i made a searchable table of 200+ startup ideas with monetisation and difficulty scores + analysis

hey guys,

i just launched my first project of the week (and first of my 3 projects this week) as part of my goal to reach 100k before starting uni.

it's called ideabench, and it's basically a searchable table of 200+ startup ideas i collected from reddit posts where people share what they're building.
i ran them through a simple analysis for things like monetisation potential, ease of build, competition, and category so you can filter and sort without scrolling forever. it also has detailed analysis for each category.

i made it as a small tool to save time for indie hackers or anyone looking for inspiration. (i'm definitely going to be using this for my next project this week.)

would love any feedback or thoughts, and i'm open to any suggestions.

(if i get even one customer i'll keep on adding more ideas)

you can check it out here

thanks!

Many people build products which nobody needs because they think others need them. Like Paul Graham said: Build products people want.

Therefore, more interesting would be an analysis of the actual demand:

  • posts looking for tools or solutions (How can I solve ..., I need a tool that ..., What tool can ..., etc.)
  • calculate a score of the actual demand (e.g. how many posts exist, how much engagement did they get, recency of posting, etc.)
  • add also references to the actual Reddit threads to dive deeper into the actual problems

Awesome job on Ideabench! Turning community-sourced ideas into a searchable, sortable table with monetization and difficulty scores is seriously useful. Great tool for any indie builder looking for inspo and clarity.
Nice work
