Spent the last week digging through Reddit, Indie Hackers, and GitHub to find real problems people are complaining about RIGHT NOW. Not theory. Not "maybe someday" ideas. Real frustration from real people willing to pay. Here's what I found + why these could actually make money: 💰 The Winners (Ranked by Easiest → Hardest to Build) 1. Simple Webhook Tool The Problem: Developers pay $50/month to Zapier just to forward simple notifications from Stripe/payment processors. One Chrome extension solving this hit 150,000 downloads. Why It'll Make Money: People will pay $10-20/month for something simple that works. You need 500-1,000 customers = $10k/month. Build Time: 3-4 weeks 2. API Rate Limit Dashboard The Problem: Developers hit API limits on GitHub, Stripe, Twitter constantly. No way to track them all in one place. They waste hours debugging "Too Many Requests" errors. Why It'll Make Money: Dev teams will pay $20-50/month to prevent downtime and save time. Build Time: 3-4 weeks 3. GitHub Code Review Tracker The Problem: GitHub shows "reviews I gave" and "reviews requested" but NOT "reviews I received on my PRs." Developers manually click through every PR to check. One dev was frustrated enough to build their own tool. Why It'll Make Money: Individual devs pay $9-29/month, teams pay $49-99/month. Once it's in their daily workflow, they won't cancel. Build Time: 2-3 weeks 4. Simple Google Analytics Alternative The Problem: Google Analytics is insanely complicated. Small businesses just want "how many visitors today?" One indie app doing this makes $7,500/month. Why It'll Make Money: Small businesses pay $9-19/month to avoid Google complexity. Privacy angle is a bonus. Build Time: 3-4 weeks 5. Email Marketing for Developers The Problem: Mailchimp is expensive and confusing. ConvertKit is built for marketers, not technical founders. Indie hackers just need simple email without the bloat. Why It'll Make Money: $9-19/month for 500-2,000 subscribers. Developers HATE marketing tools but need them.
