Hey Product Hunt 👋
Maker here. I built ViewSleuth after watching too many creators (myself included) throw content at the wall hoping something sticks — no real way to know if a niche was saturated, and no clear path from "good idea"
to "actually monetized."
The core insight: subscriber count and view count don't tell you if a niche has room. View-to-Subscriber ratio does — it surfaces channels punching way above their weight, which is the real signal of an underexploited niche.
The thing I kept hearing from creators, though, wasn't just "help me find an idea" — it was "I don't know if I'm about to get flagged or demonetized." So we added a Growth Guide: a checklist that walks you through YouTube's actual monetization requirements (they've changed a lot — most guides online are outdated), safe content practices, and
audience retention techniques that stay fully within guidelines.
A few things I'd love feedback on:
- Is the Niche Health Score intuitive at a glance, or does it need more explanation?
- Does the Growth Guide feel like a natural extension, or would you rather it be a separate product?
Happy to answer anything about how the AI audits or scoring work under the hood.
Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
