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.

App Hosting Upkeep

Small teams and solo operators struggle to host and maintain apps reliably without becoming full-time sysadmins or overpaying for managed services.

In their words

she's been paying them $400 a month for the last TEN YEARS to host her site

r/webdev on Reddit

I have been becoming more and more wary about having ANY ports open to the public Internet with AI bots constantly scanning these tools finding vulnerabilities at the speed of light

r/sysadmin on Reddit

deployments are fully self-hosted, which is great for power users but a massive friction point for getting anyone else onboard

r/devopsjobs on Reddit

My main concern is data recovery and not shutting the whole system down if something from the hardware breaks

r/sysadmin on Reddit

finding a simple support option with transparent pricing and US-based support hours has been a pain

r/Proxmox on Reddit

move everything over then six months later the performance is half what it was and the support starts taking three days to reply

r/VPS on Reddit

Every rupee I wanted to spend on Indian infrastructure had nowhere to go.

r/indianstartups on Reddit

Because I was using their hosted Supabase instance, I have zero access to my 12GB of proprietary data. It's hostage.

r/vibecoding on Reddit

Eu literalmente podia ter deletado toda infra deles a qualquer momento.

r/brdev on Reddit

I want to know what would be my best Solution for Self-Hosted solution that would require me NOT to purchase 50 licenses to be operationnal with my Users adding KBs and Procedures on our Infrastructure.

r/selfhosted on Reddit

Anyone else looking for Hetzner alternatives after the price increases?

r/VPS on Reddit

This is all I know, difficult and complex systems.

r/devops on Reddit

For us it's a middle ground between the build your own SaaS and paying $10ks. But in some instances we do still pay for the other company to own the on call.

I tried self-hosting it a couple of month ago and it was impossible. I spent the day on it but the setup process was broken

Small agencies and solo developers

Where they talk

  • r/Hosting
  • r/selfhosted
  • r/webdev
  • r/VPS
  • r/sysadmin
  • r/SaaS
  • r/devops
  • r/smallbusiness

Tools they use today

  • Vercel
  • Supabase
  • Cloudflare
  • cPanel
  • WordPress
  • Claude
  • Hetzner
  • Hostinger

Why those fall short

  • hosting company charges far more than the service is worth
  • no Indian infrastructure option exists to choose instead
  • hosted infra is the moat; export code means nothing when data lives on their servers
  • no sanctioned self-service hosting with governance and SSO
  • No handover or offboarding process; projects stay linked to personal accounts
