Background and pain
The pain
More tools, worse silos. Linking beats centralizing for real workflows.
A buildable angle
The opening
A local-first linking layer: connectors pull items from each app, auto-link by person/project/time, with unified search.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "personal info / aggregation" and check which single step they actually cover.
- Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Stack Exchange, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
