16 SaaS Ideas for 2026
16 problems worth a closer look, from micro-SaaS to B2B. Each one is written the way people describe it, not the way a category does — and each is a starting point for your own research, not a finished verdict.
How to read this list
These are editorial starting points, not results from Seek. 16 of the 16 entries below now carry a public thread someone opened and read, quoted on the entry page. None are left unread. All 16 threads come from Hacker News — one of the 8 sources a scan searches, and the only one this list reaches. That is what the product does, with your own product profile, and it is a different exercise from a list. Treat each entry as a question to go and answer, and use the steps below to answer it.
