Hi Richard, thank you for your comment! It's very welcomed. Honestly, I made it for myself initially, I'm the only active user right now (so there goes the social proof), but for that reason alone I don't plan to take it down any time soon. Still from the very start I've always played with the idea to charge for it (maybe something like $2/mo at least), and that's the reason I recently polished it and released it. I didn't want to bother integrating a payment system and have no one use it, so that's why it's free now, just testing to see if there is any interest (thanks for yours!). So from what you say I'll ask you, would you pay $2/mo (or even 1) to use this? Do you think there could be a potential market for it? P.S. Pro tip: You can import your text lists by pasting the text on a new list. Not fully developed yet though, only works when pasting at the end of a list.

Sorry for the delay. Been trying to meet a deadline. I went back and looked at the two companies I mentioned earlier for pricing. With those in mind, I'd suggest you charge $2-3 / mo. However, I also see that both of those sites are on a freemium model. So, there's a little more to think about. Would you charge for all levels of access, etc? Before I discuss how I feel about price, I want to say that there is a market for it. People want to manage their to-do lists and tasks. "to do list" is searched for about 90k times a month on Google, and so is "task manager." Also, I've taken a little time to look at some of the competitors and here's what I've found: http://rivalseek.com/trends/index.php?market=4 http://rivalseek.com/trends/index.php?market=4 Not sure what happened in June 2013 but the overall 3-year trend seem to be a 25% growth. And the chart doesn't really show this, but that's a lot of traffic. Todoist.com alone receives an estimated 12.3 million visits a month. From looking at different companies I also really liked taasky.com because they appealed to the fact that I wanted the system to be simple. But, still, I would not use them because I want a system that works on both my phone and my pc. Personally, I'm still on the fence about which one I would choose. It's between yours and wunderlist. I like the simplicity of yours and the fact that I see it works wonderfully on both my pc and phone. My concerns right now are: a) will I need the additional features of wunderlist, b) am I going to pay for something I could get for free, c) am I going to be the only person paying for it? I'm saying these things not to discourage you, but to try to provide feedback and help you with sales process/objections.

  Thanks for you insights. Those are some pretty interesting numbers. I might really get on with this when I have some free time. About the pricing model, I've been thinking that I would just provide a single plan with unlimited lists, to keep things simple. Now with the signup-less trial I think providing any kind of freemium model would be overcomplicating things. What do you think? I'm glad you like it and that it works well for you. Note that the mobile support was just a quick work around, mainly just for reading the lists. Ideally I would implement gesture based actions, and hide the icons to free up space. Something like Clear, which is very nice, and is actually the one I use on my phone (just for the grocery list). About your concerns: a) what additional features specifically? b) That's really up to you, although my objective is to make something that you do want to pay for. c) Hopefully not ;)
