For years, I've kept 'idea journals', but until now they've simply fallen into the black hole that is my notes.
Below is a distilled 'landing page' of some of these ideas and I hope that by sharing them it sparks something in someone who has the inclination to do something with them.
If you'd like to jam on them, reach out to me here, if you do decide to pursue them, please keep me posted on how it goes, if these things exist and I'm just out of the loop, tell me! :)
