Feels like there are thousands of conversations happening every day where people literally describe their problems but most of us don t tap into them properly.

Do you actively use platforms like Reddit, Twitter, or HN for:

• finding users

• validating ideas

• understanding pain points

Or do you rely on other methods?

Trying to understand how people here go from idea talking to real users .

Do you:

• search communities (Reddit, HN, etc)?

• run ads to validate?

• do cold outreach?

• or something else?

When building Needle, one thing surprised me - most founders still rely on manual search across Reddit, Twitter, forums, etc.

Curious how others here are doing it:

• Do you actively search for conversations or wait for inbound?

• Which platforms have been most useful for you?

• Have you found any repeatable workflow that actually works?

Would love to learn how people here approach customer discovery today.
