How to use Business Hunter, start to finish.

Business Hunter has two layers: a weekly newsletter that delivers researched opportunities to your inbox, and an on-demand dashboard where you run Pain Radar on any niche yourself. Here's how to get the most out of both.

Part 1 β€” The newsletter
1

Subscribe with your email

No credit card, no setup. Enter your email on the homepage and you're in. You get a dashboard login automatically β€” one account for both newsletter and on-demand research.

Prefer Telegram? Join the public channel β†’ for opportunity previews, or the private Pro channel for full reports.

2

Your curated reports arrive automatically

Every week, Pain Radar scans 10+ communities and forums, selects the strongest opportunity it finds, and sends it straight to your inbox β€” already researched, scored, and ready to act on.

3

Read the report in this order

Every report follows the same structure. Once you know it, you can decide in under 5 minutes if an opportunity is worth pursuing:

1. The problem2. Evidence of demand3. Market size4. Demand score5. Competition6. Unit economics7. MVP blueprint8. Roadmap9. Validation10. Claude / Cursor prompt

Part 2 β€” The on-demand dashboard
4

Run Pain Radar on any niche, on demand

Don't wait until Monday. Open the dashboard β†’, type any niche or topic, and hit "Run Pain Radar". The engine scans Reddit, Hacker News, GitHub Issues, Stack Overflow, Quora, Google Trends and more in parallel β€” takes about 2 minutes.

Free plan: 3 on-demand scans per month. Pro: unlimited. Make your scans count β€” type real niches, not tests.

5

Use Advanced filters to cut noise before you scan

Click βš™ Advanced filters below the topic input and add exclude keywords β€” words that shouldn't appear in the signals. For example, if you're researching "AI tools for dentists" you might exclude "blog, tutorial, sponsored" to remove content farm noise before it reaches Claude.

6

Read the Sources panel β€” the real intelligence layer

Below your report, the Sources scanned panel shows every signal Pain Radar found: a Reddit post, a GitHub issue, a Stack Overflow question. Each one shows:

Platform chip Freshness: "4m ago" / "2h ago" / "3d ago" Open thread β†’ direct link

Filter by platform (Reddit / Hacker News / GitHub / etc.) or by freshness (< 24h / < 7 days) using the chips above the grid. Signals older than 24h are Γ‘mbar; older than 7 days are red β€” act on the green ones first.

7

Draft a reply with AI β€” one click, ready to post

Found a Reddit post where someone is asking about the exact problem you're solving? Click Draft reply β†’ on the signal card. Claude generates a short, natural reply adapted to the platform's tone β€” casual for Reddit, technical for Hacker News, helpful everywhere.

"Finding the signal is 20% of the work. The other 80% is actually replying before someone else does." β€” Eremia (IH)

Hit Copy, go to the thread, paste. Then click Mark replied so the card goes grey and you don't reply twice.

8

Save signals for later β€” don't lose good leads

See a signal you want to revisit but can't act on right now? Click β˜† on the card. It goes into the Saved for later section at the top of the sources panel and persists across sessions.

Pro subscribers can also export all signals as a CSV file β€” great for running your own analysis in Sheets or Notion.

9

Validate before you write a single line of code

Found an opportunity you want to pursue? Don't build yet. Every report includes a concrete validation strategy β€” not "do market research," but an actual test:

"Talk to 20 people who match the target customer. If 5 say yes and hand over their email β€” build it. That's enough signal."

Skipping this step is the #1 reason people build things nobody wants.

10

Track your pipeline in History

Every scan you run is saved in the History page β†’. For each report you can set a stage that matches where you are in the process:

πŸ‘€ Watching πŸ”¬ Validating πŸ”¨ Building πŸš€ Launched ❌ Passed

Filter by stage using the tabs at the top β€” so your active projects are always one click away. You can also star reports as favorites, export any report to PDF, and collapse/expand the full content inline.

11

Build with the ready-made prompt

Each report ends with a Claude / Cursor prompt β€” tech stack, database schema and feature scope already defined. Copy it, paste it into Claude Code or Cursor, and you're building within minutes instead of spending a week scoping the MVP.

Free vs Pro β€” what actually changes

Free is built to prove the quality, not to be a teaser with no value. Pro is for people actively hunting for their next build.

Quick answers

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The Claude / Cursor prompt in every report is written so AI coding tools can build most of the MVP for you. Plenty of subscribers are non-technical and ship with AI assistance alone.

How is this different from just asking ChatGPT for ideas?

ChatGPT generates ideas from training data β€” which means it generates whatever sounds plausible, not what people are actually paying for right now. Business Hunter pulls signals from real communities in real time (Reddit, HN, GitHub, etc.) and only scores an opportunity if there's verifiable evidence of demand. Every fact traces back to a real URL.

What if I miss a week?

Nothing is lost β€” Pro subscribers can browse the full archive of past opportunities anytime, and reports don't expire. Everything you generate in the dashboard stays in your History page forever.

Can I downgrade or cancel?

Yes, anytime, no contracts. You'll keep Pro access until the end of the period you already paid for.

Is the data real?

Yes. Every signal is pulled from live APIs β€” Hacker News Algolia, GitHub Issues API, Stack Exchange API, DuckDuckGo search β€” with real timestamps and direct links to the original thread. Nothing is invented.
