It would be great to read reviews of my local Italian restaurants written by Italians only. Just spent the past 5 minutes thinking about what I’d call an app for this. Best I could come up with is Authentick.

I started r/changemyview in 2013 and tried to spin it out of Reddit, launching a standalone app in 2019 which ultimately failed. In hindsight, I think the move would’ve been to create a media business in this space.
