I made a free product out of one of the use cases for YesNotice "Get notified when a new movie or TV show is released". It's here: https://www.premierepal.com/


Give the kids a break... let them be free to play. They are only 7 and 10, why do they need daily routines, task completion, accountability, timers? Sheesh.


By 7, children should already be practicing some personal disciplines in basic self care (teeth brushing) and managing their personal spaces.

10 years old is a good time to expand self care with additional hygiene (deodorant) ahead of adolescence, but it's also ideal to incorporate a few daily pushups or other calesthenics so this practice will be there during the years when their growth hormone levels will be the highest. And even 2 minutes of musical instrument practice daily can also be transformational.

A modest daily routine at a young age can be life changing.


I have 3 kids (14, 12, 11). I could have used something like this when they were around 10-12 to create some accountability for simple tasks like "pick up your room" or more commonly the dreaded 20 minutes of reading, especially when they ask for extra screen time.

The demo video has more than I would ask my kids to do, but 1-2 minor things that should be done every day isn't a sheesh to me.


I run a walled garden. Full freedom of the garden within the confines of the wall. My kids: wake up - make your bed. Prep breakfast for self or others, play until breakfast. Then clean up, homeschool, then freedom until I get off work. Then a period of quiet time where we do not interact with others unless invited. Then it is "bless another" for an hour where we work on something for someone else.

The only timer is for video games because time passes differently when playing. And video game time is purchased through exercise.

I try to model and build schedules to maximize their ability to balance managing themselves, a business, their time, and their family.


You could try asking OP instead of sheeshing it off.

Any ways, just because you have some "structure routine" in your day doesn't mean you don't also have many hours of free play time.


> You could try asking OP instead of sheeshing it off.

I'm pretty sure a top level comment is effectively "asking OP". As for sheeshing it off, why can't we have both?


Because saying "this is stupid" is much less likely to get a useful response than "what's your specific use case in your family"?


Or better yet, "how do your decide what the right balance of structured tasks vs free time is for kids of various ages?"


Congrats on the successful product! What do you in terms of marketing?


Thank you! Most of the users so far have come from X ads (like this, for example - https://x.com/sam_feldman_/status/1930488932132671529)

Some have also come from Google ads and organic search.

I'm hoping to expand more into wholesome / viral birthday videos where we give strangers gifts on their birthdays. Kind of like this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSOt2_dIiPI).


but how much does it cost to feed 300 chickens?


Around 25€ per day + VAT. They lay 240 eggs during day now thay it’s winter. We sell them 50snt/each (VAT included). We feed them soyfree organic feed.


same here!


what did you change about the pricing model that improved sales so much?


This looks really useful. I'll definitely be using this in the near future. However, I unnecessarily downloaded the sample loan estimate PDF and uploaded it again in order to view the report. Please make the "view sample report" button more prominent, or add another "view sample report" button within the blue "Try it out!" box.


Exactly what i was looking for, thank you!
