Hi everyone, I have been working on Nominal the past year and am hoping I could get some feedback&#x2F;critique on the product, especially the design and business side of things as those aren&#x27;t my strengths.<p>This is a solo project, a side hustle &#x2F; lifestyle business. I originally built it to solve my own problem and have decided to open it up to the public. I intend to keep it alive as long as my (currently low) hosting costs are covered.<p>Nominal is a progressive web app, accessed through the web but available on mobile through Add to Homescreen with &quot;native-like&quot; features (currently only using service worker cache and push notifications).<p>This is the first paid SaaS that I have ever built on my own. There are a lot of options in this space, but I feel there might be a small niche of users like myself interested in a small paid for app that respects user privacy and data ownership.<p>Thanks for your time!

I just started using a todo list app a few weeks ago. I started with any.do but I didn&#x27;t care for the UX. I am on todoist now, and it works well but I&#x27;m not married to it. I do like how I can enter &quot;every X days&quot; in the due date to make a recurring task. It is very natural.<p>I haven&#x27;t signed up for yours yet, but I might. Your UI looks good...Simple and clean. I like that.<p>My only hesitation is that I really like how todoist has an android app. I have a widget on my homescreen and I can mark tasks as complete without any effort at all. They are also constant reminders of what I have to do.<p>If you ever get native phone apps&#x2F;widgets I would be all over this. I might even be able to stop using Keep for note taking
