A program that uses modern language processing to let you play old or new text-based games without the annoyance of their clunky interface. Especially if it also worked with voice so you could play it as you do other menial tasks.

An easy one I would do myself if I had more time. A calorie tracker that does not try to get you into a cult.
I think Parks and Recreation had the absolute most unrealistic time-scales. The things they could get done in an afternoon or evening was absurd.

The “real estate novelist” tells you he is not where he wants to be.
The solution is Ranked Choice Voting. Anyone can run and voters rank all the candidates. So if you put Stein (for example) first and she doesn’t get enough votes, your vote then goes to your second choice, and so on. It lets you vote the way you really want it to go, not just strategically.
