How do you validate your SaaS ideas before writing the first line of code?

Hey Product Hunt community!

We ve all been there: you get a "brilliant" SaaS idea at 2 AM, spend the next few weeks locked in a room vibing and writing code, launch it, and... crickets. No one buys it because no one actually needed it. Spending months building something nobody wants is the ultimate founder nightmare.

For my upcoming launch, Review2Idea, I decided to force myself to take a completely different approach. Instead of guessing what people want, I went straight to where the pain already exists: 1-3 star App Store reviews.

Users in those comment sections are literally begging for solutions to their problems. So I built an AI pipeline to parse thousands of these messy, unstructured complaints and map them directly into actionable MVP specs and micro-SaaS formulas. It saved me hundreds of hours of blind brainstorming.

Cursor or Claude Code?

I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!
