Hi all,
I've just opened up MarketingReminder to the public, as I'm using it to get myself into the habit of marketing properly, daily, and thought I'd share it with others. It's free - proper free, no sneaky upsells or pro plans or whatever.
If you're interested, it's at https://marketingreminder.com - I'd like to hear what you think.
The "no sneaky upsells" positioning is refreshing. Most free tools feel like traps waiting to spring a paywall.
The core problem you're solving — consistency over intensity — is something I struggle with too. I'm building a tech news aggregator and the "build vs market" ratio is embarrassingly skewed toward building.
A question on the approach:
How do you think about the difference between reminding someone to "do marketing" vs helping them figure out what to do? For me, the friction isn't forgetting — it's decision paralysis. "Post on Twitter" sounds simple until you're staring at a blank compose box.
Curious if you've thought about bundling prompts or micro-tasks with the reminders. Something like "Reply to 3 tweets in your niche" feels more actionable than "do marketing."
Either way, bookmarked. Shipping something genuinely free is rare — respect for that.
This is great, Andy. The "proper free, no sneaky upsells" line made me smile—feels increasingly rare these days.
I resonate with the core insight here: knowing what to do isn't the problem; remembering to do it is. As builders, we're so heads-down on code that marketing becomes "I'll do it tomorrow" for six months straight.
I'm working on a similar problem but from the opposite direction—instead of reminding people to DO tasks, I built something that EXTRACTS tasks buried in email/Slack chaos. (I'm a lawyer in Japan, and nearly missed a client deadline because a request was buried in a 3-day-old thread. That scared me into coding a fix.)
Funny how "reminders" can mean such different things:
Both solve the same underlying problem: our brains are terrible at tracking commitments.
Bookmarked MarketingReminder—I need exactly this kind of accountability. Building in public is easy; marketing in public is terrifying.
