What software or hardware product do you wish existed that you are ready to use right now? How much would you pay? Any existing thing you wish worked differently?
Up to date information on Android/iOS alternative phones with a path to purchase. I want to know what the web browser experience is like, eSIM support for data, and Android app emulation performance. Most online information is from like 2020
A city map for cyclists that is updated and reviewed by other cyclists. How to get from A to B in a given city, the safest way possible, but with maps that can be edited like a wiki.
CityMapper is pretty good but there’s no way for me to correct a route because one stretch of it is actually a death trap that no one should bike on.
A distribution of the Genode OS that was usable as a daily driver.
A working realization of Memex, 80 years late in coming
I'd love to rent time on one of the machines AtomicSemi is building, I've got a chip I'd like to make, the BitGrid
Documentation for Free Pascal/Lazarus that was useable, alternatively a framework that replaces their existing documentation so that you could DIY parts of it without their weird build system.
Home use robot weed killer / puller. Does not need to be fast, but does should not need manual moving for each square foot. Although, if it was fast, I could drive it like a lawn mower speed that (even as slow as 1/4 pace) would be acceptable.
Here's a little snippet I was sent back when I ran a valleywide gossip group chat:
"dang had grown so rich, he wanted to retire. So he took me to his private channel and told me his secret: 'I am not dang' he typed into the IRC window. 'My name is... Microsoft Bob. I inherited this site from the previous dang, just as you will inherit it from me. The man I inherited it from was not the real dang, either. His name was Bill. The real Roberts has been retired fifteen years and living like a king in Santa Cruz.' Then he explained the name was the important thing for inspiring the necessary fear. You see, no one would fund a Series to the Dread Pirate Microsoft Bob. So we got off the Caltrain and into the Uber XL, we took on an entirely new entourage and he stayed on for awhile as chief mod, all the time calling me dang. Once the mods believed, he left the Uber and I have been dang ever since. Except, now that we're together, I shall retire and hand the name over to someone else. Is everything clear to you?"
On Facebook, if you use a web browser you can us this URL to see your friends posts in reverse chronological order, but there will still be ads. So that gets you 1/2 way there
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.

I guess the cat is out of the bag.
