What it does
Problem Miner helps founders stop guessing what to build. It scans real online conversations where people complain or get stuck and turns that raw frustration into clean, builder-ready problem briefs. Instead of one-off ideas, you see repeatable pain patterns with context, severity, and willingness-to-pay signals. Pro users can run the pipeline on specific subreddits using Listening Channels. Built for indie hackers and product builders who want evidence before shipping.
Stop guessing what to build. We mine Reddit & the web for frustrations people actually face and send you 5 real problems every week.

ProblemHunt2025 · problemhunt.pro · ▲552Hi HN, I’m a solo founder. I built ProblemHunt after noticing a common pattern: many founders start with ideas and solutions, but don’t spend enough time understanding real problems. ProblemHunt is a simple place where people share problems they actually face in work or life. Developers and founders can browse these problems and use them as a starting point for building products.

I’d really appreciate feedback: – Would you use something…

Backlog – a public repository of real work problemsDec 2025 · worldsbacklog.com · ▲112AI has made building fast and cheap, but finding the right problems still feels hard. I built World’s Backlog (https://worldsbacklog.com ) to collect real problems directly from people working inside different industries. Contributors post workflow pain, others validate it, and builders can study severity, frequency, and willingness to pay before building anything. Would love feedback from builders and people who feel real pain at work.

http://repp.herokuapp.com Originally, my partner and I built this app internally (just in the past few days) to find trends and commonalities in our customer development process in the commercial real estate industry. However, as we kept getting responses about pain points in these professionals' lives, we decided that this information would be really useful to any entrepreneur looking for problems to solve. Right now the web app is super basic with no login or authentication. It's like a basic notepad. Ultimately the question is, do you find this sort of information useful? If not, what…

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
