What could I build to make your life a little easier?


Any tools, processes, websites that you use but are lacking something?

Any tools you wish existed and you have no time to build?

I'm building stuff for fun, might as well build something useful...

A places bar editor for Win11 Mellowware has one for Win10, but he's not updated anything in a very long time.

I know we can edit the choices these with regedit, but it's a pain in the arse for many and a small utility should do it. Much documentation about the registry stucture for this topic.

Here is an image for clarity

A TurboTax-quality tax filing service for American expats with American investments who live abroad (particularly interested in a few European countries) and have to file in their country of residence and declare the income from such investments. I would pay $1-2k a year for a service like that, as I prefer to do things myself than relying on a CPA who will inevitably mess things up.

Deep Scam:

Deeply analyzes product reviews on Youtube and filters out clearly bought influencers or contrarian reviews that are clickbait. Also useful for bandwagoners who ride a trend and talk about a trending topic without have long term interest in it.

A means of posting on Reddit for those permanently banned.

I've been banned from using Reddit for years, and each time I create a jew account or use a different device I get suspended immediately. I don't even know how I'm getting caught for "ban evasion" lol.

So a tool to make me post on Reddit and comment, lol. I don't even know how it would work.

Debt pile visualizer...

The financial advise tends to be to pay off your smallest debt first, even if the interest is low, because it will give a mental boost...

So yeah the website would ask you to list your debts in order. (Student loan, car loan,...) And the interest rate.

Than it would make a (not too depressing) visual and ask you how much you can pay per month.

Bonus points for using Google sheets as a backend.

But main thing would be that people would be able to get helpful reminders / tips.

"You've saved yourself 500$ over the next 10 years, keep up the good work".

Christmas time "If you got a Xmas bonus and can double your loan pay off this month you'll speed up your debt freeness by 2.5 months"

"Did you know:A Starbucks frappucino cost 0.55c to make, and in ventti size costs 8$ and 400kcals (more than 2 ice creams). The coffee of the day cost 0.40c to make and cost 3$ and 10kcal. Caffeine the same.

Anyway v 0.1 probably only takes a day to make.

Cool initiative good luck
