The indie hacker dilemma

Finding the right niche is the hardest part

You know you want to build a profitable SaaS, but finding a niche with real demand, manageable competition, and clear monetization is harder than the building itself.

Research rabbit holes

You spend weeks scanning communities, threads, and timelines looking for ideas. But the signal-to-noise ratio is terrible and you end up more confused than when you started.

No feedback loop

Building in isolation means you lack the community validation and feedback that de-risks early decisions.
