Idea Miner
Public Demand Signals for Indie Developers · 1 Year

Building solo and not sure where to start?
Check public demand with posted budgets before guessing

Writing code isn't the hardest part — the hardest part is spending months on something nobody wants. Idea Miner distills recurring common demands from public outsourcing tasks with posted budgets, tracking mention frequency, median posted budget, and trends to help developers discover potential software opportunities (note: posted budgets do not equal completed transactions or payments).

A Real Test of Three Synthetic PDFs: Where the Default Configuration Fails

Who this is for:Developers handling recurring PDF-to-spreadsheet work

  • Clean single-page tables: pdfplumber and pymupdf extract them perfectly in ~65ms -- off-the-shelf libraries already clear a high bar for this specific slice.
  • Cross-page tables: none of the libraries stitch pages automatically. camelot's lattice mode got all 276 cells right; pdfplumber/pymupdf each truncated 11 cells, traced to the test document's own too-narrow column, not a general few-point overflow.
  • Scanned tables: text-based libraries return nothing; adding OCR got 22/24 cells right but took 4.44s -- markedly slower, on a different input than the digital-text cases.

Not yet verified:Three synthetic documents cannot establish accuracy on customer files or willingness to pay.

Physical Business Verification: What the Public Postings Show, and What Three Technical Checks Don't Prove

Who this is for:Builders evaluating field-verification workflows

  • Confirmis's own website claims 6,000+ trained verifiers already exist -- directly contradicting an earlier draft's 'no standing network' assumption, which has since been corrected.
  • Three passive technical checks (geocoding, EXIF GPS, image tamper detection) each have real, testable limits -- including one confirmed directly: forging GPS coordinates with a free command-line tool took under half a second and completely fooled the location check.
  • None of the three checks tested, alone or combined, supports a 'fraud-resistant' product claim.

Not yet verified:The tested checks do not establish fraud resistance; why such tasks keep being posted publicly remains unknown.
