Printing documents while traveling or away from home is a common pain point. Build an app that connects users to printers in convenience stores via QR codes, eliminating the need for USB drives or email transfers. Convenience stores like 7-Eleven already have infrastructure for this, but the user experience could be smoother. Start with a simple app that generates QR codes for PDFs and photos. The biggest risk is reliance on convenience store partnerships.
