What kind of forecasting tools do you need?

I might have the opportunity to request something small to be developed in the future, and I was wondering what kinds of things are missing in the forecasting sector? As forecasting becomes increasingly important across various fields, having the right tools can make a significant difference.
Personally, for example, I would love to have a tool to create a dashboard of publicly available forecasts on different platforms. This could help in comparing predictions from various sources and tracking their accuracy over time.
But I am very curious to hear what other things people need. What challenges do you face in your forecasting work? Are there any repetitive tasks you wish could be automated? Or perhaps there's a gap in the market for a specific type of analysis tool?

You might be interested in Metaforecast (you can create custom dashboards).
Also loosely related - on AI Digest we have a timeline of AI forecasts pulling from Metaculus and Manifold.

I am aware of Metaforecast, but from what I understood, it is no longer maintained. Last time I checked, it did not work with Metaculus anymore. It is also not very easy to use, to be honest.
