Less Wrong is wrong a lot lol.
Worked for 2U. It was the most incomprehensibly incompetent place you could imagine. Terrible people with zero real skills all backstabbing each other.

Depends what you’d call successful. My marketing consulting service earned me a tolerable living and then helped me land a really good full time job.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to update the TOS to be more clear. For the record, the app doesn't collect location.

I think you're totally right to distrust TOS. Most have some really BS conditions, especially for free stuff. In this though, it was just an oversight on my part.

Thanks. We're keeping track of feedback and have a few features like this one the way!
Yes! This is definitely one of the types of problems this app is meant to solve. We just launched, but features like repeating tasks are on their way.
Thanks! Fixing now.
That feature is on its way! I personally hate feeling nagged by my To Do list, so we're going to make an optional reminders system.

When would you like reminders? Would you want reminders for "This Week" to show up every day, or just Mondays?

Thanks for the feedback! Really like the idea of This Weekend.

Btw are you suggesting different colors or just fewer colors overall?

I'd love to learn more and see about incorporating this concept. Contact me on the site if you'd like to contribute suggestions.
"I wish there was a way of selling tasks to my brain. Something that could turn items from “YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!” to “hey, wouldn’t it be cool to do this?” "

Keep an eye out for future updates! I know what you mean.

I actually had to-doist and it was one of the things that inspired me to want to make this app. I hate pushing to-dos back over and over again.

If I know I'm going to push something back a bunch, I'd rather just mark it "This Year."
