The idea

“a professional problem marketplace. Here's how the model works: For contributors (free) — professionals drop their job title, industry, and the daily pain point they face. They earn a small cut (e.g. £0.50) every time a builder unlocks their submission. For builders (paid) — they browse the feed, see free previews, and pay to unlock full problem details + contributor contact. Tiers: Builder at £4.99/mo, Studio at £24/mo for teams. The key mechanics built in: Free preview / locked blur on premium cards — creates friction that drives upgrades Upvoting surfaces the most validated problems Industry + problem-type filters so builders find their niche fast Right-panel submission form — dead simple to log a problem To actually build this as a SaaS you'd need: Auth (Clerk or Supabase Auth) DB for problems + votes (Supabase or PlanetScale) Stripe for subscriptions + contributor payouts A simple moderation queue so spam doesn't flood the feed The positioning that makes this sticky: builders pay for validated, specific pain — not generic market research. The specificity of "I spend 40 mins re-reading runbooks per incident" is worth far more than a survey.”
