My Weekend Project: Mr. Goal -- simple goal reminders by Email and SMS.

what are the advantages over having your yahoo or gmail calendar text you?<p>will remembering my goals better actually help me reach them, as is stated? why might that be?<p>do you vary the frequency of the reminders at all?<p>Would this be enhanced if you had human mentors that saw the interactions? I find messages computers are dismissed pretty easily, while people a need to respond or show progress to humans.

Feel free to integrate Notifo for push notifications. Dirt cheap. :)<p><a href="https://api.notifo.com/" rel="nofollow">https://api.notifo.com/</a>

Congrats omarish. I had this exact same idea rattling around in my head a week or two ago. I have recently been thinking that I needed someone to work with as an accountability partner, someone that would keep me on point. Not wanting to burden anyone with that I began thinking of a way to automate it. Your new service looks like it fits that bill. Thanks for executing.

On the payment page, I was confused by two things: - "Regime Length" - HOW MUCH I'D ACTUALLY PAY<p>It actually seems that they might be tied together? Is "regime" in your context referring to the months of subscription that I can sign up for, the max length ahead of time I can set a goal...? I did not recognize its meaning in this context.<p>Also, it was not clear how much I'd actually pay you if I signed up for a paid plan. The sub-heading of the "Cost per Month" shows that I can cancel, but am I paying monthly or per year? Anyway, that's what I thought reactively. It seems that cost per month multiplied by regime length is the sub-heading cost amount for each subscription.<p>That makes no sense to me.<p>And as someone trying it out, I'm not sure if I'd sign up for a free plan that I'd be afraid of upgrading.<p>Cool idea. But I am afraid to sign up for anything besides the free plan based on the payment matrix.

It neither logs me in with my password (just registered and a) I didnt forget the password I typed and b) it was saved to LastPass) nor restores it to my email (I checked Spam, yes)<p>And, something like a random time (like, some random moment from 17pm to 20pm) will be a cool option

Nice project! It'd be nice to have a link to who you are (an about page) on the site. Makes things a bit more friendly :-) You also might want to put a dedicated page for your privacy policy up (even if it's just a very simple one) since you ask for contact info.

Nice! This is exactly what I've been looking for to keep track of my goals. Feedback page?

Really well made. Here are a few things that i wanted to share<p>1. I signed up for the free plan and i am not seeing an option to upgrade to the paid plans. 2. A better word choice for 'Introspections' would be nice 3. Making the 'forgot password' page consistent with the site design would be good. I guess you will be having it on your list. 4. Notifo push notifications would be really awesome!

I use Todoist, and love it. But the one feature I desperately want added is the ability to have start dates so that Gantt charts can be created for my week/month/year.<p>If you had this, I would give Mr. Goal a try and if it was any good, I'd probably pay for it. It'd be nice to have a service that told me how hellish some school weeks would be in advance.

Hi, I made a similar service www.randomremind.me, but it is not so serious as yours. I use it for rotting goals in my to-do list.<p>Also I tested your app a bit and it tells me to 'choose a password that's at least 5 characters' even when I am putting in 5-character password. But otherwise seems OK. Good luck.

On your home page, 'every-day' should be 'every day'. (You only use the hyphen when it's a compound adjective, e.g. 'every-day event'.)<p>And actually, re the sentence 'Doing something, every-day, until you achieve it', you could remove all the commas and it would mean the same but read better.

Looks like it could be useful. One comment, the tag line: "do everything you'd like" doesn't seem quite snappy enough, might be to do with the use of the apostrophe. Maybe something shorter might be more memorable, such as "achieve anything".

Very nice stuff! If you don't mind me asking, what do you use as an SMS gateway?

Having the app send random texts makes it much better imho. If you set it up like yahoo and google calendars it just-another-reminder-app. Btw, liked the Ataturk background.

excellent idea. For weekend projects like these...where do you get the pre made de facto buttons like login, signup, forgot pwd among others..

I love it. Simple and to the point - will definitely try it out. What are you using as your payment processor?
