DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM / 04

ONE RECORD.
CLEAR CONTEXT.

IfSolved is built with TypeScript, React and Next.js, using Vinext and Vite for its Cloudflare deployment. A canonical JSON collection connects problems, possibilities, ideas and sources across the editorial pages.

WHAT MADE THE BUILD DIFFERENT

The public reading experience works from bundled content without database credentials. An optional Supabase/PostgreSQL adapter handles contributions, while tests check content links and provenance rules. Future research-agent contracts require sources and prevent agents from assigning themselves reviewed or verified status.

THE PLATFORM / 04

IfSolved is an editorial discovery site about what important unsolved problems could unlock. It connects plain-language explanations with possible future capabilities and ideas worth exploring today, keeping sources, limitations and uncertainty attached to the story.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPLORE

01Searchable possibilities with filters by area

02Plain-language guides to five open problems

03Idea seeds connected to present-day tools and research

04Linked sources, confidence labels and explicit limitations

FROM CURIOSITY TO A QUESTIONDISCOVER → UNDERSTAND → IMAGINE → CHECK
  1. 01DISCOVER

    Search the possibility map or filter by area to find a capability that interests you.

  2. 02UNDERSTAND

    Follow the connection to an open problem. Read the plain-language question and what still stands in the way.

  3. 03IMAGINE

    Explore a related idea and the tools or workarounds that make it worth considering today.

  4. 04CHECK

    Keep the sources and confidence level in view. An interesting connection is a starting point, not a verified outcome.

WHY IT EXISTS / A PLACE TO START

A QUESTION.
A NEW DIRECTION.

Research can feel remote from the things people want to make. IfSolved starts with that gap: a place for founders, builders and curious readers to explore why an open question matters, without having to begin with a technical paper.

WHAT IF.

SEARCH + EXPLORE

Search across the editorial collection and filter by area. Each possibility links a potential capability to the research behind it, with a confidence label rather than a promise.

02 / THE QUESTION BEHIND IT

GO BACK
TO THE
QUESTION.

PLAIN-LANGUAGE PROBLEM GUIDES

The initial collection covers P versus NP, the Riemann Hypothesis, Navier–Stokes, Collatz and Twin Primes. Each guide connects an approachable question with its status, possible implications and source material.

03 / IDEAS WORTH EXPLORING

AHEAD.

IDEAS, NOT ROADMAPS

A useful experiment does not have to wait for a breakthrough. Idea seeds explain a product concept, the tools that already exist and the barrier that still matters—so curiosity can lead to a more specific question.

ACTUAL WEBSITE CAPTURE
THE EDITORIAL BOUNDARY

POSSIBLE.
NOT PROMISED.

01 / SOURCES

Keep the trail.

Ideas point back to source records and related problems. Readers can follow the references and see the limitations instead of taking a headline on trust.

02 / CONFIDENCE

Say what is uncertain.

Known results, supported possibilities and speculation are different kinds of statements. AI-assisted wording does not become independent evidence, and an AI-generated proof is not formal verification.

03 / EDITORIAL CONTROL

Review before publishing.

The intended workflow gives people responsibility for publication. Research-agent interfaces are groundwork for future proposals, not an autonomous discovery or publishing service running today.

BUILT TODAY / ROOM TO GROW

The live site can be browsed from its bundled, source-linked collection. Contributions use optional server-side storage; when storage is not configured, the form explicitly identifies a demo receipt rather than claiming the suggestion was saved.

FOLLOW THE QUESTION

Explore possibilities, read the questions behind them and follow the sources. IfSolved is a working editorial site in development—not a problem-solving engine or a promise of the next breakthrough.
