Sorry, nope. This looks exactly like Teuxdeux, and even borrows some very similar product marketing imagery. (https://teuxdeux.com/ https://teuxdeux.com/) Also Weektodo: https://weektodo.me/ https://weektodo.me/ There are so many hard & interesting problems out there - software & otherwise - and this space doesn't need yet another re-skin with one or two tweaks.

Same with the toothpaste aisle, pasta sauce aisle etc. Sometimes personal preferences are part of the value prop.

  Cool - doesn't mean everyone with a reskinned app gets a participation trophy. Sometimes people need to hear tough feedback...lest you become one of those people that quit their jobs and audition on American Idol or something.

  But also at a certain point adding another choice that’s barely different from the last one leads to decision fatigue and ends up propping up the status quo. If you asked me which bespoke calendar app was right for you I’d have no idea and probably just suggest gcal.

This feels unnecessarily harsh. So what if you don't think it's a 'hard and interesting' problem? Couldn't you have applauded the effort and offered some constructive criticism regarding your preference in look and feel? If everyone just bums everyone out it ends up taking monumental confidence to try and achieve anything. Be better.

  There’s a balance being positive for effort vs giving everyone participation trophies. Sometimes tough but fair feedback is appropriate and needed. Let’s not pretend that the vectors for “effort” and “impact” should be orthogonal.

    To me your feedback doesn't seem fair and not thought out well though. Notes/Calendar/Todo apps will evolve forever, there is no one size fits all and there won't ever be.

      Which is exactly why they are A waste of time. I have yet to meet a developer that doesn't have an idea for a notes/calendar/organizational tool. The point is that organization is such an individual problem that it always needs a custom solution and yet each solution will only be valuable to a handful of people.

      Lol THOSE are actually useful / interesting / hard problems worthwhile solving - or at least working through. We need more computational biologists solving protein folding problems or the like to cure humanity’s greatest ills. NOT a todo app with a new sticker on it.

        Right. But no kid starts as a computational biologist solving protein folding problems.

It let's me try it on my phone without forcing me to sign up for another potential throwaway account that will spam my inbox, so that's at least one thing that I already like more about it than it's competitors.

  And the design is really refreshing. It looks like a native app in my iphone.
