Find feature requests on Reddit by scanning communities for repeated complaints, workaround requests, and explicit phrases like “I wish”, “does anyone know”, and “why doesn't this exist”.
Reddit is useful for product research because people describe problems in their own words. The goal is not to treat one comment as proof. The goal is to find repeated patterns.
What to search for
Start with subreddits where the audience already talks about the workflow. Look for language such as:
- “I wish…”
- “Does anyone know a tool…”
- “Why doesn’t…”
- “Is there a way to…”
- “Feature request”
- “The annoying part is…”
What to save
Save the original phrasing, the context, and the repeated job-to-be-done. A useful research note includes the user’s words, the current workaround, and the product category they mention.
RequestHunt is designed to shorten this loop by helping product builders find repeated feature requests and pain points from public communities.
