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.

Playtest Feedback Gaps

Game and app developers struggle to recruit reliable testers and collect structured, contextual feedback that is actionable for iteration.

In their words

I'm not really recruiting testers, I'm asking people to build a two-week habit around an app they have no reason to care about yet.

r/androiddev on Reddit

Keeping twelve people opening an app they've got zero reason to care about, every couple days for two weeks, is the part that actually wears you down.

r/androiddev on Reddit

The amount of time I spend setting up test builds and trying to get meaningful feedback from testers is insane

r/Unity3D on Reddit

finding twelve actual humans was harder than I expected

r/SideProject on Reddit

if there were a tool that pulled real Steam data (similar games, pricing, review patterns) to give you a grounded gut-check on an idea before you sink months into it

r/IndieDev on Reddit

it's about getting 12 people to stay in the closed test for the full 14 days

r/App_Hive on Reddit

The thing with discord is that it's restricted in our country and we have to use vpn every single time.

r/gamedev on Reddit

Don't wait a week before your game comes out to submit the build to Valve!

r/IndieDev on Reddit

They may be willing to help, but often they don't know the requirements, forget to test or provide feedback, need constant follow-ups, or may drop out during the testing period.

r/googleplayconsole on Reddit

Balancing suspects manually was taking forever.

r/AI_Agents on Reddit

finding reliable testers was much harder than building the app

r/TestersCommunity on Reddit

Finding playtesters to blind playtest is currently the biggest bottleneck I'm having.

r/tabletopgamedesign on Reddit

Finding 12 testers was a struggle for my app. Had to use a mix of LinkedIn begging, work colleagues, friends, and people from random Whatsapp groups I was in.

Hacker News

I'm currently trying to complete Google's requirement of 12 Android testers for 14 consecutive days before I can apply for production access.

  • r/IndieDev
  • r/tabletopgamedesign
  • r/SoloDevelopment
  • r/gameDevMarketing

Tools they use today

  • Discord
  • Steam
  • Claude
  • Google Play Console
  • Google Forms
  • Google Sheets
  • Tabletop Simulator
  • Unity

Why those fall short

  • AI games lie about AI use; no effective filtering or reporting
  • requires severe tweaking and messing around
  • no one fills out the form; refunds give no reason
  • friends install then go dormant; strangers don't care; swap groups feel inauthentic
  • Discord is blocked in their country and requires VPN every time
