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

  1. A curated, community-vetted database of TV shows and films categorized by positive social themes and 'teen-engagement' scores.
  2. A browser extension that suggests high-quality, long-form video content based on the specific interests of a teen to replace short-form influencer content.
  3. A parent-teen collaborative media review platform where both parties rate shows to find common ground on watchable, value-aligned content.
