Show HN: My todo app with encouragement and statistics to increase motivation

3 pointstaigeair6 comments

Would love to get some feedback on my app. It's free for the next day.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/victories/id888306128?ls=1&mt=8

Is there a website that demonstrates what the app does?

I find the idea interesting, but I don't use an iPhone and hesitate to download apps to my Android phone due to some bad experiences.

But I'd probably provide feedback if I could.

You want to see a video or something?

It's only iOS. Thanks for the support though :)

Because it was asked for, I would be willing to provide feedback, but packaged as an iOS app...or probably an Android app...creates a high level of friction. Seems like this makes the app store makes it difficult to aquire, let alone connect with potential users and iterate the product on short cycles.

...and that's about all the feedback I can really offer.

I see. So how would you package a todo app?

For the purposes of testing, obtaining feedback, iterating and finding a market, I think packaging a tool as an app has more drawbacks than benefits. There are too many dependencies on third parties and too many assumptions about customers.

YMMV.

Here's a video of it! www.littlequest.me/victories
