Classic mistake you kept making:

building first, validating later.

Spending weeks on something only to find out nobody was urgently looking for it.

The demand was usually there all along sitting in Reddit threads, HackerNews or even Youtube comments! "is there a tool that does X?" or comments complaining about a workflow blocker.

Just scattered and noisy.

So I built GritGlean and launched on Product Hunt!

It monitors communities across X, Reddit, YouTube, HackerNews, Quora for recurring pain signals replacement intent, urgency language, budget mentions, specific workflow frustrations and turns them into structured idea briefs with a pain statement, demand score, and source links.

The goal isn't to hand you a finished idea.

It's to give you a grounded starting point so when you talk to your first potential customers, you already know what they've been complaining about publicly.

Feedbacks would be helpful, we do have a free tier too.

Finding real ideas or pain points keeps getting difficult.

Most people want something grounded in actual behavior, like what are people repeatedly complaining about, asking for, or trying to hack together with workarounds, right?

So I built GritGlean [ gritglean.aibucket.org ]

It monitors public communities for recurring pain signals (urgency language, replacement intent, budget mentions and many more) and turns them into structured idea briefs with demand briefing and validation.

It's not just scraping trending topics.

The focus is on the signal quality (problems that show up repeatedly across multiple communities, not one-off complaints)

We have a daily digest of ideas everyday.

Would love feedback from anyone who's gone through the what do I build next loop a few times.

It's also available for free for you to try and then you can decide if it's worth paying.

Happy to answer questions about how the research process works.
