Idea checked

Hello! Your site, Shows Its Work, is great at identifying market gaps. We can help you capture more leads. Let's chat about a couple of ideas to boost your conversions.

The market is real, but this query mostly found generic lead-gen advice, not a sharp gap.

Confidence: medium — There was one stated want, 18 first-hand complaints, and 2 named projects, but the named competitors were either stale or unclear. Most signals were broad CRO content rather than direct evidence about this exact problem.

  • 76 signals collected
  • 14s to run
  • 2026-08-04
  • hackernews 30
  • github 8
  • githubissues nothing found
  • discourse 18
  • intent 1
  • stackexchange nothing found
  • registries 10
  • tavily 9
  • devto nothing found
3 sources came back empty — what that means
  • githubissues searched, nothing relevant found
  • stackexchange searched, nothing relevant found
  • devto searched, nothing relevant found

Treat the report as weaker where a source is missing. Nothing here was substituted from somewhere else to fill the gap.

Interest over time From data

Hacker News stories mentioning generation conversion leads (topic read as “lead generation”), by year — 27 in total, currently falling.

This counts discussion on Hacker News, not global search demand. For developer tooling the two move together; for a local service business they do not.

Competitor strength From data

Counted, not judged. Only projects that expose a hard number — stars, downloads, last commit — appear here, so they stop looking identical to each other. Products with no public metrics are discussed above instead of being given a row they cannot fill.
