From the landing page it is unclear what exactly is offered here. I do not feel like creating an account to see this in action. Is there a demo somewhere?

No demo, but I can make a dummy account if you are interested

Thanks. It states it is recommended you do not add personal, proprietary or other sensitive information in your accomplishments. Isn't that a bit strange? Your accomplishments you list, with the goal of building for your yearly assessment, are all about that.

I see only that I can add these notes. Not a lot more. I suppose the USP is your notifications? If I cannot store any real notes I could as well in my agenda make a recurring meeting every month that would give me a notification to add a note to onenote, Evernote, orgmode or any other note taking tool. 9.99 a month seems steep.

Am I missing something?

You can still say a lot about what you did without getting into technical specifics. My original thought was to record what you did, not a step by step account of how you did it. Maybe I should change it to say "any proprietary or company sensitive information" and leave off personal. I just wanted to remind the user not to accidentally put something on my site that shouldn't be on a non-company server.

I am also planning on adding a pdf "report" that will show all of your accomplishments for a given time period. The notifications are the main selling point and I am planning on adding a lot more different types with the goal of being able to add accomplishments through the notifications.

Thank you so much for looking at this. It really means a lot. I will take your opinion on the price into consideration. Do you have any ideas as to what would make this app worth 9.99 a month for you? What features would you like to see implemented into a site like this?

In the about page you mentioned having to submit brag sheets in the Navy. Can this app automatically generate them and maybe other standard formats of lists of accomplishments? Automating and removing the stress from paperwork can be valuable.

I am working on that now.

Can you at least put screenshots?

I will add that to my todo list. In the meantime feel free to use the dummy account I posted in another reply to play around with the app.
