    The wall around viewing an item is too heavy handed IMO.

    Use verified email (or magic link) to auth for posting and actions (validating). The posts themselves should be public.

    You’d also get some SEO opportunities from more public pages.

    Nice idea, sort of like the inverse of Product Hunt.

    1) it seems aggressively walled off by login/singup, e.g. one must signup or login just to view the details of a problem.

    2) there is a variation of this in the corporate world where “innovation” consultants try to pitch corporate clients on the idea of featuring business problems to a panel of startups. There are a few problems I’ve seen with this model but the most applicable is, people most passionate about a problem set aren’t always the decision makers to procure or fund the solution.

    3) have you thought about how to make this a functioning market? It seems like you need to attract builder to work on these problems and subject matter experts to document the problems more deeply than the top level titles.

      Looks cool but I have to pay for features I don't want. I just want to see the current issues companies are facing, no need for AI gunk + extra data I have no idea about.

    Great idea! I would n it differently, tho - many of "problem owners" might not be aware of the term backlog.

    Yes please, this is a great idea. I feel like the key is to promote it among non-builders.
