How it works

From a raw signal to a published idea, with a short market take on each.

  1. 01

    Search

    Web search across Reddit and Hacker News for people describing a real problem or wishing for an app. Standard search only: no scraping, no headless browsers, no bot-protection bypass.

  2. 02

    Filter

    Drop the noise: spam, ads, and AI-generated posts pushing SaaS products. Keep genuine, human demand signals worth a second look.

  3. 03

    Structure

    A light read of each signal to note the problem, a possible opportunity, and the source. Anything already in the archive is skipped.

  4. 04

    Market analysis

    For each idea, Hermes searches the web for competitors, market, and pricing, then writes a short, honest market take.

  5. 05

    Publish

    Write the complete markdown file, idea and analysis together, into the repository. The next build publishes it, no manual steps.
