🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A third-party subscription management dashboard that verifies app store receipts and automatically triggers refund requests when services fail to activate.
  2. A browser-based tool for users to upload payment receipts that generates a standardized, trackable support ticket for app developers.
  3. A community-driven database that tracks the average response time and resolution rate of customer support teams for popular subscription apps.
