Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Roland, passionate indie hacker from Austria. I built NicheAtlas because every time I wanted to validate a side project idea, I'd spend hours jumping between Google Trends, Ahrefs, Reddit, and scattered blog posts — only to end up with a messy spreadsheet and more questions than answers. And honestly? The hardest part wasn't even validation — it was coming up with ideas in the first place. I'd stare at a blank page, scroll through "business idea" threads, and still feel stuck. I wanted a tool where I could just browse through real, data-backed opportunities and let something click. That's exactly what NicheAtlas became for me — not just a research tool, but an idea engine. You can literally scroll through thousands of niches, filter by opportunity score or search volume, and stumble into markets you never knew existed. So I built an automated pipeline that pulls real search data, analyzes competitor gaps, identifies pain points from Reddit and forums, and scores each niche by opportunity. Then I wrapped it all in a fast, searchable dashboard. Every niche profile gives you: - Search volume & trend direction - CPC and competition level - Pain points with evidence links - Competitor landscape & gaps - MVP idea + required features - How-to-win strategy - Related subreddits & keywords The core product is free and requires no signup. I'm adding new niches daily through an automated research pipeline. I'd love to hear what niches you're exploring — and what data would help you ship faster. Happy to answer any questions!
