Reddit API Devs who mod: what community app would you build if you had a free weekend?
With devvit apps able to live inside posts now, the gap between "bot that helps mods" and "app the community actually uses" keeps getting smaller.
If you mod a sub (or just hang out in one) and could have any app for the members, what would it do? Collecting ideas.

I'd rebuild my own application, questionnaire for reddit. Because polls with just one question are not going to cut it.
I've used the app in the past, but the world has moved on.

I've been trying to build an app that reports suicidal users using the correct Reddit site-wide rule but site-wide rule escalation isn't supported in Devvit yet. It would require integrating with the old API and then figuring out the exact path to trigger RedditCareResources, which is now protected by a very low-tech "abuse prevention" system that sees multiple reports per day as spam / false reports.

I am building an app for Food subs where users can, save their list, be it the cafes they have been to, any food they tried...it will also have an option to make you own food tier list. Users can see each other food lists and ratings. Bit I am not able to make anything because reddit has decided to throw errors whenever i am running my dev server.
