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.

Slow Incident Root Cause

On-call engineers waste hours manually correlating scattered logs, metrics, deploys, and code to find incident root cause.

In their words

ever since around Jan 2026 every single piece of software, app, os, *anything* is breaking 3x as often now

r/it on Reddit

I have spent the last year begging for scope to actually start to fix the root cause of the issues.

r/ExperiencedDevs on Reddit

The fix took 90 minutes. The report took 2 hours.

r/sysadmin on Reddit

Is there a faster way by which we can identify or stich the malicious website the led to an incident?

r/crowdstrike on Reddit

it took us 14 hours of bouncing between grafana dashboards, grepping through logs, and cross referencing slack threads to piece together

r/devops on Reddit

It’s the “ok, something weird happened… now who actually moves first, and what do they do?” That part is usually hand wavy.

r/AskNetsec on Reddit

the handoff between teams... at 11pm on a Saturday that gap is where the incident actually gets worse

r/blueteamsec on Reddit

Usually Google Analytics tells you that something happened, but not what happened.

r/analytics on Reddit

The docs exist but you don't trust it's current, so you ping the author anyway.

r/ProductManagement on Reddit

nobody could even agree what state the remediation was actually in

r/devsecops on Reddit

he has to send a bunch of emails to different people instead company explaining what happened and said that takes up too much time and he doesn't want to have to do that

r/CircleK on Reddit

We currently don’t have a way to capture “identified time”, and in practice that often does not match when the ticket is opened.

r/servicenow on Reddit

I'd happily authorize a 100x spend for when we have a prod outage on a mission critical service.

Hacker News

context is definitely spread across different tools — and that's the painful part... bouncing between the host's logs, the third-party service's own dashboard

On-call SREs

Where they talk

  • r/sre
  • r/devops
  • r/Observability
  • r/sysadmin
  • r/SaaS
  • r/analytics
  • r/cybersecurity
  • r/servicenow

Tools they use today

  • Slack
  • Grafana
  • Datadog
  • PagerDuty
  • GitHub
  • incident.io
  • Claude
  • Jira

Why those fall short

  • monitoring tools exist but few help investigate unexpected changes
  • Huntress dashboard shows little; Petra has better visibility but still requires manual investigation.
  • vendor oncall helpers were slower; needed in-house build
  • runbooks only help with familiar incident shapes
  • alerting routes by symptom, not by code ownership
