A web app that scores a shipped SaaS product against real community pain evidence to tell founders if they solved a genuine problem or built slop
Show HN is drowning in AI-vibe-coded apps that solve no real problem. The SaaS quality bar is collapsing because anyone can ship a web app in hours with zero domain expertise, removing the effort-based filter that once kept low-signal products out. This web app takes a submitted product URL and description, cross-references it against community pain threads on HN, Reddit, GitHub Issues, and X, and outputs a scored evidence report showing whether the problem the product claims to solve has real people screaming about it, or whether the founder built in a vacuum. It is not an idea validator run before building. It is a post-ship reality check that tells founders what community signal actually backs their launched product.
