Why this matters: โข 90% of startups fail - often because they solve imaginary problems โข The best ideas come from real people complaining loudly โข Now you can tap into this signal daily
Perfect for: ๐ Solo founders looking for their next project ๐ฉ๐ป Product teams validating market needs ๐ค Developers wanting to build something useful
Try it now and see what problem you get on first refresh! Would you build the solution?
NodeBB RandomProblem.devNodeBB is recommended for businesses, communities, and developers who require a customizable and real-time forum solution. It's particularly suitable for tech-savvy users who want to leverage Node.js and those looking to integrate forums with existing web applications.

RandomProblem.dev's answer:
Why does this exist? Because too many startups build solutions no one asked for.
I kept seeing founders (myself included) waste months on ideas that sounded cool โ but had no real demand. Meanwhile, people are screaming their problems online every day โ especially on Reddit.
RandomProblem.dev surfaces those raw, unfiltered painsโso you
Itโs the tool I wish existed when I started.

NodeBB is a next-generation discussion platform that utilizes web sockets for instant interactions and real-time notifications. NodeBB forums have many modern features out of the box such as social network integration and streaming discussions. NodeBB is an open source project which can be forked on GitHub.
I was lucky enough to stumble on NodeBB in the early days right as we were transitioning a large user base from another forum and needed a platform that could handle the volume and speed of interactions that our users demanded. We took a big risk on NodeBB in 2014 when it was brand new and it has paid off in spades over the years. For seven years our users have consistently raved about ease of use and performance of the platform while on the back end we have been thrilled with the ease of management and low resource needs of hosting even for a site hitting hundreds of millions of hits per month. It is modern, regularly updated, has a great community and team behind it. We've always gotten lots of support and know that we made the right choice and continue to choose NodeBB as our forum of choice.
Based on our record, NodeBB seems to be more popular. It has been mentiond 4 times since March 2021. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.

> I'm a big fan of https://nodebb.org/ TIL to what shit Netgate moved pfSense forums to. I'm glad you are fine with it, but not only my FullHD monitor is not a smartphone, so I don't need 400% fonts on everything (and post dates on the faaaaar right clearly shows nobody ever even used the forum) and most importantly - search doesn't work. It's not like the previous forum had a good search, but at least it worked.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
I wrote about this a while ago for Slack/forums: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3451 but the points still hold. HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29154216 Full featured OSS forum you can self-host or let them host for you (for $). Big fan of letting people use the search interface they want, which is almost always Google. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
You said it's based on. This means that there are modifications to the implementation of nodebb. So where is your modifications' source code then? stackfoss/stackfoss is just a single readme file. Source: over 3 years ago
