🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A project management dashboard that forces users to map every weekly task to a specific long-term vision milestone.
  2. A decision-making framework template specifically for SaaS founders to evaluate feature requests against their long-term product roadmap.
  3. A peer-mentorship platform connecting early-stage founders to share and refine their product development heuristics.
