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.

Broken Document Conversions

People waste time manually converting, reformatting, and cleaning up documents across Word, PDF, Markdown, and other formats, often with broken layouts and lost structure.

In their words

it’s getting annoying having five different websites for simple tasks

r/dropshipping on Reddit

Our biggest challenge is generating a Table of Contents (TOC) with accurate page numbers, since page numbers only exist after the document is rendered.

r/PowerPlatform on Reddit

Their want is to be able to upload this pdf to their website and have the data mapped with defined fields (custom post type).

r/Wordpress on Reddit

Copilot says it's doing it but it's clearly not making any visible changes to the MS Word document.

r/CopilotPro on Reddit

If I copy one sentence from another document into the document I am working on, it should automatically follow the same font and formatting.

r/Lawyertalk on Reddit

It is a terrible processs, I always suggest that if no word file exists to edit, that the entire document be recreated in word from scratch instead of converting and editing.

r/word on Reddit

it takes too long to format the tables and graphs manually

If Lumo can create docs, Word/Excel/PPT/PDFs, I’d happily ditch Claude. Till then I have to use it for my business.

r/lumo on Reddit

I have to export my content to Word. Then it moves to a complete Word revision workflow. Then I make my changes back in Obsidian and push back out to Word.

r/ObsidianMD on Reddit

all browsers choke on generating print preview. And yes our review tool chokes as well.

r/ediscovery on Reddit

it makes no sense to use Craft, and use another Markdown app to merely style the output

r/CraftDocs on Reddit

I need a tool set that allows me to output to Word, PDF, and markdown, supports single sourced reusable text (snippets), and integrates with GitHub.

r/technicalwriting on Reddit

I spent months fighting word processing systems and ended up shipping libre. There's almost zero alternatives without that becoming your entire company.

Where they talk

  • r/Markdown
  • r/powerpoint
  • r/technicalwriting
  • r/ClaudeAI
  • r/macapps
  • r/indesign
  • r/SaaS
  • r/legaltech

Tools they use today

  • Word
  • Claude
  • PowerPoint
  • Copilot
  • Obsidian
  • Pandoc
  • Adobe Acrobat
  • LibreOffice

Why those fall short

  • AI output is not saved, formatted or transferable to print templates
  • Copilot needs several iterations and still fails to fix alignment
  • Claude output imperfect, wrong font sizes, PPT compatibility issues
  • Clause numbering, styles, TOCs and cross-references break; formatting never matches twice.
  • no sync, no search and replace, no split screen, no export, notation incompatibilities
