Show HN: VDPR – I mine YouTube to find product ideas (great for digital too)

https://www.vdpr.ai/
1•j-sp4•2h ago
I built VDPR. You give it a niche and a video limit. It pulls transcripts, finds repeated problems and actions, and turns them into ranked product ideas with links back to the videos.

I made it for physical products (FBA-style), but it’s also good at digital ideas. Comments like “where is this?” often point to a missing directory. “What app/template is that?” suggests a template, plugin, or small SaaS. “Any step-by-step?” → course or guide.

Example: in a “home/pets” pass, interactive cat toys surfaced (100+ mentions across 23 videos) due to indoor boredom, night noise, and toy fatigue. Physical angles: quiet/night-mode, modular tracks. Digital angles: an apartment-safe gear directory with noise ratings, or an “indoor enrichment” guide.

What it does now (v1) • Search a niche, fetch transcripts, extract Problems and Actions • Propose ideas (physical + digital) and rank them • Show why an idea scored (provenance)

What’s next • Comment analysis • Advanced search filters (view ranges, include/exclude) • Light enrichment (Trends/SEO/Amazon signals)

Feedback welcome: which signals would you trust most? If you share a niche, I’ll reply with a tiny mini-report (2 problems, 3 ideas).
