Is this a parody? Not to be cynical, but I'm curious how a nested to-do list can have such an impact that it prompts people to say "this made me cry."

For some reason there's an endless supply of people who eventually have the thought, "I should make a to-do-list app."

Guilty! I think it's an entrepreneurial rite of passage or something.

Building a to-do app is to entrepreneurs what writing a text editor is to devs

It's really not.

Someone should really make a to-do-list-app framework to make building to-do-list-apps more efficient. Think of the amount of time that's been wasted making to-do-list-apps.

Its a common notion, ( never really tried probably should ) once you list down all the things down in form of a organised list the chaos in your mind created by so many things just settles down.

Planning gets simple and you tend to do things the better way, your mind which was just filled with things about this and that is now ready to do something about those things.

Of course its still odd to link someone to just a to-do list manager instead someone should explain what should be done with that tool.
