Background and pain
The pain
Abuse increasingly hides in attachments; moderators dig through directories manually.
A buildable angle
The opening
An attachment review console: thumbnail wall, sensitive-content detection, bulk actions.
How to validate it
- Read the whole thread and note the recurring scenarios — repetition is the density of the need.
- Search existing tools around "moderation / uploads" and check which single step they actually cover.
- Put up a one-line landing page, share it back to Discourse Meta, and see whether anyone asks about pricing.
