Post Description

I’ve been building web and mobile apps for many years. They were created to solve problems I had personally faced, but none of them became huge.

After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that there were two primary reasons for that:

1. Marketing: getting it in front of people 2. Demand validation: are people searching for it?

And the combination has to be profitable.

After a lot of thinking, I used Google Ads data for advertising costs and search volume, and created an interactive model based on those inputs, along with your costs and revenue.

There is a walkthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE-VbQ7HDYA

And a real report here - No Login: https://ideas.trk7.app/shared/qS3PbOrrZo8oSeXZ7ef5m4KDyGiCOe...

Let me know what you think :)

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).

AI Strategy and Planning hub for solo founders

Filterable guides, a prompts library, and an AI tools directory are assembled around practical workflows like one‑page planning, 24‑hour idea validation, and automated market research — useful checklists for a one‑person startup. The site feels like someone distilled a founder's playbook into searchable templates and automations, but it doesn't show a clear technical differentiator or deep integrations that would push it above 'solid'.
