Your idea deserves more than a notes app

Most people with an idea open Notion or the notes app on their phone. They write it down. Then nothing happens.

Not because the idea was bad. Because there was nowhere to take it next.

Ignyte is that next place.

Validate your idea with AI. Build your pitch deck. Track your traction. Practice with an AI VC before the real meeting.

And when you need real humans — there's a community of builders, founders and investors inside. Post updates, ask questions, get connections.

Not just a tool. A place where your idea gets serious.

I got tired of guessing what to build — so I built Pain Radar

A few months ago I realized the hardest part of building solo wasn't lack of ideas.

It was knowing which ideas were real.

Every "AI startup idea generator" I tried gave me plausible-sounding ideas with fake source links. Made-up "users" who don't exist. Fabricated Reddit threads. Vendor blog posts being cited as proof of demand.

I wasn't validating anything. I was just generating slop.

So I built something different.

Pain Radar pulls real founder problems from Hacker News, GitHub Issues, Stack Exchange, and Lobsters. Every idea links back to the actual person describing the problem in their own words. The AI doesn't generate ideas — it clusters real human posts retrieved from official platform APIs. Every source is clickable and verifiable.

Last week it surfaced a card about helping computing instructors integrate AI into their curricula. The source was a real Hacker News post from a University of Illinois CS professor describing exactly that pain, in his own words, written a week earlier.

That's the point. No fabricated evidence. No AI hallucination. Just real people whose problems you could literally cold-email tomorrow.

What's the hardest part of validation for you right now — finding real users to talk to, or knowing if the idea is even worth pursuing?

I built an AI VC that told me "Hi? That's your pitch? You're wasting my time." — free to try

Hey r/SideProject 👋

Built something for founders

who want to stop freezing in

investor meetings.

It's called Ignyte. The main

feature is an investor simulator

where AI plays a real VC partner

and grills your pitch hard.

Here's what happened when

I tested it on myself:

Me: "Hi"

AI: "Hi? That's your pitch?

You're wasting my time. What

problem are you solving and

for whom? Be precise."

Me: "My name is Mark"

AI: "I don't care about your name.

What tangible value do you bring?"

After 8 rounds of brutal questions

I finally had answers that

didn't fall apart.

Practice until you don't freeze.

Also includes:

→ Pitch deck generator (10 slides)

→ Idea scoring (0-100)

→ Traction tracker + AI insights

→ Co-founder matching

→ AI business advisor
