Real-world problems from the community
You'll forget what you cared about today. Your goals, your worries, your daily life — it fades. Imagine getting a letter from yourself, written a year ago, delivered exactly when you asked.
Per my last email. As previously discussed. Going forward. Just wanted to circle back. You know these phrases. They sound polite but they drip with passive aggression.
Great startup names are all taken. Or are they? Thousands of startups fail every year and their names become available again. But nobody tracks this.
You have 6 meetings today. At least 3 could be emails. But you can't just say that. You need a believable excuse.
You open your fridge. You see stuff. You close your fridge. You order delivery. Meanwhile, you had everything for 3 different meals.
Every deploy is a gamble. Will the tests pass? Will staging break? Will that one flaky test ruin your Friday afternoon? You won't know until you push.
You have 200 tabs open. You're afraid to close any of them because what if you need that one. Your laptop fan sounds like a jet engine.
Code quality metrics are boring. Nobody looks at SonarQube dashboards. But everyone pays attention when there's a leaderboard.
You depend on 5 third-party APIs. When one goes down, you find out because your users complain. There's no easy way to monitor public APIs you don't own.
After an outage, someone has to write the postmortem. It takes 2 hours of collecting Slack messages, PagerDuty alerts, and deployment logs. Nobody wants to do it.
Salary transparency is broken. Glassdoor has outdated data. LinkedIn shows ranges so wide they're useless. You have no idea if you're underpaid.
Moving to a new country is overwhelming. Visa timelines, healthcare enrollment, banking, tax registration, local communities — the information exists but it's scattered across 50 government websites in a language you're still learning.
Restaurants throw away 30-40% of their food every day. Meanwhile, people nearby would happily buy it at a discount. The food exists, the demand exists, but nobody connects them.
Remote work is lonely. You want to work from a cafe but sitting alone with your laptop feels depressing. You just want someone to sit across from.
You found the perfect apartment. Great price, nice photos. You move in and discover a bar blasts music until 3am every Friday and construction starts at 6am.
Product Hunt showcases solutions. But nobody curates the problems. Builders waste months on things nobody needs because they never validated the pain.
Journaling helps mental health but writing feels like homework. Talking is natural but voice memos just pile up unlistened.
You join a new team. The codebase has 200 files, no documentation, and the person who built it left. You spend a week just figuring out where things are.
You're about to sign a 12-month lease. It's 47 pages of legal jargon. You skim it, hope for the best, and sign. Three months later you discover a $500 early termination fee buried in section 14.3.
You're overpaying for your phone plan, cable, and insurance. You know it. But calling to negotiate is painful and you keep putting it off.
In web3, anyone can create a fresh wallet and pretend to be trustworthy. There's no credit score, no reputation — just vibes and maybe a .eth name.
DAOs manage millions in treasury but have no visibility. Members vote on proposals without knowing if the DAO can afford them. Spending is opaque.
Gym memberships have a 67% dropout rate. People pay but don't show up. There's no real consequence for skipping.
Splitting rent with roommates is a monthly headache. Someone forgets, someone pays late, the landlord gets 4 separate Venmo transfers.
Ticketmaster takes 30% and bans resale. Artists get nothing from the secondary market. Fans get scammed by fakes.
