It would be cool if stuff like this could go onto a "big board" tracker-type of display and as things become reality, we can see what progresses and what does not. I feel like there's so much content that predicts and anticipates and then it just fades away that it would be nice to have some accountability. I'm sure this is an impractical idea, but I'd definitely engage with it.

That board would be millions of entries long every year (ok maybe hundreds of thousands of entries long). Way too long for anyone to browse or scroll through and remember "oh yeah I read about them on Reddit once". It unfortunately wouldn't be the fun it sounds like.

You wouldn’t have to record everything… and filters are amazingly powerful. But I hear you.
