Real Paid-Demand Signal for Indie Developers · 1 Year

Building solo, not sure where to start?
See real paid demand — not a guess

Writing the code isn't the hard part — the hard part is sinking months into something nobody wants. Idea Miner distills 'common demand features' from real paid tasks completed on global outsourcing platforms, using hard data on mention frequency, budget size, and momentum to show indie developers: for this direction, someone is already paying real money.
