Not just trending threads — only posts where you can hear someone saying they would pay for a fix. Scattered comments about the same pain get merged, and every entry keeps its link.
We collect public questions, feature requests and help threads. They are more honest than surveys because nobody is polishing their problem.
Each card gets an opportunity score (0–100) from heat, buying signals, demand strength and freshness; scattered comments about the same pain are merged into one card.
Each entry pairs the original quote with a plain-language read, one buildable angle, and the incumbents we know of.
On scoring: demand strength (1–5) and the opportunity score (0–100) mix algorithmic signals with editorial judgement. Not business advice.
