TrustMRR lists 11,000+ startups with Stripe-verified revenue. It's the best place I know to find SaaS ideas that already make money — but browsing it is a trap. You scroll past the same cards, forget why you passed on something, and never actually decide.
So I built a small Chrome extension, IdeaPanner, that turns TrustMRR browsing into a workflow. One button — "Explain" — sends a startup's public profile to an LLM and returns a plain-language breakdown: who pays, how it makes money, where customers come from, whether a solo founder could build it.
Here's what the workflow looks like.
Mark, don't just scroll
- Mark every card Pass / Later / Dig in. Passed ones hide on your next visit, so you only see what's new.
- Explain any startup. The output isn't a generic summary — it's a verdict: the market, the customer's pain, the money, and a realistic "could you build this alone?" call.
- Compare your shortlist side by side, with MRR change since the day you marked each one.
Why this beats scrolling
The hard part of "find a SaaS idea" was never finding them. It was remembering what you looked at and why. IdeaPanner makes the browse itself decision-shaped: you leave each session with a ranked shortlist and a reason, not a vague "I should build something."
Try it
The extension is free to start (10 AI explanations/day, no key, no sign-up), or you can plug in your own OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It only runs on trustmrr.com and isn't affiliated with TrustMRR.
Install IdeaPanner on the Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ibjbnafobdhmofffmjfljclnofeibike
If you end up building something off a TrustMRR find, I'd love to hear which one.

Hey 思源, I read your post about the Explain button. I'm a solo founder too and stuck on the same problem with my own tool, so I'm curious: who's the one kind of person you'd most want using it right now?
