What r/sideproject keeps asking for
Recurring demands mined from the community's top posts this week, with the threads as receipts. Not invented: if it's listed, people are actually asking.
Honest testers and feedback for early demos
Many builders are launching demos and explicitly asking the community to try them and give blunt/usability feedback.
Getting users / marketing / making your product known
Posts repeatedly surface the struggle of turning a working project into a known product — people asking how others found users or showing growth and virality.
Monetization and finding first paying customers
Several posts focus on revenue — how to find the first paying users, pricing, and stories of reaching sustainable income.
Building AI/ML / 3D features and shipping them reliably
There are multiple technically ambitious projects (virtual try-on, model orchestration, 3D streaming) and builders want feedback, robustness, and production guidance.
Engagement through gamification and social mechanics
Several projects experiment with playful, social hooks (shared aquariums, live matchups, editable maps, voting) to keep users coming back.
