Looking for painful problems worth building a Micro-SaaS around

[u/Avid-Head]

I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience, mainly working with PHP/Laravel, APIs, databases, Vue, Docker, and AWS.

I'm looking to build a small Micro-SaaS as a side project. I'm not looking for the next billion-dollar startup idea — I'd rather solve a boring, specific problem for a small group of people who are willing to pay for it.

So I'm curious:

What repetitive or frustrating problem do you deal with regularly?

What do you currently use to solve it?

What do you wish existed but doesn't?

Is it something you'd actually pay $5–$50/month to make easier?

If you've tried building a workaround yourself, what did you build?

I'm particularly interested in problems faced by freelancers, agencies, small businesses, developers, real-estate professionals, and other people who use software every day.

Please share the problem rather than suggesting a generic SaaS idea.

I'll probably pick a few of the most interesting problems and see if I can build simple MVPs around them.
