Show HN: Niche SaaS Idea Generator (opens in new tab)

Meta idea: Have a web-page like this that splashes random words to generate ideas and measure the click rate of users hitting the refresh button. The longer the pause, likely the better the idea, at which point you flag that as a potential good one for yourself.

This is barebones. What we also need is some market analysis and some SWOT analysis. I have been thinking of a crowdsourced website where each startup is profiled under the categories 1) SWOT 2)Market size 3)Competitors 4)what does it take to build MVP.

I think such a site will be valuable

The idea this generated for me is a "SaaS Generator" site. Rather than a random idea, user would select industry and service and business model, etc. and then click "generate my application". Generated app would have a polished placeholder responsive web site with multi-tentant IdP and drip email marketing and GA analytics Stripe and QuickBooks accounting, and ... - all the stuff you'd do for a SaaS business. Then add some copy and pricing and see if it sticks. Not not much Minimal Viable Product and "Minimal Viable Pitch". Generate a dozen businesses and then see which gets the most traffic. I think such a SaaS Generator site would be super helpful.

Good choice of app ideas and audience. I think i didn't get any complete nonsense, as it's often the case with similar generators.

Edit: If someone is interested in all the "ideas", just open the .js file and scroll to bottom.

A/B Testing for Churches! Convert more!

I must be honest, the red is hardcore on my eyes. Can you maybe make it a little less "intense" :)

The oppsdaily.com mailing list has been nice to get somewhat random/niche ideas from. (I’m not affiliated)

Congrats!

Why are the keywords underlined but not clickable??

Violates Basic web usage guidelines and is confusing!!

"CRM for Small Businesses" was the second one, kinda vague?

remind me of my old project :) https://mohdhazwan.github.io/instaniche/

If ideas had any value, they would not be given away.

Ideas have no intrinsic value.

It literally suggested my current company. Nice work.

you should add one more idea - 'Niche SaaS Idea Generator'

This is basically combinatorial contextless. A method of ranking and sorting the generated ideas is needed.

All the ideas are good to generate money, but bad for mankind and civilization. There's already too much vendor lock-in and ausence of communication between platforms.

We should aim for a single tool that would serve for all kinds of businesses. What's the difference between a CRM for salons and one for bookstores? Probably something that could be sold as a plugin, or -- if the underlying system is good enough -- implemented with a bit of custom code.

That's what Fieldbook and Airtable are trying to do, and I sincerely hope they succeed (although they're awful, the tool I'm building myself is much better).
