Niche Sonar

Niche Sonar is an AI-powered market intelligence tool designed to help you spot emerging SaaS opportunities early. It automatically collects discussions from Hacker News, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow, and Product Hunt, then groups related problems into clear themes.

Instead of relying on simple mentions, Niche Sonar ranks opportunities using a signal strength score built from engagement and cross-platform presence—so the most active, broadly relevant problems rise to the top. You get a live, ranked feed that refreshes daily.

You can export results via CSV on Pro and connect the data to your own workflow with a REST API on Premium. This makes it easier to turn market signals into idea validation, product planning, or research and analysis.
