FAQ
Is this legal to use?+
PainScope uses Reddit's own public JSON endpoints — the same data anyone can see at reddit.com. No scraping, no login, no rate-limit tricks.
Does it use AI?+
No. It uses a transparent heuristic scoring model — pain phrases, question markers, engagement weight. Output is reproducible, which matters when you're making business bets.
Why not just browse Reddit?+
Reddit sorts by engagement, not by pain. A viral meme outranks a 12-upvote post that reveals a painful, underserved problem. PainScope re-ranks by opportunity.
Do you store my searches?+
No. Everything runs in your browser. There is no backend.
