Build things
people already want.
Every idea is grounded in evidence. Actual conversations from people describing the problem, actual revenue from businesses already solving it, and keyword data so you can size the opportunity in minutes.
The Pattern
The best businesses were born from genuine frustration.
Not a hackathon pitch. Not a whiteboard exercise. An ordinary person, openly venting about something that didn't work — while the rest of the world scrolled past.

See earners →Sourced from real problems, not brainstorming sessions

Traced to Reddit & app reviews
Click through to the original threads and complaints that sparked the idea.
Scored across four dimensions
Opportunity size, problem severity, build feasibility, and market timing — each rated independently.

We don't publish shallow lists. Each idea ships with research, data, and a clear build path.
The market is proven. Someone is already charging for it.
Each idea is linked to at least one business operating in that space with verified revenue. Confirmed demand, confirmed growth, confirmed that buyers exist.

FAQ
Common questions
What makes IdeasDB different from other idea resources?+
Evidence over opinion. Every idea is anchored to real demand signals — actual Reddit threads, keyword data, and businesses already generating revenue in the space. Not a recycled brainstorm list.
Where do the ideas come from?+
From people publicly describing problems they have. We scan Reddit communities and App Store reviews, then use AI to score the highest-signal findings on four dimensions.
Is the data real or estimated?+
Real. Every idea traces back to a verifiable source you can inspect yourself — threads, search volumes, and earner revenue are all linked.
What are proven earners?+
Active businesses with verified revenue operating in the same space as an idea. They confirm the market has paying customers before you commit to building.
Can I browse before subscribing?+
Yes. Public idea pages, the signal feed, and the blog are all freely accessible. Full breakdowns and keyword data unlock with a Pro plan — the first month is free.
How often do you add new ideas?+
Weekly, on a consistent schedule, with data refreshed alongside each batch.
Do I need a technical background to use this?+
No. The database is designed for developers, designers, marketers, and people with no coding background alike.
How much time does this save?+
Typically several hours of market research compressed into a single structured page per idea.
