The Take

Type a problem and the site pulls live discussion snippets (with relevance signals) from places like Reddit so you can see how people actually phrase complaints. The UI makes scanning quick — cards show context, subreddit and comment counts — but it's essentially a focused search + surfacing layer; interesting and immediately useful, but not a deep analytics play yet (no clustering, source transparency, or deduping shown).

Post Description

While working on new startup ideas, I realized I was often assuming problems existed without actually seeing how people described them in the wild.

So I built a small tool that lets you describe a startup idea and then surfaces real conversations where people discuss that problem.

It’s meant to help with early problem discovery before building an MVP.

Faster access to real signals. Feedback is highly welcome, as brutal as it can be.
