Pain Radar.
Friction, indexed.
Pain Radar reads real complaints from Reddit and product forums, clusters and scores them into validated pain cards. Collect the ones that rhyme, and it turns them into a concrete plugin idea for the marketplace they came from.
For indie hackers and marketplace-app builders hunting the next plugin worth building.
Collect pains, get a plugin idea
Pain cards are the raw material, not the product. The product is what they add up to.
Hit Collect on pains that describe the same problem for the same user. They land in one collection — your working set for a single plugin idea.
Open the collection and generate the idea: the wedge, the persona, the competitor gap, a pricing angle and a build brief — grounded in the exact complaints you collected.
Brought your own idea? Validate it against the corpus and see which real pains support it — and which only look like they do.
Four signals, one card
Every pain card distills a cluster of real complaints into a single scored signal. See the full methodology →
One number (0–1): does this pain deserve someone's attention? Weighted product of four signals.
Learn more →Whether people voiced willingness to pay — the strongest signal that a pain is a market.
Learn more →How many separate complaints merged into one card. Bigger cluster = louder, more validated pain.
