Developers struggle to identify and prioritize what to build next without clear market validation

Software developers and makers frequently waste months building features or products that nobody wants to pay for, lacking a systematic way to validate ideas before investing significant time. Current solutions like surveys and focus groups are expensive, slow, or produce unreliable feedback. Developers need a faster, cheaper way to test if a problem is actually painful enough that people will pay to solve it.
