A reliable way to validate interest is to look for specific frustration patterns in Reddit comments rather than just broad topics. You want to search for phrases like "how do I" or "is there a way to" within niche subreddits related to your industry.
Negative sentiment is usually a stronger signal than positive feedback. If people are complaining about a specific feature in a popular tool, they're likely ready to switch to a simpler alternative that solves that one problem.
I built Reddinbox to help with this exact research phase. It uses AI to scan these communities and pull out high-intent signals and pain points so you don't have to manually read through thousands of threads to find a gap in the market :)
