I scan 20+ subreddits every week for high-intent buy signals — the moments where someone says "is there a tool that...", "I'm paying $400/mo for...", "I wish there was...". You get 5 validated pains + SaaS solution sketches, Monday morning, with links back to the source thread.
Not hypotheticals. These are from last week's run — 3,129 posts scanned, 928 with pain signals, top 5 below.
Direct buy signals, not sentiment. I filter for language that precedes a purchase: looking for, paying $X, wish there was, alternative to, too expensive.
Ranked by composite intent score. pain_weight × log(upvotes+2) × log(comments+2). Viral rants with no gap drop out; niche threads with 15 upvotes + 200 comments rise.
Every pain comes with the SaaS you could ship for it. Not a generic "here's an idea" — a product name, pricing hypothesis, moat analysis, and the Reddit URL for evidence.
Indie hackers who keep building things nobody wants. Founders between ideas. Product people who want to hear from the market before the pitch deck. If you've ever burned three weekends on a product you didn't validate first — this is for you.
Get on the list, I email the first full report within 24 hours. If it's not useful you reply "nope" and I stop. Simple.
