The comments on this thread are such an embarrassment. Someone's worked hard on something for months, and people go and piss all over it.
If you don't think this is a useful or good app, you don't even have to look at it. Just pass.
At least when someone launches a product, if you don't have anything encouraging or constructive to say, it's best not to say anything.
It seems HN is suffering more and more from the "Why wasn't I consulted?" angst - http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.html http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.html
- mnicole 14y agoWhy is honest criticism not allowed? Don't you want to know why people are averse to your service so you can perfect it, no less directly from the people who would pay for it?
- nalidixic 14y agoThere's a difference between honest criticism and bashing someones hard work. 75% of the comments on this post are not honest criticism.
- mnicole 14y agoWith no-bullshit audiences that tell it like it is, you sometimes need to read between the lines. I'm not condoning the behavior, but it is not foreign to HN and something to consider before posting here.
- barbs 14y agoWhat gets me, is that all this hard work could be put into something way more useful. Instead it's wasted trying to re-invent the wheel. This app offers hardly anything if not nothing new.
- glanch 14y agoIt's because we're tired of seeing a new to-do list app every day. They always have a cutesy name and fancy design and pretentious branding. At this point, a to-do app is a nice project for someone learning to program, nothing more. We don't need 100 to-do list apps. They all suck. Paper and pencil still wins. Typing on a smartphone sucks, and will always suck. I don't care that it automatically syncs to my laptop or my desktop or my goddamn toilet.
