Problemica

Know sooner. Move smarter.

Problemica is a web application that surfaces emerging problems from public online sources—like news sites and forums—turning raw conversations into structured, searchable insights. It's designed for people building new products, analyzing behavior, or scanning the landscape for what's coming next.

Right now, Problemica focuses on U.S.-based content and offers simple, fast filtering by date and category. It helps users identify and explore issues that are gaining traction—before they hit mainstream visibility. Instead of waiting for trends to explode, Problemica lets you catch the friction early.

Looking ahead, the app will grow into a broader market research platform, offering deeper insights, more filtering options (like location and source), and smarter problem scoring. The goal is to help anyone—from solo founders to large teams—track what matters, long before it becomes obvious.

Why It Matters

Problemica gives you a quiet edge in a noisy world. It listens at scale, picks up subtle shifts in what people are struggling with, and delivers early signals that others miss. It's not about hype—it's about clarity, timing, and better decisions.
