Pattern of Pain Install Guide

Pattern of Pain shows you which customer problem keeps coming up for a business. You give it a website, and it finds the pain that repeats, shows you the evidence and tells you what to look into next.

The point is to build or sell against problems people really have, rather than guesses. Its creator is Hiten Shah (hnshah on X), who also made The Page. Evidence matters more than volume here, so a problem mentioned in many places by real users outranks one loud complaint.

It suits founders, product managers and consultants sizing up a market or a client. Read the evidence it links before you act, and follow the next step it suggests with real customer conversations.

  2. It searches reviews, forums and social posts about it.
  3. It finds that slow loading on large boards comes up again and again.
  4. It links ten examples as evidence.
  5. It suggests talking to teams with large boards next.
