That's fair. I wanted to share the story, which boils down to: I didn't want a todo list, I wanted software that did all the painful work of a task management system. It does for me what I did for myself when other task systems broke down: reads the list, emails me with three for the day. I built it for myself, and using it convinced me to offer it for sale. I tried to make it as reliable as possible, as fast as possible, and was unwilling to compromise on trust (no training, no use/sale of your data, no looking at your data without explicit recorded consent).

Especially when the alternative so often is "I [vibe-]coded a TODO app, go look at it!"
Adding some narrative to it made it more interesting to me, not less. I actually saw the post because of the wall of text and enjoyed reading it!
