Another todo app founder discovers the revolutionary concept of 'maybe tomorrow'

AI roast score: 25/100 (F)

The idea

Fuzzy deadlines for todo lists: because what the world really needs is procrastination as a feature, not a bug. Next up: alarm clocks that suggest you 'probably should wake up soonish'

In the founder's own words

A todo list with fuzzy deadlines instead of hard ones

The roast

You've identified the least painful problem in productivity software and proposed the least defensible solution. The todo app graveyard is littered with thousands of failed attempts, each convinced their slight twist would crack the code. Your 'fuzzy deadlines' feature is essentially institutionalized procrastination - which users can already achieve for free by simply ignoring their existing todo apps. With q11=none for moat and q13=solo execution against entrenched players with billion-dollar war chests, you're bringing a water gun to a nuclear fight. The q15=will_pay concern is spot-on because consumers have proven repeatedly they won't pay for productivity tools when free alternatives flood the market. Your q17=product_led growth strategy requires viral mechanics that don't exist in todo apps - people don't share their incomplete task lists.

Verdict

Abandon this idea and find a problem people actually pay to solve.
