It was essentially just a chat interface back then with different phases. I\u2019ve changed the workflow now to have a canvas, new phases, more sources for validation, research page for validating demand with your target audience, new tools, etc.","title":null,"type":"comment","url":null}],"created_at":"2025-07-01T12:01:17.000Z","created_at_i":1751371277,"id":44433007,"options":[],"parent_id":null,"points":1,"story_id":44433007,"text":"Hello HN.

I\u2019m Felix and I\u2019ve spent the last months building Buildpad together with my brother David.

What is it?

It\u2019s a platform where you research and plan your product with AI. I like to simply describe it as an AI co-founder that guides you through phases from idea to product.

What\u2019s one cool thing about it?

You can do simple market research by searching through social media discussions like Reddit and X to see if problems are real before you build a solution for them.

This lets you see:

- If people experience the problem\n- How it impacts them\n- Existing solutions

It\u2019s been resonating very well with our users and we just hit $6k MRR after 9 months since launching.

It\u2019s just my brother and I working hard on this project, doing marketing, building, customer support, everything ourselves.

I just wanted to share it here in case there\u2019s anyone who wants to build a product but is unsure if there\u2019s demand for it. The problem research part of the app is free, so check it out if that\u2019s you.

Let me know if you have any questions.","title":"Show HN: I made an app to help you find problems with real demand from Reddit/X","type":"story","url":"https://buildpad.io"}
