🔧 Fix this

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

  1. A privacy-focused, ad-free open source location sharing app for families.
  2. A browser-based dashboard that aggregates location data from multiple native OS sources into one view.
  3. A subscription-based service that focuses on non-intrusive safety features rather than ad-supported tracking.
