There's quite a few opportunities I see from looking around in EA. I am doing direct technical work for EA right now.
EA CoLabs
EA CoLabs itself can be framed as a technical problem. It's the problem of optimally matching different skillsets to different projects to maximise utility. You could definitely tackle it from a fun technical perspective (say, using the Hungarian Algorithm for matching, and using the Australian Skills Classification to describe skills). These however are just my ideas. I may be currently too busy with other things to properly investigate whether this is feasible.
Certificates of Impact and EA Economies
There are a lot of interesting ideas in creating economies around EA. For instance, having people sell products where all proceeds go to charity. I have a friend who wishes to look into using technologies such as blockchain to track coins that can be used to purchase good where the profits end up to Effective Charities.
Improving Infrastructure around Cost Effectiveness Analysis
This is what I'm currently doing as direct work. Cost Effectiveness Analysis are not really done to a very high quality in EA spaces as yet, and it would be nice to see more analysis so that we can make more informed decisions. I see this as a major tooling opportunity, as the state of the art in this area uses excel and a lot of time. This may include improving on technologies like Guesstimate, or building entirely new technologies.
Improving Infrastructure around epistemics and forecasting
The next area I would highlight is that there needs to be better evaluations of things like Cost Effectiveness Analysis, or really any other important calculations or predictions. These evaluations often aren't really done, and I would love to see proper evaluations say for parameters in GiveWell's Cost Effectiveness Analysis.
If you are interested in any of these. Please reply/get in contact.
A friend uses https://tryshift.com/
Downsides: it's $99.99 per year, it uses a lot of RAM and I don't think it supports SMS
I think "matrix" is the keyword you want to search?
Hey @Alex Barnes,
As a follow up to this: the open-source community has since released Ferdium, a free desktop app that makes it much easier to view your services all in one place.
Is Ferdi what you're looking for?
Not sure if it covers all of your needs but I think franz can cover quite a lot.

Downside: it's 6€ per month if you want to add an infinite amount of services. The free version only covers three.
I personally have not used it but the people I know who use it seem to be quite happy with it. If you have any concerns about privacy: sorry I can't help you there because I don't use it and have therefore not looked into how it works :)
