At the time of writing, the Odilia screenreader is not far enough along to either benchmark or implement these features, but I just need to write them down before I forgot why it was a good idea.
I think, personally, that a small string buffer for practically-sized strings would be ideal, as this could also speed up potential addons (think control+f but for an entire GUI application, not just the web) and this would still approach fair RAM usage and impeccable speed---although I do understand that this view may go a little far for the other two developers working on that project. We'll see.
## 14. Local Driver
A random idea I had at an airport.
I have a friend that always says "I think capitalism and socialism both work, but only on small scales."
I was thinking about that and an idea came to mind: why isn't there a rideshare app that allows you to connect to local drivers, but a local business manages the infrastructure for that area.
Take, for example, Vancouver, Canada.
A corporation in Vancouver could run a local business which uses an open-source piece of software to handle ridesharing within the Vancouver area (including Richmond, Surrey, New Westminster, and Qoquitlam).
The corporation to initially develop it will license it for use with their application and domain (think: sea.localdriver.com, yvr.localdriver.com, yyz.localdriver.com) so that only one application and one website needs to be used.
Even at 10% per ride as an "off the top" for the company creating it could be profitable.
Not exceedingly profitable, not venture capital and investors profitable,
but it could support a small team, I'm sure.
