We need to resolve this as our _highest_ priority
because it affects us every day.

## Why an Build a Mini-App for This?

We _currently_ use instant messages ([`signal.org`](https://signal.org/))
to ask questions like:
"_**Where** is `XYZ`?_"
when searching for an `object`
or
"_**Where** does this belong?_"
when someone wants to tidy an `object` away
but does not know where it goes. 🤷‍♂️

## Will Building Another App _Magically_ Resolve the Issue? 🪄

Of course not!
We aren't pretending that it will.
All we want is a _systematic_ approach to tidying
where everyone in the house/team can communicate
and get answers to the questions they have
in a timely manor
and most importantly,
have a _record_ of where things belong
so that when the question arises _again_,
the answer can be surfaced _immediately_.
Rather than having to continually ask the same question(s).

We know that _many_ other people
have the same problem(s)
and need a practical solution.

## Is there a "Market" for this App?

Most definitely, yes.
If we can build something that helps people declutter, donate and systematize their real world
the potential for revenue is significant.
