The design of this app looks awesome, but I don't think we need more todo apps in the App Store. I have a huge list of app ideas with not enough time to implement all of them. Every few weeks I see one of my ideas, done by someone else, hit the top 25 of the App Store. If you're a talented developer there's much more creative things you could be buliding.

Sounds like you have a lot of great ideas. Can I have some? I'm a talented developer, but I rarely ever use apps myself, so I'm short on ideas. I'll buy you some beers if I make a few sales. :)

Sure, hit me up at my HN username @ gmail.

Startup request: Please, someone come up with a todo/productivity/project management system whose main feature is _motivation_ to use it, not just technical versions of paper todo lists. I don't know if the solution is necessarily technical. I've tried every major app and still rely on the visceral impact of post-it notes next to my computer to get things done. I'd love to switch to an app but nothing is actually mak…

We're working on it. Tweet us and I'll send you a link to sign-up for alpha access. http://twitter.com/whatscurrent

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yea, I agree that it is crowded. It is less of a simple to-do app and more focused on setting up location triggered reminders for your friends and family. But it is a hard space because it is such a polluted space. we are thinking of possibly pivoting it and using what we learned building it into a new service that focuses on needs of businesses in regards to setting of geofences.

Is that a real need? Lucrative?

We are exploring the market right now, we think that there could be need, we have already been approached by a couple of people.

I'd say stay away from trying to sell geo-fencing to businesses. Location triggering reminders is actually a pretty damn useful thing. I can't remember how many times I can't remember to do something until its too late. Unfortunately, this is something better built into a mobile device from the get-go, and not an add-on. If it was easy to set up, and did push or text notifications that would be nice. Getting the forg…

Yea I agree with pretty much most of what you said. Location triggered reminders are very useful and we are one of the only (if not the only) apps that allows you to create location triggered reminders and share them with friends and family. We think that this is what can set us apart.

We are researching the geo-fencing for businesses because we have been approached by one for setting up a service for their business, so we are looking into whether there is need for other businesses or whether this will just be a consulting job.

Am I the only one who sees a clear, functional difference between "todo" and "list" apps? Todo apps: Any.do, Orchestra, 2Do, Do It Tomorrow, TeuxDeux List apps: Clear, Cheddar, Listary I always keep one of each one my phone, because they serve entirely different purposes. While they both work by storing lists, there's a big difference for me between tasks and items in a list. When I'm tracking tasks, I want things or…

If you like apps with nice interface based on gestures check 30/30. In this app you create tasks and asign time for them. Something like pomodoro technique but time may vary.

[I downloaded any.do - like it!]

Only allows me the ability to create two lists for free? I'm not going to pay for a service that can be replaced by Post-Its and the bevy of other services/apps that do the same thing. Inability to sync lists with other users is another reason. Friendly UI but that's about it. Additionally - Product Marketing 101: If you're competing in a space with [hundreds of] others just like you, you need to have a shortlist of…

Plus, Reminders with its default list on (free) iCloud "magically" syncs with all your (Apple) devices. Reminders adds geo fencing, recurrence, and other great features. It's a surprisingly well designed competitor in this space.

Couple that with Fantastical on the Mac menu bar which now shows those same iCloud Reminders and you have a slick solution.
