Problems worth building, sourced daily.

About

I build tools that help indie founders figure out what's actually worth building. Builder Brief surfaces evidence-backed problems from Reddit, Hacker News, and indie communities — turning raw pain points into structured product briefs. Started after shipping a SaaS that flopped at $18 in revenue. The lesson: validate the artifact, not just the idea.

Builder Brief - Problems worth building, sourced daily.

Builder Brief turns community discussions into vetted, build-ready product briefs. It scans Reddit, Hacker News, Indie Hackers, and founder newsletters daily, scoring every signal for demand strength, confidence, and build effort. Each brief covers the problem, solution shape, competitors, monetization, and risks, with an exportable PDF and a copy-paste prompt for AI builders. Browse free previews, then unlock full briefs on demand.
