Ask HN: What could I build to make your life a little easier?

Any tools, processes, websites that you use but are lacking something?

Any tools you wish existed and you have no time to build?

I'm building stuff for fun, might as well build something useful...

A places bar editor for Win11 Mellowware has one for Win10, but he's not updated anything in a very long time.

I know we can edit the choices these with regedit, but it's a pain in the arse for many and a small utility should do it. Much documentation about the registry stucture for this topic.

Here is an image for clarity

A TurboTax-quality tax filing service for American expats with American investments who live abroad (particularly interested in a few European countries) and have to file in their country of residence and declare the income from such investments. I would pay $1-2k a year for a service like that, as I prefer to do things myself than relying on a CPA who will inevitably mess things up.
