Find where your niche customers actually hang out

NicheRadar solves a problem every indie hacker hits: you know WHO your customer is but not WHERE to find them online. You describe your product and ideal customer in plain English. NicheRadar returns a ranked list of Reddit subreddits, Discord servers, Slack groups, and forums — with member counts, activity levels, promo rules, and a suggested first post for each community. Built in a weekend with Next.js + Claude AI. Free to try (1 scan, no signup).
How does the suggested first post actually get tailored per community, and does it factor in each platform's specific rules and tone so it doesn't come off as spammy?
How accurate is the promo rules detection, like is it actually reading each subreddit's sidebar or doing something shakier under the hood?
how does it handle bigger communities, like the huge default subs where the promo rules are super strict or mods basically insta-delete anything that looks like a plug?
What's coming next (based on feedback from Indie Hackers):
Confidence scores per community (verified data vs AI estimate)
Live posts from each community about YOUR problem space
Community Monitor: weekly trend emails per saved community
the suggested first post idea was honestly the most useful part, saved me from that awkward blank page when joining a new subreddit. member counts and activity levels next to each community made it easy to skip the dead ones too.
The subreddit suggestions actually matched my niche surprisingly well, and the promo rules for each one saved me from probably getting banned in a couple places. Solid weekend build.
