Update: I improved the prompt after recording to make the workflow slightly cleaner, but the core idea, steps, and value remain the same. The demo is still 100% valid.

Love this! I’ve been stuck in that loop of trying to figure out what to build next. I get really frustrated when I have the itch to build something meaningful, but I don’t have a clear pain point to anchor it to. I saw RunnerH launch the other week, so it's super cool to see a use case for it that resonates with me. I’m a big believer that the best products start with solving a real pain, and this feels like a great way to shortcut the discovery process. Have you identified any pain points so far with its runs that stand out for your next product?

Thanks, Andre, and yeah, I know that loop way too well.
That's exactly what pushed me to build this workflow.

And btw I got some ideas already: AI tools with clunky onboarding, collaboration tools that don’t support async well, and "simple" apps that still overcomplicate UI.

Lots of gaps are hiding in plain sight.
Might build something around this.

Anyways, thanks for the comment!

been cool seeing steady progress - it adds up. you think the hardest part’s actually finding the pain or sticking with it long enough to fix it?

That’s a great question, and honestly, it's both, but in just different ways
One requires attention, and the other requires obsession, kind of, to me personally.

Finding the pain means slowing down enough to really listen to people, to try to fix their problems from their perspective.
That's hard. And I'm not even talking about the surface-level problem-solving.

Fixing it is the long game. And I know that's the thing that's gonna make you successful or a loser in the end.

What do you think?
