Please make a simple yet powerful video editing native app (macos) that doesn’t suck and doesn’t require a degree to make all the basic stuff that a youtuber needs.

Closest thing is screenflow, next (much farther away in “suck” department) - camtasia.

I want a product that helps me choose the right health insurance plan based on a set of questions, or even a list of preferences, including who my primary doctor, dentist is etc.

I doubt anyone can build this reliably though. The incentives are simply not there and it isnt an interesting hobby project either

I want a real life version of Memex[1]. In particular, I want to be able to ingest all of my web pages normally, then refer back to their offline local copies at some future date, and spit out a complete ready to use copy on demand.

Copyright and disk space limitations be damned.

I want to monitor specific sections of German law for changes. I used Wachete but Gesetze im Internet is now blocking it.

I would love to subscribe to changes for sentences, paragraphs or sections and get the a diff when it changes.

I would also like to get API-like access to certain values placed in those sentences, to use them as infrequently updated constants in my code.

There is an official initiative for a legal API but it's been in limbo for a while. It was supposed to be released last Spring but I can't find any updates nor get a response from the project lead.
