Ask HN: What kind of painkiller SaaS idea to build?

Posted by sahil423 on Tuesday July 21, 2026 @11:56AM
from the ask-hn dept.

The question is if you had only cursor pro and money to buy a domain and its last chance to build if not you will need to change your field or go back to your 9-5 , and this is your last chance , then what will you build ?

If you dont know , then what problems you are having that you think needs to have a soln in tech , that works too .

If this is your situation then go back to your 9-5 or change your field if you can - consider the full journey between where you are right now to this SaaS actually sustaining you in-lieu of a job or career. The time frame on that journey might be 6 or 12 months, or never. This is a lottery ticket at best and that's if you even ship a product.

The question to ask is, what are people still doing by hand? Then the trick would be to drill through the upper layers at which everyone has a different answer.
