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

Comments

I'm not sure that I see anything new or (edit:) more useful here, which is obviously critical in the landscape of to-do apps. What am I missing?

Like most people, I struggle to stick with one method and revert to pen and paper more often than not. One app I've had some success with is http://teuxdeux.com

LazyMeter is specifically built for people that keep returning to pen and paper after trying the various task managers. We are faster than pen and paper, and more rewarding. The problem with to-do lists is they're overwhelming. No matter how much you do, there's more to be done. We've built an experience around feeling better at the end of the day. We show you how much you do, and we provide a method to complete your to-do list every day. The secret is in the pause button, which pushes a task to tomorrow. LazyMeter is also simple: we don't ask for fields like priority, context or deadline.

So the progress bar is the main point of difference?

We have a full list of what makes us different here: http://blog.lazymeter.com/2011/07/31/lazymeter-not-another-t...

Other key differentiators are the pause button, so you clear your to-do list each day, and the ability to add multiple reminders, so you can check something off for today and continue it on another day (most tasks aren't simply to-do versus done).
