Show HN: ProblemHunt – A place to collect real problems before building startups

Hi HN,

I’m a solo founder. I built ProblemHunt after noticing a common pattern: many founders start with ideas and solutions, but don’t spend enough time understanding real problems.

ProblemHunt is a simple place where people share problems they actually face in work or life. Developers and founders can browse these problems and use them as a starting point for building products.

So far: – ~5,000 users – 150+ real problems submitted – 100% organic growth

This is still early, and I’m trying to understand if this is genuinely useful.

I’d really appreciate feedback: – Would you use something like this? – What feels unnecessary or confusing? – What would make it more valuable?

The idea is interesting, but I don't think it will take off. I saw someone try something similar here about 10 years ago — it didn't fly. Perhaps the issue is that people aren't fully aware of their problems.
