I kept having "I wish there was..." moments --ideas for tools or apps I wanted but couldn't find. I figured other people probably did too, and somewhere out there a developer was looking for exactly that kind of signal. So I built a site to connect the two.

iwishtherewas.xyz is a community board where you post wishes for products or apps you want to exist. Each wish includes what you'd be willing to pay (or if you want it free). Other people upvote, leave comments, and can flag existing solutions that already solve the problem. Builders can browse wishes sorted by votes or discussion to find real demand.

You can post anonymously or sign in for a profile with an avatar. There's full-text search, threaded comments, and upvoting. Stack is Next.js 16, React 19, Supabase on the backend, Tailwind 4, deployed on Vercel.

It's early and the content is still thin, but I'd love for people to try posting wishes and see if it's useful. Feedback on the idea and execution is very welcome.
