The best product ideas start in a complaint thread, a frustrated review, or a question nobody has answered well. NicheGaps reads those conversations at scale and turns them into gaps you can measure.
One complaint, in the person's own words: a 1–3★ app review, a Reddit or Hacker News post asking for something that doesn't exist yet. Each links back to where it was said.
Signals that describe the same unmet need, grouped together, with the products people are complaining about and what they say is missing.
0–100 for demand, momentum, competition, willingness to pay, urgency and breadth, recomputed at least every hour as new signals arrive.
Start from what people already said they need, and check every quote yourself.
