Idea Harvester

I’m excited to share something I’ve been working on to solve a problem I kept running into as a founder: finding real problems worth solving.

The Problem:

So many of us want to build products people actually need, but it’s tough to cut through the noise and find genuine pain points. I found myself endlessly scrolling Reddit, seeing people vent about issues, but there was no easy way to collect, organize, or analyze these insights. Most idea tools just surface trends or generic data, not the raw, unfiltered problems people are talking about every day.

The Solution:

I built Idea Harvester to bridge that gap. It’s a SaaS tool that helps you discover, analyze, and validate business ideas by tapping directly into Reddit conversations. Instead of guessing what to build, you can now see what real users are struggling with—organized and analyzed for you.

Key Features:

• Reddit Search & Discovery: Target specific Subreddits and keywords to find posts where people are discussing their problems.

• Filter all the Reddit noise.

• AI-Powered Analysis: Automatically extracts pain points and even suggests potential solution ideas from Reddit threads.

• Audience Management: Define and save your target audiences so you can focus your research on the communities that matter to you.

• Save & Organize Posts: Bookmark interesting posts, revisit them anytime.

• PRD Generation: With one click, turn your curated ideas and insights into a structured, ready-to-use Product Requirements Document—perfect for planning, sharing with collaborators, or kicking off development.

• Dashboard Overview: See your recent searches, saved ideas, and key stats at a glance.

• Topic & Service Type Categorization: Instantly filter and sort ideas by topic (e.g., Pet Care, Photography) or service type (e.g., Mobile App, Data Analytics).

• Export & Share: Export your findings for further analysis or to share with collaborators.

• Modern, Responsive UI: Built with Next.js, Tailwind, and shadcn/ui for a clean, fast experience on any device.

Why I’m Excited:

I’m most proud of how we achieved to pull out actionable insights from messy, conversational Reddit posts.

Free During Beta:

I want to get this in the hands of as many builders as possible, so it’s completely free while in beta. Your feedback will help shape the future of the product!

Would love to hear:

• How do you currently find and validate new product ideas?

• What features would make this even more useful for your workflow?

• Any other data sources you wish you could tap into?

If you’re tired of guessing what to build next, give Idea Harvester a try!

Happy to answer any questions or dive into the tech stack if you’re curious. Let’s build things people actually want!
