To really fix the problem, you’d need two more apps:
OCR the contract text and reveal the meaning of the clauses and how common they are. Flagging for further review.
iOS already does OCR on all images now, just no comparative analysis.
Not exactly farfetched, could save everyone time, could be baked into the OS, nothing for indie devs to salivate over.
A reasonable response to the problem of “companies are trying to push dubious clauses in employment contracts” would be “make those dubious practices illegal and/or unenforceable”, or maybe “make obfuscated or hard-to-read contracts illegal and/or unenforceable”. Your response was instead, as in the linked comic strip, “let’s make an app to fix it!”.
I’ll sign a contract in California that contains a noncompete clause because I’m completely ignoring it, for example
Interesting we are just operating on different information to reach different conclusions
Mine is about empowering an individual as the other parts have either already happened or never will happen
