Effort
A few weeks

Urban professionals waste time checking multiple apps for commute times across different routes and transport modes. A menu bar widget aggregates live commute data from various sources, showing ETAs for all frequent destinations at a glance.

The widget integrates with maps and transit APIs, allowing users to personalize their dashboard with preferred routes and transport options.

Commute-conscious professionals pay a subscription fee for the convenience of consolidated, real-time commute data.

Start with a basic version supporting just car and public transit times for one city.

The biggest risk is API rate limits or shutdowns disrupting core functionality.
