hi there, I have built meattheslop.hilarymoyo.studio/ for just this. I also had a hard time finding which idea was valid and which one was a waste of time.
What I did here was put together something that lets you know if there is an AI tool for it already so you save on building. The verdict has the full game plan with ghost competition and the subreddits where to find first users

Building whatever
I want to know if you have any kind of metrics on ideas validated on MeatTheSlop and then brough to life. Would be good to know if they perform. I really like the idea but at the same time I can't really trust these Idea validators 100% so I mainly validate actually talking to users via dms, scheduling calls, etc.

100%! There are currently 21 validation requests in the backend, the 3 founders that have reached out for a further deep dive are currently working on the pivot. There are different north star metrics for each case of success. The chrome extension builder getting not just installs but sign ups and then conversions, dau vs. mau for the guy building a contract scanner etc.
It helps founders find the better trajectory and not just a 100% good idea or 100% bad idea.
Solo indie founder building and shipping SaaS. Always in public.
That's my biggest weakness, Talking to people, dms. I need to learn 🥲
