Hey everyone, been building something I think a lot of you will find useful.

What is it?

NichePulse is a desktop app that finds high-demand PDF guide opportunities based on real search data. You type in a niche (e.g. "keto diet", "personal finance", "dog training") and it:

• Pulls trending queries from Google Trends
• Scrapes Google autocomplete suggestions across 7 question patterns (how to, why, best way to, etc.)
• Spits out 6–10 sellable PDF guide ideas ranked by demand score, each with a target audience and core problem it solves
• One more click → generates a full chapter-by-chapter outline with hook, subtitle, price point, and selling angle

Why does this matter for making money?

PDF guides / digital downloads are one of the easiest low-overhead products to sell on Etsy, Gumroad, or Payhit. The hard part is knowing what people actually want to pay for. NichePulse removes the guesswork. every idea is backed by real search demand, not gut feeling.

Current status: Working MVP, runs on Windows. Polishing the UI and adding more data sources.

Would love feedback! what niches would you test this on?
