here to validate my idea before I start grinding on it
by•
Hi everyone, I thought of an idea and want to know your thoughts on this
I wanna make a mobile app where you can add people as your guardians who will approve your social media screen time. Primary audience can be parents who can set time limit on their children's social media apps but anyone can do this. You can add your friends and they will approve your social media time
So tell me what do you guys think about this idea and what features would you like to have in this app?

Hey Muaz, sounds like an interesting idea, but I would be incredibly cautious about this from a data governance and ethics perspective. It can be done (and it has been done with mainstream apps with children's accounts), but giving access to somebody else's accounts remotely seems to be a risk. Things I would think about:
How would you prevent abuse of this feature? e.g., controlling relationships, bullying, isolating people
How can I as a user control the amount of power each person has on my account? Is there an 'emergency override' that I can use if something goes wrong?
How much control would I have over somebody else's accounts?
I hate to jump on the AI bandwagon, but maybe this could transform into a type of app that interrupts you doom scrolling or posting with specific tailored messages from an AI prompted to be like a friend?
