Indie hacker focused on problem discovery before building.

by

Hey, I’m Vikki.

I got tired of guessing what to build next, so I started paying closer attention to where real problems show up first.

For me, that has always been Reddit. People describe pain there in plain language. They ask for solutions before they know what to buy. The challenge was never access, it was filtering signal from noise without spending hours scrolling.

That led me to start building SignalCue, a tool focused on surfacing meaningful patterns like pain points, intent, and emerging needs from real conversations.

Right now I’m interested in problem discovery, validation before building, and learning how other builders turn messy input into clear decisions.

If you build in public or use Reddit as part of your research loop, I’d love to hear how you approach it.

Love this! I started Project Flow after realizing how often people describe their pain in everyday language before they ever think in “features.” Watching people say “I just open Netflix and give up” taught me more than any brainstorm ever could. I love how you frame Reddit as raw signal before intent is fully formed that’s exactly where the truth lives. Curious how you personally decide when a pattern is “real enough” to act on vs. just noise?
