Most Reddit lead tools post from accounts they control and buy upvotes. Threadscout is the honest version, built for dev tools: it finds Reddit and Hacker News threads where developers ask for a tool like yours, ranks them by buying intent, and drafts a reply you post from your own account, saying you built it. It checks each subreddit's self-promo rules first.Founding reports are hand-checked.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Anant, the maker of Threadscout.
Every day, developers post "what should I use for X?" on Reddit and Hacker News. If you build dev tools, those threads are your best customers raising their hand. But most founders either miss them, or they turn to tools that post from fake accounts and buy upvotes. That's a fast way to get your brand banned from the communities you need.
So I'm building the honest version:
🔎 It finds Reddit and HN threads where people are asking for, comparing, or complaining about tools like yours
📊 It ranks them by buying intent, with a one-line reason for each
✍️ It drafts a reply you post from your own account, saying up front that you built it
🛡️ It skips threads where a reply would break the subreddit's self-promo rules
Full transparency: it's early. During the founding period I check every report by hand before it goes out, so what you get is real threads for your product, not a canned demo.
🎁 For Product Hunt: drop your product's URL in the comments (or use the form on the site) and I'll send you 10 high-intent threads for it, free.
Founding members lock in $49/mo for life (first 50 only).
One question for you: where do your users actually ask for tools like yours? Reddit, HN, Discord, somewhere else? I'm deciding what to cover next, and your answers will shape it. 🙏

Threadscout was hunted by anant pathak. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
