Show HN: Validationly – Validate Startup Ideas via Reddit, Twitter and LinkedIn

Hey HN

I’ve been building a small tool called *Validationly*. It's designed to help founders and indie hackers validate their startup ideas before writing a single line of code — by checking what the internet is already saying.

The concept is simple: You type in your idea (e.g. “AI meeting assistant”) and Validationly pulls related signals from *Reddit*, *Twitter*, and *LinkedIn*, then analyzes the volume and tone to generate a *“validation score.”* You also get a quick snapshot of trending discussions, pain points, and real user language around the idea.

What makes it useful: - No more guessing if your idea is “worth building” - Helps avoid the build trap before you spend weeks coding - Bonus: It even drafts a *tweet* and a *Reddit post* based on your idea — ready to share for feedback

I built this after running into the same loop: idea → excitement → build → launch → silence. So instead, I wanted a way to quickly test if anyone was already talking about a space — and if there’s real demand.

Still in early stages, looking for *feedback, brutal honesty, or ideas* on what you'd want next.
