What everyday poker headaches would you like to disappear?

Hey everyone—long-time lurker here. I fell in love with poker at university when I was punting far beyond my means in a private 5/5 PLO dealer's choice game.

These days the professional-poker dream has settled into something more realistic: a few nightly MTTs on ACR and PartyPoker, plus the occasional 1/3 no-limit session at London casinos, all balanced around a nine-to-five career as a software developer.

I’m between jobs at the moment, which means I finally have time to build a side project.
I would love to understand the problems the community deals with away from the felt. Especially if they are addressable by software.

For example, what is the single most annoying off-table task you have to handle as a recreational or semi-serious player? Is it tracking results and hand histories, finding soft private games, or studying GTO spots without facing complicated solver menus? Or is it something entirely different that no tool has bothered to address?

Are there any ideas that you guys have that spring to mind? So far I’ve heard people say they want more accessible solvers (simple UI/UX) and bot/RTA detection.

Feel free to shit on these ideas, but would love some guidance on what members of the online and live poker community would be interested in. If the thread surfaces something useful, I’ll share the early prototype with this forum first.
