Backlog — 10x ideas considered and deprioritized (with rationale) #51

Description

@HamadTheIronside

Captured so nothing is lost. These surfaced during the 10x product-vision analysis but were deliberately not prioritized — each is real but either off-client, niche-of-a-niche, or protocol-blocked. Recorded here with the reason; can be promoted if constraints change.

Parked — high cost / low reach

  • On-device Whisper subtitles & live translation. XL effort; ships on only ~3 of 6 targets; model weights are huge; slower-than-realtime undercuts the "live" promise. Server-side subgen is the better home for this.

Parked — requires a NEW server plugin (separate, slower track)

Driftfin already has one optional plugin (integrations config, #37), but these need new server-side work and can't ship in the six-platform client alone:

  • Democratic / party queue (shared voteable queue).
  • Household activity feed (cross-user data is admin-gated in Jellyfin).
  • Segment write-back — crowd-sourced intro/credit markers. Jellyfin's /MediaSegments is GET-only by design.

Parked — protocol-blocked as specified

Already tracked elsewhere (not duplicated)
