Since you're calling it a startup as opposed to just a project, I have to ask about business model. How will you make money off this?
I think you'll have a very, very difficult time monetizing this, as there are already dozens and dozens of free TODO apps. Unless you can carve out a die-hard niche that is 100% against signup and login forms, it will be difficult to compete with the others that are both free and easy to use.
- hgezim 14y agoSigh You're absolutely right. I guess, if there is such a niche, which remains to be seen, I maybe could limit the number of lists they can have before upgrading to premium?! If anyone has ideas, I'm more than willing to listen.
- bpatrianakos 14y agoJust build a cool app, make it the best you can, but don't quit your day job yet. As you go along and learn more about your users and the app starts to get a life or personality of its own then you'll probably be able to see a clear business model. I'm going to guess you haven't been working on this for more than a month or two so its very early to make any kind of judgement yet. Just enjoy the ride and you'd be surprised what people will pay for. I don't care how many free todo apps are out there people will still pay for them. For examples, Things for Mac. Incredibly simple concept but its valuable enough that even I bought it a while back.
