Guys, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'd like to wish each of us to learn how to find problems that:

1. Haven't been solved by anyone yet.

2. People are truly willing to pay to have solved.

Hey Product Hunt

1. A Russian developer built an app for Nigeria but can't accept payments. App stores are unavailable, direct providers are complex. Needs a simple solution. Budget $500 700.

2. Need an AI app: upload a photo get a weekly verdict progress / no progress and advice on when to increase load. Existing trackers either lack AI or are too complex. Willing to pay $100/year.

3. There is no simple and secure way to pass bitcoin to heirs in the event of sudden death. Without complex multisignature setups or trust in third parties.
Boris,

Hey, friends!
We've posted 5 new problems. Especially check out problem #4 (first I laughed, then I thought about it, and then I posted it ).
1. Nigeria's transport trap: Uber/Bolt too expensive, okada too deadly, Danfo buses a nightmare. Millions need safe, affordable carpooling. Ready to pay.

2. Photographer loses 20 30% of clients to spam needs an AI clone with a copy of her voice to answer calls and book sessions.
3. Voice control for AI coding breaks when I change my mind mid-sentence. Need an AI intermediary that cleans up prompts through conversation before sending.

4. Need a smart device that automatically detects pigeons and permanently deters them. Everything on the market only works temporarily.

Guys, over the past 3.5 months, we encountered one significant problem at ProblemHunt:

1. Many contributors who shared problems aren't very motivated to provide feedback to developers for various reasons. Even among those willing to give feedback, not everyone agrees to work with more than 3 5 different developers (for context: currently, one contributor receives messages from 7 15 people on average). And without quality feedback, it s difficult to clarify all the details and build a great product.

2. To solve this problem, we talked to some of the contributors and found out: they are willing to provide feedback much more actively if they can receive 1% equity in the future startup. According to them, this would give them strong motivation to help with advice and actively participate in testing.

3. Therefore, we decided to run an experiment over the next few months. Now, in the problem submission form, contributors can optionally indicate that they want to receive 1% equity in the future startup. And we will mention this in the publication for you.

4. By the way, if you currently have a problem and also want to get 1% equity in a future startup, you can seize this opportunity right now on ProblemHunt!

1. Need an AI Jarvis that turns chaotic voice/text updates into automatically structured tasks, projects, and dashboards for managing all of life and work.

2. Hours of manual searching for parts for Chinese cars. Need an AI agent that understands queries from photos or text and finds the part.

3. Online clothes shopping is a lottery. There's no accessible technology to see how an item will fit your body, especially in small stores. It's a pain for the buyer and a loss for the seller.

4. A musician from Lebanon cannot sell his music: streaming pays pennies, and Bandcamp doesn't accept payments in his country. Needs a fair radio-platform with direct sales.

5. VPN users have nowhere to find out if a service will work reliably on their network there is no up-to-date rating based on real-time quality monitoring.

6. It's impossible to order truly fresh farm vegetables and bread through delivery aggregators product quality is low, and you have to go to the market yourself.

1. Guys, I ve been noticing more and more often in the comments something along these lines: This problem was solved many years ago, here s a solution I found on Google in 1 minute .

2. Yes, most often, a problem you see on ProblemHunt at first glance seems to be already solved. And I fell into this trap myself. For example, for one of the problems on PH that I wanted to solve, I found at least three solutions in my search, one of which was created as much as 4 years ago. BUT after a call with the person experiencing the problem, it turned out that the existing products solved it at most 20 30%, and a lot still needed to be improved.

Guys, a month ago, Anna, a product designer, reached out to me from the ProblemHunt community. She described her problem in detail in DMs. It was probably the most genuine and sincere description of pain I have ever seen. Anna has this ability to talk about her problems with complete openness and raw emotion for any researcher, it's an absolute gift.

Today she shared a new problem, and I've just posted it now. It's hard for me to convey the tone through text in a post, but trust me, it's genuinely painful. It's that intense fear of a designer becoming obsolete in the era of AI.

1. Problem Breakdown from the Moderator:

A detailed description of a systemic pain point in the B2B segment has come to ProblemHunt. This is not a classic user request but rather an analysis from a consultant. We can't publish it as a standard problem, but it's too profound to ignore. Let's examine it as a case study. Before publication, all unnecessary information was removed while preserving the important details and essence.

1. 5 partners 5 different CV templates. Managers spend 20 40 minutes on each adaptation, up to 15 times a week. Over a year of this routine. No ready-made solutions found.

2. Healthcare professionals want AI for diagnosis, documentation, and patient care but training doesn't scale and tools feel too technical. Need a simple, clinically relevant path.
