About IdeaScout
We built IdeaScout because we were tired of building apps that nobody wanted. Every day, developers spend months on ideas that never find users. We wanted to change that.
The Problem We Solve
95% of apps fail because they solve problems that don't exist
❌ The Old Way
- • Build based on assumptions
- • Launch to crickets
- • Waste months of work
- • Wonder "what went wrong?"
✅ The IdeaScout Way
- • Start with real user requests
- • Build what people actually need
- • Launch to engaged audiences
- • Know you're solving real problems
Example Real Request
"I need a Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites during work hours. Something that automatically activates based on my calendar..."
How IdeaScout Works
From community requests to validated opportunities in three steps
1. Community Collection
Our crawlers scan Reddit, Hacker News, Dev.to, and GitHub 24/7 for real user requests and feature discussions.
2. Smart Ranking
Our algorithm ranks ideas by upvotes, comments, freshness, and platform credibility to surface the best opportunities.
3. Daily Delivery
Fresh Top 100 lists delivered twice daily, with optional AI analysis for deeper validation and implementation guidance.
Our Approach
Real-Time Discovery
We don't generate ideas with AI or make them up. Every idea comes from real people expressing real needs in developer communities.
Community Validation
Ideas are pre-validated by community engagement. High upvotes and comments indicate genuine interest and demand.
Smart AI Enhancement
AI analyzes ideas only when you need deeper insights - feasibility, market size, implementation strategies. You pay only for what you use.
