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.

Messy Vectorization Cleanup

Converting scanned, sketched, or AI-generated drawings into clean, accurate, editable vector/CAD files requires extensive manual cleanup and redrawing.

In their words

Better drawing tools. The UI for the Foundry drawing is dismal. If there’s a way to get an Excalibdraw layer on top of a map, I pay real money for it

r/FoundryVTT on Reddit

Give me real semantic layers though and I'd pay it for sure!

r/SideProject on Reddit

Every time I want to turn a picture into separate layers though, it ends up being a lot of manual work no matter what I do.

r/lasercutting on Reddit

We use 3-D laser scanners for much more accurate floor plans we charge for it.

r/RealEstatePhotography on Reddit

I know there is a way to automate it, I just don't know who knows how to do it.

r/Entrepreneur on Reddit

I have to turn a lot of 2D plans into 3D quickly (bulk)

r/developersIndia on Reddit

I'm tired of all the files from architects coming in at 0,0 and having to translate them every time.

r/civilengineering on Reddit

What would be the quickest way to do this without redrawing everything? Image trace and Generative AI are not really helping.

r/AdobeIllustrator on Reddit

I have 12,072 of these images i need to map though. What's the best approach for that?

r/webdev on Reddit

still took me about 8 hours to get everything fine-lined, but I figure it easily cut my time in half over trying to just eyeball everything

r/Autobody on Reddit

a basic logo turns into 30 minutes of cleanup before I have even started the actual job

r/lasercutting on Reddit

i spent weeks rolling custom rasterizers for a stm32h7 project just to avoid dragging in freertos plus some bloated graphics library

r/embedded on Reddit

I ask for much simpler SVG icons periodically (to insert into webpages, map icons, chart icons, etc.) and all of the models tend to do poorly in my experience.

It usually takes a few minutes of deletions and path unions to produce something usable.

Why those fall short

  • No minimap or saved regions for navigating large canvases
  • architects export at 0,0 and alter survey linework, breaking precise placement
  • UI for Foundry drawing is dismal
  • it just isn't working
  • OCR tags numbers inside reference tables, fails to identify every part exactly
