Show HN: I created a free tool that uses ML to comb subreddits for pain points

[chinkapin_]

You give it a subreddit, it gives you back pain points + other info.

I've been using this as a personal tool, but I thought I'd slap a frontend on it and share it.

Let me know what you think, I'd love some feedback!

Dropdown doesn't seem to be working (just black rows, as someone said), but I clicked on first result, and imo the value is more in analyzing/summarizing data, than giving ideas (product name, value proposition, etc).

LLM ideas are going to be avg at best, perhaps they serve better as what NOT to do :)

However, it would be cool to link to the post titles where it gets the insight from, count number of references for each competitor, sentiment analysis on competitors (what they do right, what they do wrong), controversial topics, that kind of stuff.

Thanks, gonna push a dropdown fix today. Seems like people are seeing this intermittently and I can't find any commonalities between their browsers.

Not sure I agree on the LLM ideas front - I think any shortcomings in the ideas are actually more attributable to the ML process. I'm curious to hear more of your thoughts on that though.

A few people have requested links to the post titles, so I'll push that today too.

I really like the competitor sentiment analysis idea. I've got a few ideas on how to transform the data to make it more useful, and that would enable this. Now I just need to find time and a reason to dive into that!

It doesn't work (Subreddit is not valid)

I tried these:

ycombinator

r/ycombinator

https://www.reddit.com/r/ycombinator/

There should be an autocomplete dropdown that appears, and you can only pick an option from the dropdown - it seems like intermittently the dropdown is not showing up for people. I'm on it!

Are you using Firefox on Linux by any chance?
