Ask HN: What do you want to see built?

A successor to par2 that works cross-platform, is maintained, works with UTF-8, works with directories, works with thousands of files, and is a single binary.
I don't care about the specific code, Reed-Solomon, LDPC, whatever, just something to easily shield my files from bit-rot (aka soft errors).
pyFileFixity, rsbep, par2, par3, QuickPar, MultiPar etc. are not the solution.

Most people here would only suggest things that they couldn't build, otherwise they'd probably build it themselves.
It might be better to look inward... Find a pain in your life and try to build something to reduce that pain
So, maybe a site to find/submit projects to build?

An intuitive, intelligent performance debugging tool that works for any programming language.
A similar tool that finds common errors like race conditions, missing null checks, etc.

just saw this app on the front page https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21013117
not sure if it's been made yet, but it occurred to me that a much better version can be made now with on-device ML based OCR. Clearly there's a large user demand.
A simple game where you get to kill time :)
What itch/problem do you want to see go away or what solution do you want to see built ?
or to put it in reverse, if you had 5 days, what would you build ?
