PainBase is a platform that helps founders find software ideas, validate them, generate landing pages, and extract targeted prospects from discussions on Reddit, Hacker News, Dev.to, Indie Hackers, and Lobste.rs. It continuously scrapes these communities for high frustration keywords (e.g., 'how do I', 'hate this tool', 'impossible to') and presents them as validated pain points with a proprietary Gap Score (0.0–10.0) that multiplies complaint severity/urgency with solution scarcity. Users can generate AI research reports, perform competitor deep analysis, browse a live pain point feed, and build an MVP landing page in one click.
