What we’re cooking next at Needle 👀
We’re launching a completely redesigned version — faster, smarter, and way more intuitive. But that’s just the start. We’re experimenting with AI-powered market insights, community heatmaps, and auto competitor tracking (yep, while you sleep 😴). If you could instantly get one piece of intel about your market every morning — what would you want it to be?
We built Needle because we were tired of shouting into the void 😅
As founders, we kept building cool things… but couldn’t find who actually needed them. We spent hours digging through Reddit threads, Hacker News comments, and forums — just to find 5 people asking the exact thing we were solving. That pain became Needle. Now, you can discover those conversations in seconds. Curious — how do you currently find early customers?
What’s one thing you’d love Needle to do next?
We’re continuously improving — faster search, smarter signals, and deeper insights. If you could add one feature to make customer discovery effortless, what would it be? (We might just build it 👀)
Which platform gives the realest startup signals?
Needle scans Reddit, Hacker News, Quora, Stack Overflow, and more — but we’ve noticed some platforms surface more “authentic” pain points than others. Which community do you think reveals the most genuine user problems?
How do you find your first 100 customers?
We built Needle to make this process easier - but everyone’s story is different. How did you find your first users or early adopters? Through Reddit, Twitter, communities, or something else entirely? Would love to hear what worked (and what didn’t)! 🚀
