How it works

Three signals. One score. Zero guesswork.

01

Signal demand

We crawl Indie Hackers, Hacker News, Reddit, and Twitter — counting how often people ask for solutions in specific niches. High ask, low answers = opportunity.

02

Size the audience

How many people are already talking about this on Twitter? If there's an audience waiting, you don't have to build it from scratch.

03

Score the gap

Demand minus supply equals your niche score. Higher score = more whitespace. We surface 0-100 scores daily so you're always looking at fresh opportunities.
