What it does

Most AI tools give every idea a 7/10. Litmus doesn't. Bad ideas score low — brutally honest, calibrated scoring with no grade inflation. Toggle between Plain English and Standard output. Confirm your idea before any credits are spent. And instead of one AI guessing, dedicated agents handle competitor research, market dynamics, pivot strategies, and the final verdict separately — then combine into one cohesive report.

Litmus runs AI agents that search the real web to validate your startup idea. Get a rated verdict, competitor map, market sizing, and brutal honest feedback — in minutes.

    I am working on this because I am always afraid of building things that people don't actually want. I let agents role-play analysis the idea, quote and debate with each other. Still working on the output quality, every feedback is priceless. Pls try it out!

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
