I'm building a tool for gathering leads from Reddit in public

Hi indie hackers,

I've been lurking here for years until last year I decided to finally start my own SaaS product.

After some brainstorming, I decided to build a service on top of Reddit. Regarding features, enriching the Search with additional functionality sounds like a good idea to start with. But after reading tons of materials about building SaaS businesses I understand that I will never be able to reliably tell what my customers want by myself. The key here is to not over-engineer the prototype but to iterate faster and listen to the user's feedback. It was hard to stop when UI is still bad and the features are not quite there, and it's still full of bugs but hey, what if people don't need it at all? I won't be able to tell without asking, I had to stop when the core functionality was ready.

So here I am, presenting my very first project (the very first prototype to be exact :)).

Who is it for: If you sell anything online - this tool is for you.
What is it: Reddit research and marketing tool.
What it does: It finds you quality leads blazingly fast.

I'll use the power of the community and will ask for your feedback. If finding quality leads for your service or product from Reddit sounds like a good idea - help me to get that juicy feedback and shape the service so that it will be best at solving your problem!

To get access to the prototype all you need to do is to “register for the BETA” on the landing page and you will receive a login link (apologies for the roughness!)

Will be happy to hear feedback on the landing page as well! https://reachhero.io

In the next post, I'll share what kind of feedback we received.

    Hi Simon,
    This would be super useful for me, I've just signed up to the beta. Really like the concept of creating buckets and then adding subreddits to these. Being able to search through these subreddits for keywords is so useful and saves so much time for me! :D

    One feature request I have is to be able to save previous topic searches within the bucket. So if I search for "sales" in an eCommerce bucket, that previous search would be shown so that I can access it quickly again later. I would like to build up a list of topic searches that I can access again at a later point, if that makes sense.

    Overall, this is super useful, and wishing you the very best with ReachHero, it's a great product!
