AlwaysNow — my tool for making things happen #feedback

Hi yall!

i want to share my maker workflow and how I've decided to steal from Notion (loving it) to build my own tiny version to be productive. In exchange I really hope to get feedback from you, people!

After years of using productivity tools this is a conclusion I came up wi

    I know this is an MVP and I might be a bit harsh but..

    • I don't see any way of coming back to the landing page once I clicked on the try for free button.
    • Your value prop is that you will focus on the current moment, but you still can add items to future days.. isn't this contradicting?
    • Honestly I don't see any difference to all of the other todo lists out there.

    Hope you can get some insight from here and improve. Good luck.

      Very much thank you for your feedback!

      isn't this contradicting?
      Speaking formally — I do believe so.

      Honestly I don't see any difference
      Do you mean that there is no difference or it is just not obvious at all?

        Not OP, but does it matter? If you think there's a difference then your messaging might not be strong. I personally think the difference is in UX of creating a list for the day. Most tools make it more difficult than necessary. Your tool gets out of the way.

    I don't know if you've tested this on mobile but it doesn't work very well on Chrome/Android.

    • Not sure if/how you can manipulate the list but the handle send to do nothing.

    • Pressing the delete button when the list item is empty doesn't remove the item, instead exciting edit mode (keyboard disappears). This makes for a frustrating experience because then another item is added of you were repeatedly pressing delete.

    Just in general, what makes this different from using Google keep to track a to do list?

      Android is a nasty thing when it comes to rich text editing :(

      I will take a look at those bugs. Thank you!

        Are you using Google Keep now?

        I believe the constrain of AlwaysNow are the difference. Every day you open an app and there is an empty list in front of you.

    Kind of a specialised version of https://workflowy.com/ ?

      Yeap. Very narrow and focused one.

      I am using Notion and I've started to practice this kind of attitude to everyday planning there first.

    I would be interested in trying it out, for sure. The "Try for free" button currently doesn't work.

    Good luck!

      Thanks for catching! Should work now.

      Tell me how is it going.

        Thanks, I was able to access it. Just started to play around with it. Hitting backspace when there are no characters on a line causes the whole thing to break and I get a white screen.

          On what kind of device this happened to you?
