Re:Why is there such an emphasis on having a coding founder?

It depends on the complexity of your work.
If it will take 6+ months to complete a project, then you'd need that amount of money to pay an offshore team. On the otherhand, if you or your co-founder can code then that capital can stay in house.
Additionally, there's less overhead (in costs of time) for transferring information to outsiders.

That said, I am in fact surprised that your app only cost $300 to develop.
It's not just a to-do list. It apparently uses predictive modeling to make sure you don't forget to put items on the list.
Predictive modeling can be really simple (Bayes), but I am in fact impressed (albeit surprised) that you could sketch that into a process flow for someone to implement, whilst not being able to code it yourself.
perhaps you're not a coder, but you are technically competent... no?
