You get startup ideas within minutes of signing up. IdeaMiner crawls Reddit, Hacker News, Product Hunt, and G2 Reviews—surfacing what people actually complain about. It's already analyzed over 50 million posts. That's led to discovering 12,000+ ideas.
Each idea gets scored across five dimensions: Demand, Urgency, Market Size, Monetization, and Competition Gap. You're not just seeing someone's vague frustration. Real quotes from actual posts come with each idea. Evidence of willingness to pay appears alongside market signals that indicate whether the problem matters. For indie hackers shipping products, this beats scrolling Twitter hoping to stumble on the next big thing.
IdeaMiner helps you validate and build (not just discover). Deep validation runs competitor analysis. It identifies your target audience. Technical feasibility gets assessed. Go-to-market strategy suggestions appear automatically. Launch simulation generates personalized success paths—risks mapped out in advance. You can even generate PRDs formatted for Lovable, Bolt, or v0 to start building immediately.
The token system might feel restrictive. Free users get 10 tokens to test everything. Paid plans start at $19/mo for 100 tokens (roughly 20 discoveries and 10 validations). There's also a $199 one-time Forever plan with 2,000 tokens that never expire. Tokens deplete fast if you're validating heavily—deep validation costs 10 tokens per idea.
Search agents continuously monitor for new opportunities and send alerts. You can export everything to CSV or JSON. IdeaMiner tracks trends automatically, so you're not manually bookmarking Reddit threads at 2am.
