🔧 Fix this

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

  1. A dashboard tool that tracks and verifies cancellation status across multiple subscription services.
  2. A browser extension that alerts users when a cancellation request has not been confirmed by the service provider.
  3. A standardized API protocol for subscription services to provide immediate, verifiable digital receipts for cancellation requests.
