During the curation, how do you deal with problems for which some solutions exist but that some users are not aware of yet? I would guess that social media will be so noisy with people complaining and thinking up tools/solutions. What level of signal-to-noise ratio would this service be able to manage?

Also, at least a preview of one week's newsletter would be appreciated.

I have some automation running but it's not fully automated, once I collect the problems I validate the idea researching if it's already implemented and if it would be a good idea to implement or not before sending it to your inbox. After that it will be you deciding to build it or skip.

I will share a preview in the landing page soon.

> We don’t offer trials or refunds.

$79 for lifetime, no monthly plans, no trial, take it or leave it.

Tough sell.

I will refund you if you don't like it after your first week :). I think I need to update that because I was planning to share all the previous ideas once you pay that's why I wasn't offering a trial or refund. Now it's only weekly you don't get previous ideas.

It may be useful to provide a sample newsletter as part of the FAQ to help others to get a feel for what to expect.

I have a question to that regard, are you just surfacing the "problem statement" in the newsletter or are you transparently providing the links to the SM sites that they were scraped from?

i love the idea of aggregating real problems from social media to inform side projects - it's a great way to validate ideas and make sure you're solving something that actually matters.

one thing i'm curious about is how you're handling the signal-to-noise ratio on social media - would love to hear more about your approach to filtering out the noise
