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.

You won't get answers to any tech problems or support.

r/AiTraining_Annotation on Reddit

finding a reliable team has been much harder than I expected

We tried to call a handful of different plumbers to come assess what might be going on, but none will come because they “don’t work on condos.”

Why those fall short

  • surveyors backlogged; small firms only do plats, not topo
  • clunky, tries to do too much, subs and clients barely use it
  • Channels disabled, support unresponsive, bot useless, guidelines contradictory
  • finding responsible, reasonably priced handymen is as much work as a PM
  • trades and their offices stop replying; office closes early
