They ended up building a plugin to fix it... and made a nice side income from it. That got me thinking: How many other tiny or overlooked mobile app issues are lurking out there, waiting for a solution?

I wanted to help skip the guesswork so looking at negative reviews would highlight problems users would be having.

If a solution was prominent enough, these users would likely convert or at least download an alternative app to make their life easier. So what I did was I basically analyzed over 50k negative reviews across around 5000 mobile apps on the App Store and Play Store to find specific improvements that can be made on existing apps that can potentially be made into a competitor for existing mobile applications.

I used AI to analyze the negative reviews and find user problems and provide potential improvements to the existing apps as a competitor or even a better alternative.

We scraped apps from 160 keywords (e.g. period tracker, meal planner, sleep sounds, travel journal, photo enhancer, news digest, coupon finder) to find what users hate about existing mobile software, and what we did was we analyzed these negative reviews to find improvements users can do to make a mobile app competitor.

I separated by categories and by app and highlight app/software specific problems users were having as well as category specific problems.

If you're building (or improving) a mobile app, this database might save you a ton of guesswork and potentially give you the last app idea you will ever need.
