Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 4, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

IDWIW is an algorithm-free YouTube viewer that lets users decide what to watch via RSS feeds and a watch list, isolating them from YouTube's recommendation engine. It's interesting because it addresses digital wellness by creating a focused, intentional video consumption experience outside YouTube's engagement-driven interface.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, devops, data engineers
