I want to clone/steal their ideas!
But actually, their originality and novelty is what gets them popular in the first place. I think if I tried to copy AwesomeReminders today, I'd probably fail the way most people expected the original AwesomeReminders to fail. Being first matters?

Being first is, in fact, harder since the first entrant into a market has to prove it exists! We now know there are > 700 people who like the idea of someone validating them over the phone each day. I suspect that most self help gurus could sell a similar service to their user bases at a higher rate. Would I pay $100/mo for Tony Robbins to call me for 1 minute once a week with an inspirational message? Probably not, but I'd bet my left arm that 100 or more of his devotees would, and it'd be a $10k/mo revenue stream for 2 hours per week.
