Idea validation using real problem discussions

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).
