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

  1. A privacy-focused app that allows users to set 'safe zones' where location data is blurred or spoofed for specific contacts.
  2. A mediation platform that helps parents and teens negotiate digital boundaries and privacy expectations.
  3. A browser extension or tool that helps users audit and manage permissions for all location-sharing apps on their device.
