Launch week: every idea card is free.Get Pro

SaaS ideas, mined from what people actually complain about.

Every idea comes from real Reddit posts, was researched against today's competitors, and survived an independent skeptic before it made the list.

AI Diagram Generation Fails

People struggle to produce clean, accurate, maintainable diagrams from text, data, or AI tools without heavy manual rework.

In their words

my painpoints with icepanel is actually what inspired me to build this. I used it heavily for a year C4 model started feeling too restrictive.

the information inside the image is sometimes incorrect

r/GeminiAI on Reddit

I don't make charts every month but when I do this would be really helpful.

r/indesign on Reddit

It could not distinguish between BWRs, PWRs, fast reactors, CANDUs, etc. It always churned out nonsensical slop.

r/antiai on Reddit

Got the task to do some "simple" bugfixes on a state machine with roughly 6000 states. Original software engineer left the team and left badly documented mess behind.

r/embedded on Reddit

on larger projects with 20–30 wells, it becomes incredibly time-consuming

r/excel on Reddit

if I can't: add these diagrams into emails, markdown/word/pdf documents, or confluence, or process them with scripting, the tool is pretty much useless to me

r/softwarearchitecture on Reddit

once it goes into Miro, it's very difficult for us to adjust that flowchart or a mood board

r/paperdesign on Reddit

our current setup in Jira plus spreadsheets is just painful to look at

r/agile on Reddit

the charts fell apart on import so we rebuilt them by hand

r/canva on Reddit

One change happens and then I need to go through all diagrams to ensure they're all updated.

r/EnterpriseArchitect on Reddit

What I want from AI is a rough first draft. Give me a structure, put things where they make sense, then let me fix the wording and charts myself.

r/SaaS on Reddit

At work, I have to maintain legacy systems, and that’s taught me that the best way to understand something you’re unfamiliar with is to use diagrams.

It became so insanely expensive my work started making us apply for 3 month licenses until we gave up and found something else.

Where they talk

  • r/softwarearchitecture
  • r/excel
  • r/vibecoding
  • r/sysadmin
  • r/EnterpriseArchitect
  • r/UXDesign
  • r/AdobeIllustrator
  • r/ObsidianMD

Tools they use today

  • Mermaid
  • Canva
  • Claude
  • Excel
  • PowerPoint
  • Visio
  • draw.io
  • Notion

Why those fall short

  • cannot distinguish reactor types, produces nonsensical output
  • expensive or overkill; open source abandoned; demos fall apart on real artifacts
  • diagrams need extensive manual rework
  • Canvas is not seamless; graph view shows names, not images
  • no way to show the graph or reasoning steps
