Reddit-sourced scripts in 2 minutes, but competitors already solve creator's block.

Strengths
  • •Reddit engagement ranking filters noise — real audience signal vs. generic AI prompts.
  • •Multi-platform mining roadmap (Quora, YouTube, X) suggests scalable audience research.
  • •Solves a real creator pain: blank page paralysis with externally validated topics.
Weaknesses
  • •No evidence the generated scripts meaningfully outperform ChatGPT + Reddit browsing.
  • •Viral hook formats are commoditized; dozens of tools already wrap social data into scripts.

Post Description

I built this for myself.

I make videos, and my biggest bottleneck is figuring out what to say to my audience without staring at a blank page.

So I built Scriptmine: a tool that listens to Reddit conversations in my niche, finds high-signal topics, and turns them into scripts.

How it works: - Track subreddits and discussions relevant to a niche - Rank topics by engagement/momentum - Generate a hook/body/CTA draft in a chosen voice/format

Most Epic Discussions Across Time

You can scan decades of HN culture at a glance — the site lists 'epic' threads with sortable metrics (comments, points, linked/backlinked counts) and year filters, which makes recurring Ask HN threads and news spikes obvious. The UI is minimal and readable, but the product feels like an aggregator rather than analysis: show your grouping methodology, add CSV/JSON export or an API, and this would move from 'handy dashboard' to research tool.
