# life guide

a guide for practical life skills — how to do taxes, apply to programs, etc. nuggets of wisdom that are super useful but scattered. acknowledged issue: "runs into advice issues" (liability, individual circumstances). could try crowdsourcing. "similar to some other forum things? e.g. reddit with r/lifeadvice."

**spreadsheet evaluation:** originality 4/10, excitement 4/10, MVP 2-4 weeks. competitive landscape: WikiHow, Reddit (r/lifeprotips, r/personalfinance), Adulting.com, and various life-skills sites exist — advice quality problem is real but crowdsourcing makes it Reddit-like, hard to differentiate without strong curation or AI synthesis. content curation is the product not the tech. competes with ChatGPT/Claude for most queries. tech depth 2/10, labeled [ARCHIVE] ("content/community, not tech").
