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.

Unfair Productivity Metrics

Workers and managers lack trustworthy, context-aware productivity metrics, leading to unfair evaluations, gaming, and misread effort.

In their words

We have inconsistent completion of reviews. Some managers stay on top of them, while others let them become WAY overdue.

r/humanresources on Reddit

our bonus structure is very basic and still requires a lot of data analysis to know what to pay out.

r/humanresources on Reddit

I am looking for a simple tool that shows me activity levels without invading their privacy.

r/askmanagers on Reddit

This is the same guy who wants me to track "active hours" on Teams instead of looking at the actual output.

r/managers on Reddit

Who gets credit for the work I'm about to automate.

r/AI_Agents on Reddit

The tool designed to measure productivity is making me less productive.

r/remotework on Reddit

If I don't do enough STUs or give enough write ups, then it reflects poorly on me.

r/AmazonFC on Reddit

el trabajo pasa a ser llegar a la métrica, superarla para no quedar en la parte baja

r/devsmeli on Reddit

Anyone else had an "efficient AI-driven" system push you toward the wrong call?

r/managers on Reddit

when you work with one reviewer, fix issues that they have found, you resubmit the task, and then different reviewer takes a look at it, and finds set of completely different issues

r/mercor_ai on Reddit

you also have to spend time figuring out how you can split a 100-line function into 5 PR's so you don't look awful on a dashboard

r/ExperiencedDevs on Reddit

one of the 20+ senior stakeholders I deal with didn't like how I answered his questions in one meeting

r/Leadership on Reddit

teams are just finding lots of busywork (renaming things, gardening of ai .md files, rewriting uis etc) and also dividing prs into smaller chunks to match the quotas

  • r/TELUSinternational
  • r/callcentres
  • r/managers
  • r/OGPBackroom

Tools they use today

  • Slack
  • Claude
  • Monitask
  • Hubstaff
  • Time Doctor
  • Copilot
  • git
  • GitHub

Why those fall short

  • surveys go to wrong customers, low scores cannot be discarded or appealed
  • 1:1s don't ask about long-term wants or surface hidden workload
  • metrics reward looking busy, not delivering results
  • idle status measures keyboard contact, not output; rewards mouse-jiggling
  • Metrics don't account for delays, guest interactions, or other variables
