Why indie hackers need demand signals

Time is your scarcest resource

As a solo builder, you cannot afford to spend months on an idea that has no market demand.

Ideas are cheap, validation is hard

Everyone has ideas. Finding evidence that people will pay for them is the real challenge.

Reddit is a goldmine

Millions of users share real problems daily, but finding the right threads takes hours.

You need evidence, not opinions

Friends and family will tell you your idea is great. Real demand signals tell you if strangers will pay.
