Why we decided to build yet another todo list application

Due.work is yet another simple todo list application more focused on getting the work done rather than getting you distracted by listing a bunch of tasks.

We shamelessly decided to build a todo list application even after knowing there are already 100s of other productivity apps on the internet already, so why did be build it??

Actually, after working together with several companies and managing teams for years we actually never found a single productivity solution with whom we can really love using it.

Problems with existing solutions:

1. When working with teams even on a very small project after some time tasks always get cluttered even if we are using several labels, priority, etc.

2. It was very difficult to get to know the list of all overdue tasks that gets missed its deadline. No matter how productive we are there is always a probability of missing a deadline especially when we work in a team. What we wanted was something to aggregate all overdue tasks in a seperate group and display it on top whenever a task gets delayed, so that we can decide what to do with those missed tasks.

3. There were no good tools that actually let you decide what you really want instead they enforce you to it. What if the product manager prefers a view to write tasks that will have a beautiful Gantt chart to displays all the timelines of the tasks whereas the Business analysts of the team want a board view like in trello where all tasks present is on status wise. whereas other people want just a simple todo list view which only displays those tasks that need to be done today.

4. An online feature like (in google docs or sheets) was missing in all the productivity apps. When we are working together in teams we often want to know who else is also online/working right now. It helps to boost confidence among the team. With team showing online we can also, ask anyone at that moment only if we had any issue.

5. A simplistic tool to be used by all departments of people was missing in all productivity platforms. Many good tools like trello or basecamp actually offer a simplistic solution. But they with a basic features only and we are only left to use several integrations to use it as a whole thus we end up paying more and more.

This was some of the main reason, we decided to build an altogether new productivity platform due.work (https://www.due.work/). I would love to know your thoughts on the same.

Today we are releasing Due.work 2.0 with apps for all platforms (web, mobile, and desktop).
