How do you know that you're not about to waste months building something nobody wants?
This has probably been one of the hardest parts of building apps for me.
Coming up with an idea is easy but deciding if that idea deserves weeks, months or years of development is much harder which makes pain in the a\*\* if no one wants it.
I've been working on a small Android app around this problem. It searches for potential app ideas, helps validate your own ideas against audience/source signals, scores them and lets you keep a shortlist of the ones worth exploring.
The goal isn't really “AI gives you startup ideas.”
It's more like:
Don't start coding until you have some evidence that the problem is worth solving.
It's currently in the beta testing, and I'd love to put it in front of actual builders who would actually use it rather than generic beta testers.
If you build apps/SaaS:
What's the one thing you check before deciding an idea is worth building?
Happy to give beta access to anyone who genuinely wants to try the workflow.
