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.

Brittle E2E Test Maintenance

End-to-end tests break constantly due to brittle selectors and UI changes, forcing costly manual maintenance and eroding trust in automation.

In their words

maybe we shouldn't rewrite a mature suite solely because maintaining selectors sucks

r/Playwright on Reddit

intelligent and consistently named screenshots would be ideal now for a speedy process and easy import into x-ray and jira

r/QualityAssurance on Reddit

this is the hardest problem when you can't add your own test IDs

r/Playwright on Reddit

That class does not need a human and used to eat whole evenings.

r/IndieDev on Reddit

Ich bräuchte jemanden der tests schreibt um meine beweiskette zu härten . Hab ich da überhaupt ne Chance?

r/AskVibecoders on Reddit

We have also seen that this issue should have been caught by our unit tests but we have mocked everything so the case in question never got flagged.

r/webdev on Reddit

So we manually test things on the browser, and write Excel documents for test cases, and take screenshots of every result from a test case. Tiring and painful.

r/webdev on Reddit

My app has just gotten bigger than what I can manually check

r/SaaS on Reddit

Getting releases out the door recently has required babysitting CI test runs for an entire day to get all tests to pass.

r/ExperiencedDevs on Reddit

someone breaks the suite, but no one stops developing or merging

r/ExperiencedDevs on Reddit

A false green gets merged, included in the report and shown to management as "automation coverage".

r/Everything_QA on Reddit

you're not looking at "did this pass," you're looking at "did this pass on attempt 3."

r/QualityAssurance on Reddit

I basically want an industry standard practice implemented on my team of 4 devs who are too busy doing other things.

Hacker News

it still failed silently in production because the fix was real but pointed at the wrong asset. Nothing in the process ever complained.

  • r/softwaretesting
  • r/AI_Agents

Tools they use today

  • Playwright
  • Claude
  • Cypress
  • Appium
  • Selenium
  • Askui
  • Chrome
  • Codex

Why those fall short

  • unit tests mocked everything; e2e regression testing lacks traction
  • PHPUnit and Pest were learned but never adopted in development
  • manual checking no longer covers integrations, billing, permissions, devices and OS versions
  • no unit or integration tests; Playwright used for individual components
  • AI cannot replicate gut-feeling edge case discovery
