Maybe I'm old school, but this seems like something that would take upwards of five minutes to add to my calendar and wouldn't require a whole other account + login.

Yeah I find that calendar and a free-form note app cover pretty much everything "miscellaneous" on my phone. The only other apps I really use are maps, contacts, email, and web browser.

Okay I have a legitimate question: for random things you need to do in a long timeframe (ex. Change the Air Filters in 6 months) do you add it to your calendar? Siri for example would add it for exactly 6 months to the day from now, and what if that is a Tuesday and you'd rather do it at a more convenient time?

Adding it to reminders would have an enormous number of pending reminders it feels like

I personally would open up my calendar, flip six months later, and then pick a convenient time, since there is wiggle room on getting something like that done. I'd probably add it for a weekend and add a notification to go off a few days prior.

In Google Calendar, it would less than a minute, based on a quick test I just did.

I built it to scratch an itch especially for reminders. You can snooze reminders, for an hour, a day, or a week. I snooze them all the time until I’m ready to do it.

Oh, this doesn't have a web interface? Would be epic if it did!

As soon as it pops up on your calendar, it's now a 'to-do'. Manage that the same way you manage your other to-dos, wether that's a reminder or a sticky note or a list or whatever.

I would see myself procrastinate until it falls off my calendar.

> I need an app that’ll remind me when my cards are about to expire. Cards, passport, even products. Need.

A tiny self mailing Google App script set to run daily and hooked up to a spreadsheet with expiration dates can do the job, no need for an app. Email reports are sent in case of any runtime crashes.

There are so many B2B apps that will do the first one. It’s called job management, and it’s a massive product category. But none of it is as simple as ‘download this app and take a photo’ because every business is slightly different.

And while your app could start so simple, and perfectly aligned with their use case, next they’ll want something else, and you’ll want more customers, so the customisation options begin. Until it’s so complicated to get it to do anything that it requires a consultant to set it up.

But will they really pay for it? Because at present they’ve chosen to tweet rather than google. And google + money would have solved this already.
