The Opportunity

Spotted on Reddit · March 20, 2026

Claude freezes mid-task requiring manual clicks — developers are building workarounds showing clear demand for a polished paid tool.

Why these scores?

Demand (pain) scored 4/5 (very high) — how urgently people need a solution.

Willingness to pay scored 4/5 (very high) — evidence people would pay for this.

Market gap scored 5/5 (very high) — how underserved this space is.

Build effort scored 5/5 (very high) — feasibility for a solo builder or small team.

Who's Complaining About This?

Claude will chain through tool calls and then freeze with a Continue button. That button does nothing automatically so you have to sit there and click it every single time, mid-task, breaking your flow.

Willingness to Pay

Claude Code users are already on paid plans ($20-100/mo). Community already shipped OSS version with no monetization — clear gap for a polished paid product.
