Startup ideas from what people complain about today.
Business ideas from real software problems people post on Reddit · updated
Every day we read the top threads in r/learnprogramming and r/webdev, keep the ones where someone is stuck or asking for help, merge near-duplicates and rank them. In software, the questions usually revolve around learning to code, debugging, career questions for developers and choosing tools. Below is today's list, followed by the problems that keep coming back. Each recurring problem has its own page with a plain-English summary, when it was first and last seen, and links to the original discussions. Problems with a clear market get a business idea — target customer, model, MVP, competition and an opportunity score. Updated .
