NotBuiltYet– Open-source library of civilisation problems worth solving
an open-source, community-vetted repository of real-world problems that AI could solve but nobody's building yet. Each idea goes through a process: Someone identifies a real inefficiency — something that could be 10x or 90% better with AI The community researches market size, existing solutions, technical feasibility, and potential impact Domain experts vote, critique, and refine Ideas that survive get a viability score and a detailed blueprint — ready for someone to pick up and build Everything is MIT licensed. The goal is simple: give builders a head start on problems that actually matter.…

What it does
Healthcare, agriculture, energy, infrastructure — entire industries are waiting for someone to show up with AI and a blueprint. This is a community-vetted, open-source library of unsolved problems. Pick one. Build it. Move the needle. Someone spots a real-world inefficiency — something that could be 10% or 90% better with AI. They submit it as an issue on GitHub with context on the problem. The community uses AI to analyze market size, existing solutions, technical feasibility, and potential impact. Everything is documented openly in the repo.

Backlog – a public repository of real work problemsDec 2025 · worldsbacklog.com · ▲112AI has made building fast and cheap, but finding the right problems still feels hard. I built World’s Backlog (https://worldsbacklog.com ) to collect real problems directly from people working inside different industries. Contributors post workflow pain, others validate it, and builders can study severity, frequency, and willingness to pay before building anything. Would love feedback from builders and people who feel real pain at work.

Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
