Stop building products nobody wants.
Signal Hunt uses AI to scan vertical Reddit communities and extract 6 business signals—Pain, Willingness to Pay, Workarounds, and more—from massive conversations. We attach a traceable Evidence Pack so you can lock in your first paying users before you write a single line of code.
Pain → Method → Outcome
Replace vibes with a repeatable research workflow you can trust.
Pain
You read 200 threads, collect 20 screenshots, and still can’t tell if people would pay—or if you’re cherry‑picking.
You need proof, not anecdotes, before you invest months of build time.
Method
We cluster recurring pain into opportunities, extract a 6‑Signals Pack, and attach an Evidence Pack you can click through.
Every claim stays traceable to source links to reduce hallucinations.
Outcome
You get ranked options, concrete willingness‑to‑pay signals, and the fastest path to talk to real buyers.
Validate demand first. Build second.
Featured Opportunities
A curated set of real opportunity cards—signals and evidence included.
Adding notes on the fly from mobile is slow or cumbersome (Notion and Obsidian mobile feels heavy); users lose ideas before they can capture them and want an ultra‑fast 'post‑it' or lock‑screen capture.
"Is there a way to make adding notes in Obsidian as easy as Apple Notes makes it? ... Ideally a quick way to add a quick note ... even put it into a folder called Quick Notes."
view evidence on redditUsers use widgets, action‑button shortcuts, lightweight apps, or build automated pipelines (wearable recorder → transcription → create note). Plugins like Lumberjack, QuickAdd, and external apps like Google Keep, Markor or dedicated pipelines are common.
"With Obsidian 1.11 you can add a widget on your lock screen to instantly create a note. If you want to go even faster you could even bind a shortcut to your action button."
view evidence on redditPeople dump notes into Notion (or other tools) but the notes don't resurface when needed; capture-to-action flow is broken and bulky DB‑based note models make quick note capture and later recall difficult.
"I write everything down, but it rarely shows up at the right time."
view evidence on redditUsers split workflows: use Notion for projects/structured databases and other lighter apps (Apple Notes, Bear, Obsidian, Google Keep, Capacities) for ephemeral or quick notes; some automate resurfacing (random-note scripts or Notion AI agents).
"I use Apple Notes for quick capture; Notion is my personal project management foundation."
view evidence on redditTraditional keyword/tag search misses useful matches; users want apps that analyze content semantically and surface notes that 'match your work' (e.g., find poetic phrasing, similar ideas) across thousands of notes.
"But if the note taking app is smart enough to analyze my notes and say “hey this one matches your work in this field.” Then this whole pkms become useful."
view evidence on redditUsers try DEVONthink (Pro with AI), employ Smart Connections or similar plugins, or build local LLM/embedding pipelines to surface semantically similar notes.
"You could try conversational search with an LLM and Logseq with this: conversational-search-on-logseq-with-local-llms"
view evidence on redditHow It Works
From Reddit context to evidence‑backed opportunity cards—without changing your workflow.
Start from any Reddit page
Signal Hunt can run analysis across Reddit—without changing how you browse.
- Subreddits, search results, or custom feeds (any number of subreddits).
- No copy‑pasting threads into docs or spreadsheets.
Run a scan in minutes
Open the extension side panel, choose a time range, and start the scan.
- Fetches posts + comments from your current context.
- A semantic filter scores text and keeps only high‑signal intent.
Turn chaos into opportunities
We cluster recurring pain into opportunity cards, then extract a 6‑Signals Pack for each cluster.
- Persona, Pain, WTP, Resistance, Workaround, Desire.
- Every claim includes a traceable Evidence Pack.
Decide with proof
Review ranked cards, click evidence, and share a decision you can defend.
- Worth‑it Score helps you pick the best bets.
- Save reports in the web app to revisit later.
Why Signal Hunt
Built for founders who want proof—not vibes.
Evidence-backed
Every conclusion links to real Reddit posts. Click to verify the source yourself—no marketing speak, no filtered reviews.
6‑Business‑Signals framework
Persona, Pain, WTP, Resistance, Workaround, Desire—plus deduplicated clusters and a Worth‑it Score so you don’t read thousands of posts.
Devil’s advocate
Not just “why build this”, but also “why you maybe shouldn’t”. See counter‑examples and skepticism to avoid confirmation bias.
Search‑result analysis
Start from your target keywords and scenarios to aggregate scattered evidence faster—critical when you’re validating a specific idea.
Context‑aware scanning
Analyze multiple subreddits with no hard limit—wherever you are on Reddit, run one scan without copy‑pasting into a spreadsheet.
Continuous arbitrage engine
Don’t validate one idea—keep scanning weekly to catch new opportunities as they emerge. Works as a one‑off or a subscription habit.
Before vs After
Go from doomscrolling and doubt to a repeatable validation loop.
Before
Motion without proof—noise, anxiety, confirmation bias.
- Mindset
- “What if I’m building something nobody wants?”
- Workflow
- Read hundreds of threads → screenshots → a messy doc or spreadsheet.
- Output
- Anecdotes that feel like validation, but can’t be quantified.
- Decision
- No clear WTP, no recurring pattern, no counter‑examples—so you stall or pivot randomly.
- Social Proof
- Hard to convince a cofounder (or yourself) with scattered links.
After
Calm conviction—decisions you can defend with evidence.
- Mindset
- Confidence from proof—and permission to say “no” faster.
- Workflow
- Open the extension → pick a time range → scan the Reddit page you’re already on.
- Output
- Opportunity cards + a 6‑Signals Pack (Pain, Persona, WTP, Resistance, Workaround, Desire).
- Trust
- Every claim ships with a click‑through Evidence Pack to reduce hallucinations.
- Decision
- Worth‑it Score + devil’s advocate helps you pick fewer, better bets.
