The things app https://culturedcode.com/things/ https://culturedcode.com/things/ , even though it's just an elegant TODO app something drove me to buy the iPhone and Mac versions. Some time ago I spent a good amount of time looking for a development stack that allowed me to just build stuff. I ended up trying and deciding on Laravel Jetstream with InertiaJS https://jetstream.laravel.com/2.x/stacks/inertia.html https://jetstream.laravel.com/2.x/stacks/inertia.html. Laravel was easy enough already to just pick and do things, now this solves the backend+frontend projects for me by allowing me to just put vuejs components on top of my laravel app and jetbrains already comes with Auth stuff setup solved.

> jetbrains already comes with Auth stuff setup solved What do you mean by this? Perhaps that's a typo and you mean Jetstream?

I love Things, and for a long time used it every day. I just can't get behind their pricing model though, the desktop version in Australia is $80 which is outrageously expensive for a TODO app that can largely be replaced with the slightly inferior but free Reminders app.

  That's where I'm at with OmniFocus. I love it so much, but it's really expensive, and I'm finding the extra features above Reminders aren't as crucial to my daily life as I'd thought.

    Yep same here, Omni was my next stop after Things and I came to much the same conclusion. Personally I'm pretty happy with Reminders, being able to shout reminders at Siri, and getting location-based reminders has actually been pretty useful for me especially these days when I don't know when specifically I'll be in the office.

      The Siri integration was icing on the cake, as was "Remind me when I talk to...". OF had pretty decent integration, but I couldn't step out of the shower and ask my Homepod what I need to do today. A shared to-do list with my wife was the real killer feature.

  Not only that, but even if I pay that price, I can't share lists with my wife? I would really love to use it, but that just seems ridiculous in this day and age.

  I've been using Things on iOS for a long time and I should say their desktop pricing for me is worth the money and investment. I understand its pricey because it is just a one time payment. As a father, husband and dev juggling between work and family it is just a task to keep up with everything.

  That’s even less attractive when you consider that you have no idea when they will switch to a new version number and ask you to pay again. Things 3 have been out for a long time now so personally I wouldn’t take the risk and would rather wait for Things 4, so that my payment lasts some time.
