This looks like a flexible shared list tool — what got you most excited about this problem compared to existing list apps (like simple shared checklists)?
One thing that helps with validation is defining who exactly needs this daily — is it families planning groceries, teams coordinating tasks, or communities discovering lists?
If users were only using this once a week or less, that might point to a different core use case than frequent planning.
Curious which one group of users you think will use it most often, and why?
The application aims to gather all the lists you want to create in one place.
For example, you can share the same list with your spouse or create lists for tasks at work.
It also has a social aspect; you can share lists on any topic you want on social media.
Got it — that helps.
One thing I’d encourage you to pressure-test early: which behavior you want to win first.
Private lists (spouse, work tasks) tend to succeed when they’re habitual and boring — daily use, low sharing.
Social lists tend to succeed when they’re expressive and occasional — discovery, identity, sharing.
Trying to serve both at once can blur the signal. If you had to choose just one success metric for the first 30 days —
• daily list edits by the same user, or
• public list shares + saves by others —
which one would you bet on, and why?
That answer usually reveals the real product.
I actually created this app for my own use. But now I can say it's turned into a full-fledged task and work tracking software, and it's really useful.
Should I disable the social media feature?
