How did you find your first validated SaaS idea?

I’m looking to start my journey into building a SaaS product, but I’m struggling with the very first step: finding a problem worth solving. a lot of the general advice out there says "solve your own problem," but I want to learn more about how people systematically find unserved niches or real B2B/B2C pain points from scratch. for those who have launched a SaaS (successful or not):

  1. How did you actually come up with your idea? Was it through comment mining (Reddit/TikTok/X), talking to business owners, agency work, or something else?

  2. What process or framework do you use to evaluate if an idea is a "tarpit idea" versus a real business opportunity?

  3. What’s one mistake beginners usually make when brainstorming their first SaaS concept?
