Helping founders find ideas worth building and get them in front of the right people.

Building in public. Sharing what works.

Spent a weekends researching startup ideas. 47 tabs. 3 spreadsheets. Still not sure what to build.

To solve this, I'm building FounderSignal, an MCP server that pulls from TrustMRR, AppSumo, Product Hunt, IH, Reddit, HN, Youtube, and many more, ranking opportunities by real MRR + growth signals.

Ask your AI what to build. Get actual data back.

Early access.

@johnappscaler An MCP server that connects Claude (or similar) to real market data so founders can ask what's worth building instead of guessing from inconsistent data.

Current distribution: MCP registries, npm, GitHub. What am I missing?

True but timing matters.

Revenue before you have anything to show is very hard unless the pain is obvious and you can sell the outcome directly.

Waitlist is a weak signal. A waitlist where you talked to every single person and they described the exact problem you're solving is much stronger than most founders treat it.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

Stop asking AI to generate ideas and start looking at what's already making money.

TrustMRR, AppSumo, Product Hunt, etc. real revenue data from real products. Find a niche where bootstrappers are hitting $10-50K MRR with mediocre products and no clear winner.

That's your opening. I'm building a tool to automate this: https://t.co/4J9BgmsS1f

Phase 1 is the only one that actually matters and it's the one with the worst advice.

Asking Claude to generate ideas from training data is not research. It has no idea what's making money right now, what's growing, or where competition is thin enough to enter.

That's the gap I'm working on. https://t.co/4J9BgmsS1f

[CodedExit @codedexit]

Solid framework. Step 4 is where most people lose hours manually checking competition across 10 different sources.

That's exactly what I'm building FounderSignal for. An MCP server that does the competition and market analysis automatically so you can run through steps 4 and 5 in minutes instead of a weekend.

@MengTo The filter that money provides is underrated.

Free attracts everyone. Paid attracts people with a problem worth solving.

Even $1 changes the psychology completely.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

@marclou Free works if it's a lead magnet, not a product.

A free tier that gives the core value away never converts. A free taste that makes them want more does.

The problem isn't free. It's giving away too much.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

@aryanlabde Add "shipping things nobody asked for" to the reality column and it's complete.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

@Prathkum The difference is now the feedback loop matches the thought loop.

Before, you'd have an idea and spend 3 hours fighting syntax before knowing if it even worked. Now you know in minutes.

That changes what you're willing to try.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

@kirillk_web3 Because Claude is guessing from training data, not querying what's actually making money right now.

I'm building an MCP server that gives Claude access to live revenue data and market signals so the ideas it surfaces are backed by real numbers.

@360nerds Good framework. Most people skip checking if 10 others already spotted the same Reddit thread.

I'm building an MCP server that pulls competition data alongside pain points so you know if the gap is real before you commit.

@naitikchame There are thousands of ideas out there, the hard part is knowing which ones people actually pay for.

I'm building an MCP server to help you with that

@pcshipp it depends on your ideal customer profile (ICP) not on the type of software

[CodedExit @codedexit]

@marclou TrustMRR at $27K is interesting. That's exactly the kind of data FounderSignal pulls from to help founders figure out what to build next.

Congrats on the month. The portfolio approach works.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

I'm building an MCP server that connects Claude to live revenue data, growth signals and community pain points it doesn't have by default.

It queries real MRR figures, real growth trends, real founder complaints from most popular sites and communities (E.g. TrustMRR, Reddit, Google, X...)

@vibeliver I made $0 in May 2026.

FounderSignal: $0

But I shipped, distributed and learned. June will be different.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

This is one of the most honest and detailed breakdowns I've seen on here.

The affiliate partner move at 50% commission to get initial traction is underrated. Most founders try to own 100% of nothing instead of 50% of something growing.

The "upgrade early" insight is gold too. Limiting trial benefits so people feel the pull toward paid is a much smarter framing than just cutting trial days.

Thanks for sharing the raw version, not the polished retrospective.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

Been posting, building, and distributing every day this week with almost nothing to show for it in numbers.

No viral tweet. No flood of signups. Just slow, quiet progress.

This is the part nobody posts about. But it's also the part that compounds.

Trusting the process.

[CodedExit @codedexit]

@HussainIbarra Real validation is one thing: finding products already making money in that niche.

Not surveys. Not friends saying "great idea." Revenue.

FounderSignal pulls that data so you can ask Claude what's worth building. https://t.co/yIKsZSP5Sz
