MonetScope

Hey 👋

Quick intro: I'm building MonetScope — an AI tool that reads Reddit, Hacker News, and X discussions to surface startup opportunities scored by commercial potential.

Why I'm building it

I've shipped too many apps nobody wanted. Every good idea in hindsight was already being complained about somewhere online — I just couldn't read hundreds of threads a week. MonetScope is the tool I wish I'd had three failed launches ago.

Where I'm at

• Core product is built (Next.js + .NET, Postgres, AI scoring pipeline)

• Currently in pre-launch, working on:

  • Getting the landing page messaging right

  • Figuring out initial pricing

  • Lining up the first 10 users for real feedback

What I'd love input on

1. If you've built a SaaS for founders/indie hackers before — what was the fastest way you got your first paying users?

2. For anyone who's tried to validate ideas from Reddit/HN manually — what did you wish someone had automated for you?

Happy to answer anything about the tech stack, the AI pipeline, or the decisions behind the product. Will be around in the comments 🙌
