The problem it solves
Addresses feelings of unproductiveness by allowing individuals to see their completed tasks, fostering a sense of achievement.
How it makes money
Freemium model, offering basic features for free and premium features for a subscription fee.
Skills you need
Product development, user interface design, marketing, and customer support.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work has increased demand for productivity tools that help users visualize their accomplishments. To Did List can generate initial revenue by partnering with productivity-focused subreddits like r/productivity to offer exclusive premium features to their members. A potential risk involves customer acquisition costs; if users do not find immediate value in tracking completed tasks, the CAC payback period may extend beyond expectations, impacting cash flow.
