Job seekers routinely apply to positions and receive no rejection, only silence, while the job listing stays live for months. GhostWatch monitors the URLs of job postings you've applied to, detects when they go offline, get reposted under a new ID, or are modified, and sends you a notification with context. A simple browser extension captures application URLs automatically as you apply, feeding a personal dashboard that gives you closure and strategic insight. ## Monetization Strategy Free for up to 10 tracked applications; $5/mo for unlimited tracking, alerts, and historical insights. ## Requirements - Category: Productivity - Difficulty: Weekend - Suggested stack: Next.js + localStorage or Supabase + PWA Please help me build this step by step.

I want to build an app called "GhostTrack". ## The Problem Job seekers apply to roles and receive only silence, with no way to know if the listing is real, already filled, or a ghost posting kept live indefinitely. ## Target Audience Software engineers and tech workers actively job hunting ## Core Idea Automatically monitor job listings you applied to and alert you when they are edited, reposted, or quietly filled. GhostTrack watches job postings you have applied to and sends alerts when listings change status, get reposted with new dates, or disappear — giving applicants signal about whether a role is genuinely active or a ghost listing. The founder of a similar tool described building it after being ghosted repeatedly and discovering listings stayed live for months with no feedback. Applicants can finally understand whether to keep waiting, follow up, or move on. ## Monetization Strategy Freemium — free to track 5 listings, $6/mo for unlimited tracking and weekly insight reports ## Requirements - Category: Productivity - Difficulty: Weekend - Suggested stack: Next.js + localStorage or Supabase + PWA Please help me build this step by step.

I want to build an app called "HumanMark". ## The Problem Now that any text can be AI-generated, there is no reliable way to prove authentic human authorship, creating trust crises in academic, professional, and creative contexts where originality matters. ## Target Audience Freelance writers, students, journalists, academics, and professionals who need to prove their work is authentically human-written ## Core Idea Writing provenance tool that cryptographically proves which parts of a document were written by a human versus generated by AI. HumanMark is a writing editor that cryptographically timestamps and signs every keystroke session, producing an auditable provenance trail showing exactly when and how each paragraph was created. For educators, clients, or employers who need to verify authentic human writing, authors can share a verification link that replays the document's creation process. Unlike AI detectors that guess after the fact, HumanMark creates tamper-proof proof at the moment of writing. ## Monetization Strategy Freemium with free tier for 5 documents/month, $8/month pro for unlimited documents and verification badges, $49/month for teams ## Requirements - Category: Productivity - Difficulty: Week - Suggested stack: Next.js + localStorage or Supabase + PWA Please help me build this step by step.

I want to build an app called "Provenance". ## The Problem Now that any text can plausibly be AI-generated, writers, academics, and professionals have no credible way to demonstrate that their work is genuinely human-authored, eroding trust in written communication. ## Target Audience Freelance writers, academics, journalists, and professionals who need to demonstrate writing authenticity ## Core Idea A writing app that creates a verifiable, time-stamped audit trail showing exactly how a document was written — human keystrokes vs. AI insertions. Provenance records every editing event as you write — keystrokes, paste events, AI completions, and edits — and produces a shareable replay and summary showing the human-to-AI contribution ratio. As AI-generated text becomes indistinguishable from human writing, professionals, academics, and journalists need a way to prove authenticity and build trust with readers and employers. Documents get a public verification link that anyone can inspect without needing an account. ## Monetization Strategy $7/month for unlimited documents and public verification links; free tier with watermarked exports ## Requirements - Category: Productivity - Difficulty: Week - Suggested stack: Next.js + localStorage or Supabase + PWA Please help me build this step by step.

GhostWatch monitors job postings you've applied to and alerts you when listings go down, get reposted, or have been live suspiciously long. It helps job seekers distinguish between genuine ghosting and jobs that are simply slow to close. A simple dashboard shows application status alongside listing activity, reducing the anxiety of silence after applying. ## Monetization Strategy Freemium — free for tracking up to 10 applications, $5/month for unlimited tracking and alerts ## Requirements - Category: Productivity - Difficulty: Weekend - Suggested stack: Next.js + localStorage or Supabase + PWA Please help me build this step by step.

GhostJobs scrapes job boards to detect listings that have been live for unusually long periods or reposted repeatedly, which are strong indicators of fake or already-filled positions. When you paste a job URL or upload your applications, it scores each listing for legitimacy and alerts you if a role you applied to was likely never real. It also tracks which companies historically ghost applicants after interviews, helping job seekers prioritize their efforts. ## Monetization Strategy Freemium with free tier tracking 10 applications, $9/month premium for unlimited tracking, employer analytics, and AI cover letter optimization ## Requirements - Category: Productivity - Difficulty: Week - Suggested stack: Next.js + localStorage or Supabase + PWA Please help me build this step by step.
