Huge volume of content
Poor organization, no verification, no annotations or timeline
Curated, verified, annotated, contextualized experience with strong community governance
The verification council of original fans creates a quality standard that competitors cannot match. The interconnected timeline and annotation data becomes uniquely valuable over time.
Physical memorabilia is being lost as original fans age. Digital archiving tools are now mature enough for a solo founder to build a high-quality experience. Indio's recent death created urgency to preserve everything while those who knew him personally are still active.
Copyright infringement on official recordings
Focus on fan recordings, interviews, and annotations. Implement strict takedown policy. Only host content that falls under fair use or with explicit permission.
Content moderation takes too much time
Start with small council of trusted fans. Use reputation system to scale moderation responsibility.
