    IDEA 
    Oh no man, not the 150s productivity tracker. This stuff is even funny to talk about at this point, because so many have done this. I remember someone even ridiculed it. Here's a fun simple test: use Microsoft To do - it's well designed and is fairly pleasant to use. See if you will last...

    Has anyone here raised capital?

    QUESTION 
    A YEAR? A year is beyond huge. Besides, from flat broke to filthy rich ladder is more profitable. I've recently earned more money washing windows for 3 weeks than I did on a job as a junior programmer for a year. Life counts, and this is what is wrong in this equation. Years are too precious...

    I had an idea, I took the plunge, now I need your opinion.

    IDEA 
    hey man, pause, PAUSE and read a book that's called The Right It. You'll not regret it with bringing a product to the market. Any product for that matter. I know because I've wasted hundreds on marketing to the ground with virtually 0 return. So be cautious.
