There was a time when new todo-apps was launched on a regular basis. And there are many, countless, apps and websites that give you a todo-list of varying fashion. Perhaps the most popular is Jira, a collaborative list with tickets that can be assigned to GitHub pull-requests and grouped by sprints (among many other things).
Horribly slow and bad UI per big-corporate-standards, of course. We use it in my daylight-job, and I brought up the idea of switching - and everyone seemed to hate the idea. ”This is the best there is”, ”There is nothing like it” was a two of the comments I got.
Should I build a collaborative todo-app for companies that don't suck? No, but someone should, and it seems easy since the bar is so low. But how should anyone convince the world of their product, trusting it enough to switch from something known?
This is the main pain-point for me at the moment, and sadly it affects all my apps and creative endeavours. I am suffocated and cannot be heard. It feels pointless to try anything since I'm voiceless. It does not matter how great anything is, since it will never be seen by anyone and never heard by anyone. I can scream into the void like this but it will never amount to anything.
I want to have a voice, and I want even the maker of todo-apps to have a voice. I want great ideas to be heard and shared.
