Not another list of 100 startup ideas.
A small number of software opportunities, filtered from real market signals. Each one shows who has the problem, the posts that prove it, who already sells into it, what could kill it and how to test it in seven days before you build.
Inside WedgeLine
Nine software opportunities, each built from what people complain about in public, then checked against the real market and turned into a plan you can test this week.
Issue 04 was built from 25,971 signals over a 45-day window. Nine survived.

A one-page opportunity map opens the issue: buyer, price hypothesis, time to MVP, difficulty and how much direct evidence each one has.
EVERY OPPORTUNITY INCLUDES
- The problem, the buyer and the wedge
- Market read, named incumbents and what their users say
- Comparable exits, the unfair angle and what could kill it
- An evidence trail: real posts with exact quotes and links, rated direct or adjacent, so you can see how strong the case is
- A seven-day playbook: who to talk to, where to find them, five questions, what to build and what not to, the cheapest test and a kill condition
- The math with assumptions shown, and a death test

Frequently asked questions
-
Technical founders, indie hackers, SaaS builders and product people looking for a software problem worth building around.
-
From public signals: forum threads, product reviews, technical communities, hiring posts, code activity and search interest, across seven source types. Nearly everything is discarded. What survives is checked against live market data and written up.
-
Every entry lists the real posts behind it, with exact quotes and links, and rates each one direct (the post itself shows the pain) or adjacent (same topic, supports the context). If an entry has no direct source, it says so.
-
Signals are collected and filtered automatically, and language models help write and cross-check each entry, as the method page in every issue explains. Every opportunity lists its sources. We publish hypotheses, not guarantees.
-
