What was actually said
“Is there a tool to reconstruct my personal access/edit history across all Google docs I can reach — like 'opened doc X at Feb 10 10:00, edited...'”

Background and pain
The pain
Across a hundred shared docs you can't find what you changed last week: per-doc version history, no personal cross-doc timeline.
A buildable angle
The opening
A personal activity dashboard aggregating Drive change logs via Apps Script: one timeline of my reads and edits. Subscription for heavy collaborators.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "google docs / workflow" 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.
