We launched The Eureka Database yesterday, and honestly I did not expect to feel this much.
I did not build this to launch it. I made it for myself and used it quietly for a few weeks to decide what to work on next. Sharing it was a late call, and the response has been way more than I expected.
Thank you to everyone who upvoted, commented, tried it, and told me where it falls short. We made the top 10, finished 5th place in Vercel Day, and we even got featured in Product Hunt's newsletter, The Leaderboard, in an edition called "Steal your next startup."

The idea of pulling real build specs directly through MCP is genuinely useful, saves so much guesswork. One thing that would make this a no-brainer for me is a freshness or trend signal on each idea, something like how often the underlying complaint is being mentioned recently or whether the existing profitable players are gaining traction. Right now an idea could be mined from a five year old thread and feel current when it's actually fading.
I'd definitely talk to users before building anything but the database sounds useful. I'm curious if multiple founders use Eureka do they all end up chasing the same opportunities ?
@reda_roqai_chaoui hahahaha Roger that ...
The "receipts" angle is the part most idea lists miss — knowing someone's already profitable off a complaint is way more useful than another AI-generated wishlist. How do you keep it from surfacing the same over-mined ideas everyone's already chasing? Curious how fresh you keep the Reddit data.
the receipts angle is what sells me here, actual evidence of who wants it beats another AI-generated idea list any day. how often do you refresh the "who's already profitable" data, that seems like the part that would go stale fastest since competitors and pricing shift constantly
It's a shame there's no free version - I wasn't able to test it. But it doesn't make sense for me to pay either, since my idea is in the travel industry, and that category isn't included in your database of validated ideas.
It would be great to have an idea validation search tool instead: I describe my idea, the service checks it across all available platforms, and then returns the results. The database could keep expanding over time.
This solves a real pain — I built my SaaS because a friend complained about her workflow for 6 months, not because AI suggested it.
Found on reddit! Congrats on the launch @jeremy_galang
