🔧 Fix this

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

  1. A transparent appeal dashboard that displays the specific policy violation and allows users to submit evidence to contest automated bans.
  2. A third-party verification service that allows job seekers to verify their identity once and share that status across multiple job platforms without re-uploading IDs.
  3. A browser extension that tracks job application history and account status across multiple platforms to help users manage their job search if one platform blocks them.
