thinking about how Internet accessible US state level local things are probably an untapped niche. like I only use Facebook for local events, local news is largely dead in many places outside of random vaguely left-leaning wordpress blogs, most local industry is all using Amazon if anything at all.

but actually finding the local ones is often terrible even though they're out there.

and I bet there's untapped demand for things built to the needs of the locale instead of everything being mashed into accessible from anywhere, but the smaller companies just don't know how cheap sites have gotten and if they did they'd get buried by Google anyway

nevermind I'm reinventing yellow pages from first principles I guess

there's a news site in my hometown area that manually runs banner ads from local businesses, it doesn't even register for adblocking because they're just manually put there, it's local news and goings on, site still looks straight out of the 90s
