We've got an idea for a simple task list web app. We like to call it a deadline web app. It's a way for employees to stay on task and generate a report of their tasks that have met deadlines, completed before the deadline, and been late on deadlines. The mission is to create quantifiable data each and every task.<p>The market is flooded with these type of creations, but the spin we are adding to it (the analytics)isn't something that is normally associated with this type of tool.<p>What are the roadblocks here? Things to keep in mind?
You've already identified one major roadblock - getting your app noticed in a sea of similar apps. Thus you really must absolutely push any edge you have.<p>About the analytics you derive - who are you targeting it toward? Individuals? Power users? Consultant/freelancers? Small business owners who want to see what's taking up all of their employees' time? Large enterprises who can use this to increase employee utilization?<p>You might even think about marketing <i>just</i> the analytics, and "bundling" the task app. Good luck!
