This type of question is meaningless. If you are curious the best way to find out is just build it and ship it. And see if people like it.
I'm not trying to be mean, I'm saying it's meaningless because:
1. It's not that hard to build an MVP nowadays (probably over a weekend)
2. This is more of a social problem than a technical problem. Which means people have no idea if they like it or not even if they answer "yes" or "no" to this question. From my experience most people who say "Yeah! I definitely want that!" never use it when you actually ship it. And more important part is that there are people who DO end up using it even if they didn't know they needed it before trying it out.
3. If it's easy to build it, and if the answer to this question doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, why not just build it, instead of giving it away as inspiration for someone else? You may end up putting this idea aside for now, just to come back in a month to see someone else submit this as "Show HN" and comment on it saying "Yeah I had that idea too..."

You can already do it so easily, so why would a company pay or use your specific software?
It sounds like the kind of idea that would end up being abused by management. Developers would end up hating it.
