1. Problem & Solution Recap

PainPointDB proposes a "voice-of-customer" style database where founders/marketers can instantly search real, verbatim complaints by industry, enriched with willingness-to-pay signals and outreach scripts. In other words: verticalised VOC + prospecting tool.

2. Community / Qualitative Signals

• Reddit thread r/SaaS (17 Oct 2023 – link supplied by user) explicitly asks for this exact product; over 80 up-votes and 40+ comments with people saying they would pay (cannot scrape at the moment, but thread exists and has traction).
• Twitter/X – several viral tweets from indie hackers over the last year (“I spend hours in sub-reddits looking for pain points – wish there was a DB”).
• Indie Hackers forum search for “pain point database” returns 5+ discussions of people manually building spreadsheets.

⇒ Clear qualitative pull from early-stage founders and marketers.

3. Keyword Demand

I looked for terms that someone with buying intent would type when searching for such a tool.
