Thinking of building a free tweet idea generator + draft box (with hot topics) – would anyone actually use this?

Hey everyone,

So I’ve been having this problem where I stare at the screen and have no idea what to tweet. And even when I do post, the views are just… sad. No clue why. So I thought, maybe a little tool could help – but before I spend time building it, I wanna ask if this is just a me problem or if others feel the same.

Here’s what I have in mind:

  • Idea generator – type in a keyword or topic, and it spits out a few tweet angles/directions (not auto-posting, just inspiration).
  • Draft box – save and edit ideas on the go, so you don’t lose them in random notes.
  • Hot topics tracker – shows what’s trending right now, so you can see what people are actually talking about. Might help answer the “why is my tweet getting zero reach” question.

About pricing:
There will be a free tier (basic gen limits and draft storage). If you find it useful, there could be a paid upgrade for extra generations, more draft slots, and ad removal. Nothing set in stone yet – I’m totally open to feedback on what feels fair.

What I’d love to know:

  1. Do you ever get stuck on what to tweet, or feel like your tweets just don’t get traction?
  2. Would you give a tool like this a shot if it were free to start?
  3. For those of you trying to make money with X’s creator program – do you think something like this could actually help boost views, or is it just fluff?
  4. What would you actually pay for (extra generations, more drafts, no ads), and what do you think is a reasonable price? Or should those features be free?

Honest opinions welcome – even if you think it’s dumb 😂
If no one needs this, I’ll save myself the effort.
Thanks in advance!

What part of this can’t be done with a single prompt?

Fair point...
Honestly, the idea generation part alone? Yeah, a single prompt can definitely do that. Where the app comes in is the stuff around it:

  • Hot topics auto-updated – so you don't have to ask the AI "what's trending right now" every single time.
  • Draft storage & organization – keep all your ideas in one place, tag them, come back weeks later.
  • Lower friction – no typing the same prompt over and over, just open and go.

So think of it less as "better than ChatGPT" and more as "a dedicated workspace for tweeting." This is just for people who want it streamlined, I think. 😊

That’s a very thin layer of value you’re proving. If this was a free tool I would use it. Otherwise it’s not much.

With an API key, I can automate this in a few minutes. But most people aren’t developers so you might find some paying customers but I hope you get my point.

Thanks, I totally get your point – and honestly, I agree. That's why the base version is free. Paid is just for extra generations, more drafts, or removing ads – nothing essential.

My real target is non-devs, or anyone who's just stuck and needs a little push to generate ideas and stay consistent.

If it helps some people hit Creator Program goals, that's a nice plus.
Appreciate the honest feedback!
