Although I've yet to try Cheddar, I can see how the ability to use markdown and hashtags can make it a viable alternative to the "Reminders" app.

#13Rule #1 of a release announcement: don't assume we already know what your product is . Every time you fail to give a 1-sentence elevator pitch in your blog post, hundreds of potential customers say "meh" and hit the back button, taking their thousands of friends, family and colleagues with them.

#14Another blog that talks about an ambiguously-named product and provides no links to or descriptions of said product. I had no idea what Cheddar was after a couple minutes of skimming the blog posts.
What's wrong with navigating to the product's homepage to learn more?

Right, it makes it "simple to organize your life" or something. It still doesn't tell me what it does in a meaningful fashion.

Your main site mentions nothing about pricing. I'm assuming it's all free at the moment, will it always be, are ads part of the plan or will premium features be turning up later?

I had to click through the blog and try really hard to find out WTF the app is/was.

There's a video on the homepage that shows it in use. Showing something actually being used will resonate much better than stating a feature list.
