#12> the app phones you, texts you, or emails you (or all three) at the right moment My instinct would be to get rid of this granularity and automatically notify every contact method that a user has set up. I might even require more than one at signup. The problem that most people who’d use this kind of thing have isn’t missing reminders as much as ignoring them.

Lol what's going to stop that type of person from just marking the task completed then? which is the equivalent of ignoring the reminder

#13I do this through calendar notifications but I agree that there isn't as much granularity, such as "ping me X times a week but once I finish a task, stop pinging me." Calendars don't keep track of that kind of state and thus aren't well suited to this kind of productivity tracking. I'm building something in the same space [0], the landing page is outdated but the version in my head is similar to your idea, as a mobil…

-snooze 5 min
-snooze until tomorrow etc

I mean...nothing? If someone is determined not to do something, that can't really be helped.
What you can help is the out of sight, out of mind problem - "got it, I need to do this..." followed by four hours of totally unrelated Wikipedia deep-dives, after which the reminder is forgotten.

#15How is this better than creating a reminder in a calendar app or something?
Great question! The closest thing I've found to this app is simply adding reminders as events to Google Calendar and setting up email notifications for each one. I'd say nudges is better in these ways right now:
- Phone call notifications have been quite powerful in practice. I miss push notifications all the time, but a phone call is harder to ignore.
- More powerful scheduling: some filters aren't possible to create (like "last day of month") in the Google Calendar UI

Apologies, this should be fixed now.

#17Thanks to everyone who has checked this out! This is the first real app I've launched on HN, and it's a great feeling to know people are using something I've made. :)
To anyone who wants to give the phone call/text messaging features a shot asap, you can use the code NUDGESHN for 3 months free on a Pro plan.
For the record, the free plan doesn't include any call/text credits at the moment because I'm worried about my phone provider disabling my account over spam if I allow this for free accounts.

The temptation to make it perfect and build out a large feature set first is real and paralyzing; I doubt I would've gotten anything out the door if I didn't cut scope.
This took a bit longer than your project (initial commit on Oct 16, I just checked), but I still cut a ton of stuff I'm excited about building. How are you managing scope for your project?
Regarding pricing, I haven't really given it too much thought yet, and the current numbers are essentially just placeholders. Thanks for the feedback, and good luck with your project!

#19Way overpriced
Thanks, this is useful feedback. The pricing isn't set in stone, and I haven't given it much thought so far, to be honest. Do you have any thoughts around what a more reasonable price point might be?
In addition, I'd encourage you to give the app a shot using the NUDGESHN promo code (3 months free on the pro plan); I'd love feedback on more than just the pricing page!

#20Way overpriced
IMO price points are OK (guy needs to make some money!) but included text messages is way too low.
Since email is just as good (get phone notifications of it!) I can see a lot of people sticking on free because of this.
