PMFounder – Problem discovery for PMs who want to build

I'm a PM who was looking for a side project. Asked ChatGPT and Claude for ideas and got the usual: to-do list, habit tracker, budget planner. Fine for learning, but there's nothing there if everyone's building the same thing.

So I started reading Reddit and HN threads looking for people with real pain points. It worked, but I was spending hours a week just reading threads and not building anything.

After a few weeks, I built a scraper. Which evolved into a full extraction pipeline through Claude. The prompt took some time to get right but now it's pulling out the specific pain point, a target audience, a direct quote from the source, what people are doing instead, and a rough read on competition and effort.

One from this week: a backend engineer wrote "even with a decent CI/CD pipeline, the first 10-15 min after a production deploy are strangely manual." Small teams with no Datadog budget just watching dashboards by hand after every push. This gap has existed for a while but it's getting worse with AI increasing deploy frequency.

Happy to get into the extraction prompt design or pipeline architecture if that's interesting.
