I built a tool to help founders find startup ideas by mining Reddit for real user complaints.

Enter a niche (e.g., productivity, parenting) and get actionable problems to solve from real posts.

It would be helpful if you showed what the output is, or have some queries that don't require an api key.

Currently when you go the the page and search for something, it nags you about an API key for a service that isn't this one (confusing misdirection). There aren't any obvious links until you get the side bar to open.

When you visit this other product page there are some screenshots that aren't very clear what the product is (IDE?) and the description above the fold just says something about supercharging ai-agents or something (effectively saying nothing).

That is a lot of friction just to see if this is something that solves my problem.

Totally get where you’re coming from,

Made a short video walking through how it works:

It’s using an API key from hyperbrowser.ai under the hood.

I figured that was the purpose of the API key, but that puts the onus on me to figure out acquiring that key. Which means I need to also be sold on using the other thing before I can determine if I want to use the first thing.

Having a third site to find a video of the product is even more friction.
