Everyone is adding more features to productivity apps. I think that’s the wrong direction.
Everyone keeps adding more features to productivity apps.
I think that’s the wrong direction.
The real problem isn’t lack of features —
it’s the friction of actually using them.
• too much manual input
• too many separate tools
• too much context switching
So instead of adding more, I tried removing as much friction as possible.
That’s what I’ve been building over the last 8 months:
• type what you want instead of filling forms
• tasks → scheduled instantly
• everything (calendar, tasks, reminders, timers) in one place but not in an intimidating way. Just simple modules for all of them.
Still early, but this approach already feels way better than my old setup.
Curious if others think reducing friction matters more than adding features.
