    “Why on earth not? If no one decided to build something because someone else had built one already where would we be?”

    Thank you for putting it out 😍
    I was an idiot to think, why build if it's already out there and compromise in the process.
    This is inspiring ❤️‍🩹

        Yeah, thanks. Exploring things right now. Have created an AI-generated image collection, which you can check out here: https://shivamrathore.gumroad.com/l/beautiful-100-plus-ai-generated-images/BLACKFRIDAY

        Also, after reading your post, I am thinking of releasing my old simple small pet projects, too 😅

    The "Why not?" point made realize how dumb it is to not work on my ideas just because there is people doing a similar thing. I needed to read this post so bad.
    Wish you the best with your project!

    The title just triggered the "Ahaa !" moment in me. cuz i've declined a lot of idea that are already built.

      The hardest part can often be getting started. Good luck!

    The UI is simple yet amazing, I love it. The "nesting" feature is what sold it for me. I know this is a web app, but are you planning to release native Android and iOS apps anytime soon?

      Thank you :) I really wanted to keep it simple as there's so much bloat in a lot of task management apps. At the moment it is a progressive web app so can be installed and functions almost exactly like an app. I think this is good enough for now but at some point down the line I will probably build a native version yes.

      Haha yes, it's an enormous market, there's always room for innovation. As an indie hacker I don't have to capture a huge chunk of it either, just a nice corner.
