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.

Manual Food and Nutrition Data

People and businesses struggle with tedious, error-prone manual tracking, planning, and integration of food, nutrition, and inventory data.

In their words

the act of checking the temperatures twice a day, morning and evening, often signals problems before they arise

r/opensource on Reddit

it's already pretty unreasonable for a paid app that there isn't an official API, and we're jumping through hoops pretending to be a browser to get our data

r/cronometer on Reddit

it saves me a couple of hours a day on frameworks which allows me to better use my time elsewhere.

r/foodscience on Reddit

If your system had an API we could use to import client data every day to sync it into our system, we'd encourage our clients to use Cronometer specifically

I've been forced to do what I can with the limitations of Excel, which is why I'm excited to learn more about what Airtable can do for me.

r/Airtable on Reddit

We have around 1hr and 45minutes to plate each meal (on average with NPOs) 105 plates. We support 7 different diets and textures.

r/Chefit on Reddit

I looked into Odoo, but their licensing is too expensive at the moment.

r/selfhosted on Reddit

tracking prep yields and food cost per recipe when ingredient prices keep shifting. Spreadsheets kept breaking whenever someone updated a cell wrong

r/nocode on Reddit

Has anyone found an affordable Ai tool that helped with product ideas or understanding what customers might want next?

r/startups on Reddit

I am currently staring at a WhatsApp message thread that contains 17 blurry photos of half-eaten Tupperware

r/HealthCoaching on Reddit

it would be helpful if the app could be a one-stop shop and simply display the data it already has from the ingredients

r/LoseitApp on Reddit

their website lists their cocktails' ingredients, but I am sure a lot of the ingredients are really tinctures or infused flavors. They also use a rotovap, which I had never heard of until now.

r/restaurantowners on Reddit

I kept getting recipes with "that one ingredient", which was either a major PITA to source or produced too much waste

Hacker News

It’s too much of a chore screening every ingredient and item for dairy wheat and animal products like just basic gelatin and finding alternatives

  • r/cronometer
  • r/restaurantowners
  • r/dietetics
  • r/selfhosted
  • r/HealthCoaching

Tools they use today

  • Cronometer
  • Excel
  • Claude
  • Airtable
  • Google Sheets
  • MyFitnessPal
  • Notion
  • WhatsApp

Why those fall short

  • built-in thermometers miss trends that manual checks catch
  • Recent items search and sort is abysmal
  • still have to verify everything with the supplier; data not comparable
  • no chart or list of ingredients provided by management
  • no tool helps plan or speed up plating across diets
