Wanted: tools people are looking for

Real searches from people on this site and in ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor. Sorted by how many people asked. Build one and list it, and the people who search next will find you.

Nobody has built this yet

Searches where no tool came close.

Collecting. A need appears here once 3 or more people have asked for it, so no single person can be identified.

Exists, but doesn't fit

Tools came back, and people said none of them fit. Room for a better or more focused product.

Collecting. A need appears here once 3 or more people have asked for it, so no single person can be identified.

0 searches logged so far, 0 distinct needs (similar wordings are grouped). Only needs asked 3+ times are shown. Developers: the same list as JSON is at /api/wanted.

How this works

When a search here or in an AI assistant finds nothing, or someone says none of the results fit, we save only the need text (contact details stripped), a rough category and the date. To count people rather than clicks, we also keep a short code made from your IP address and a random key that is replaced every day; once the day is over the key is deleted, so the code can't be traced back to you or linked to other days. We never store the IP address itself, accounts or conversation content.
