I've built things nobody wanted. So I built a tool to stop doing that.

I kept building things nobody wanted. So I built a keyword tool that matches demand to your actual skill set — not a marketer's

    Funny how building in a bubble can trick us into thinking we struck gold. I’ve found that pairing my own skills with what people are already searching for often saves me from chasing ghosts. Curious how you’re validating the demand signals your tool pulls up. Are you leaning on search volume alone, or mixing in feedback from folks actually trying to solve those problems?

    This is a good founder-pain angle because “keyword tool” by itself sounds crowded, but “matches demand to your actual skill set” is much sharper. The real promise is not keyword research. It is helping builders avoid wasting months on ideas they personally cannot execute or distribute well.

    I’d probably push the positioning away from generic SEO/keyword tooling and more toward founder-opportunity validation. Something like: “find demand you are actually equipped to build for.” That feels much more specific and useful than another keyword dashboard.

    One thing I’d watch is the Minepath.app name. It has a nice explorer feel, but the .app extension and “path” framing may keep it feeling like a small builder tool. If this becomes a serious demand-intelligence product for indie founders, Beryxa.com would give it a stronger SaaS/data-brand feel.
