Idea Reality Check
Have an idea for an app or tool? Describe it below. In a few seconds we scan GitHub and Hacker News to see what already exists. You get a score, similar projects, and three ways to make your idea different.
Scans GitHub & Hacker News · anonymous · no account
0 / 500What is this?
A free, no-login way to sanity-check an idea before you spend time building it. You type your idea; it scans GitHub and Hacker News for projects and discussion close to yours, then scores how crowded the space is on a 0-100 reality signal.
You get three things: what already exists (real, clickable projects), how busy the space is (the score + trend), and three ways to take your idea further: ideas aimed at gaps the scan found, so you can stand out instead of building another copy.
How it works
