I think it would be really interesting to get a tracker for the ones that hit the front page, then fall off, and then surge back in 30-60 mins. I wonder what's going on with those ones.
Agreed. As a solo dev I am 1.5 years in to building something that represents just one of these apps, and I am still at least 6-12 months away from a v1. I guess it's a choice of going wide or deep.
I agree. I had this same problem with a tree UI model. Each node had links to both the children and the parent. Mutating any node in the tree, changes the reference of that node. Mutating the linkage to the updated node cascades to every other node in the tree.
To monetize v1 could focus on the single purpose of tracking nutrition. If it somehow could estimate input / output and keep you on task, maybe nudging you to walk. Like a personal trainer on your shoulder all the time.
Well in their video demo they got the nutrition information completely wrong, so clearly the tech isn’t capable of doing that even in a controlled environment.
[Just in case it helps to offer a simple tool, but this is also self promotion I guess]
I'm working on a very simple tool to manage projects and tasks. The focus is around simple checkboxes and hierarchical structure. Behind the scenes it has the structure of block model editors where every line is a block, but it is presented as a regular text interface. This results in feeling as simple as a big ass text file, but with real data structure. Happy for anyone to join and test it out and help define a roadmap toward utility without ever becoming as overwhelming as something like notion or other block editors. Basically I love the simplicity of text files and want to create something that on the surface is as simple as a text file but has a whole lot of power under the hood.
