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.

Chronic Retail Understaffing

Retail stores are chronically understaffed because labor hours are cut or misallocated, leaving too few workers to cover tasks and customers.

In their words

scheduling still lives in spreadsheets that each GM builds their own way

I do the work of 3 people for one department. It’s insane.

r/Safeway on Reddit

The AI doesn't do any work or know the busy times and when to put people to make sure busy times are covered

r/WalmartEmployees on Reddit

I haven’t had a shift in two weeks now even asked to cover a shift that was open on the 15th yet days later no response.

I'm the only person that works in the entire department on Saturdays every Saturday, when it's the second busiest day of the week

r/retailhell on Reddit

My store has lost so many hours, it's almost impossible to get tasks completed. Things just keep piling up and rolling to the next shift.

Why those fall short

  • clunky scheduling functions, swap shift assigns random stores, AI schedules full of mistakes

  • algorithm ignores breaks and department coverage needs
  • Oasis productivity metrics schedule to projections but punish actual sales shortfalls
