Comments

Hey everyone! I built PainBase because I was tired of the classic indie hacker trap: spending months building something in secret, only to launch to silence. I wanted a way to know people actually needed a solution before writing a single line of code. So PainBase scans real public complaints on Reddit, Hacker News, Dev.to and other communities in real time, scores how painful and underserved each problem is, and even helps you spin up a landing page to test the idea fast. Would love your feedback on the demand-scoring approach, and happy to answer any questions about how it works under the hood!
