Hey PH! 👋 I built GetIdeaScout after watching friends waste months chasing business ideas that were either too saturated or just didn't fit their market. The problem: most "business idea" tools give you the same generic list regardless of where you live or what you can actually do. GetIdeaScout is different, it takes your city, skills, budget, and interests and surfaces 3–5 real opportunities backed by local signals: search trends, social discussions, marketplace gaps, and competitor analysis specific to YOUR area. You can also validate your own idea and get a viability score, competitor landscape, and a 4-week execution plan. First scan is completely free, no sign-up needed. Would love your honest feedback, especially from founders who've struggled to find the right idea. What do you wish a tool like this told you?

The location-based filtering actually works, found two hyperlocal ideas in my neighborhood I never would have considered. Wish the export options were cleaner, but the signal-to-noise ratio on suggestions is impressive.

@erdikayrgalzh8 Really glad the hyperlocal filtering delivered, that's exactly the use case we built it for. Export is noted, it's on the list. Appreciate you taking the time to try it and share that.

Really appreciated everyone who tried GetIdeaScout on launch day. A few things we've improved based on your feedback:
The hyperlocal filtering is sharper, you'll notice better signal quality on location-specific opportunities. We've also been refining how we score and rank ideas so the suggestions feel more actionable, not just interesting.
What's coming next: cleaner export options (heard you on that), and more granular filtering by budget and skill level.
If you haven't tried a scan yet, first one is free at getideascout.com, takes two minutes. And if you have feedback, drop it below. Building this in public and every comment shapes what we prioritise next.
