You know that moment in every hackathon where your team just sits there like:
“So… what should we build?”
Yeah. That.
I got tired of it.
So I built something to fix it.
🚀 Meet: Problem Radar
An app that takes your everyday frustrations and turns them into:
- 💡 A startup idea
- 🛠️ A tech stack
- 🎯 Target users
- 🎤 A pitch
- 📋 And even a build plan
All in seconds.
🧠 The Idea
Every day, we complain about things like:
- “Parking in cities is impossible”
- “Food delivery takes forever”
- “Attendance systems are outdated”
👉 Hidden inside those complaints are startup ideas
Problem Radar just… extracts them.
⚙️ How It Works
You type something like:
Finding parking in Bangalore is impossible
And the app generates:
- Problem Statement
- Target Users
- Severity Score
- Solution Idea
- Tech Stack
- Elevator Pitch
Then…
👉 It auto-saves everything into Notion as a ready-to-build project
🔥 The Cool Part (Notion Integration)
This is where it gets interesting.
Instead of just showing output, the app:
- Creates a structured page in Notion
- Adds problem + solution
- Suggests tech stack
- Generates a Sprint 1 plan
So your idea doesn’t just sit there…
👉 It becomes something you can actually start building immediately
🧩 Features That I’m Proud Of
📡 Radar Visualization
A live “problem radar” UI that makes the whole experience feel like you're scanning for opportunities.
🧠 Logic-Based Engine (No AI API)
Instead of relying on external AI APIs, I built a local logic engine that:
- detects users
- estimates severity
- suggests solutions
👉 Faster, cheaper, and works offline.
📈 Viability Dashboard
- Market score
- Monetization ideas
- Team suggestions
🛠️ Tech Stack
- Next.js (App Router)
- React
- Tailwind CSS
- Notion SDK
- Custom logic engine
🤯 Why This Matters
Most tools help you build faster.
This helps you decide:
what is worth building in the first place
🏆 Built for the Notion x MLH Challenge
The goal was to create a system where:
AI (or logic) + Notion = superpowers
So I turned Notion into:
👉 a live database of real-world problems + solutions
👀 What’s Next?
I’m thinking of adding:
- Real-time problem scraping (Reddit, reviews, etc.)
- Team collaboration
- “Trending problems” feed
💬 Question for you
If this existed…
👉 Would you use it before your next hackathon?
