Comment on Show HN: LazyMeter is the only to-do list you'll finish every day

Comments

This is eerily similar to the system I built and personally use. I never got around to polishing it off enough to release to the public. It is also based on a pen and paper to-do list, and taking things one day at a time.

In fact, your tagline is almost identical to mine. Instead of "Your To-Do List, One Day At A Time" mine is "Helping You Get Things Done, One Day At A Time."

It's not a surprise, and clearly your execution was better. Your landing page is great, as is the tour. The design does a great job of being simple and staying out of the way. I had a similar problem as you of most to-do list applications being really intrusive.

I also like the Productivity Stats, which is something I had not seen many other systems do. My program has very similar functionality. I also coded in the ability to estimate how long a time will take and track your actual time spent on it, giving one more data point to analyze.

Kudos to you for a great product and for launching! I'm definitely going to play with it for awhile, if nothing else than to get some inspiration to finish off my app. ;)

Thanks for the careful review - we'd love your feedback since you've obviously thought a lot about the topic. So glad you like the landing page - our conversion rate is over 33%.
