heyy folks .. am haider, the solo dev behind PopTask .. i'm launching a big update here on july 7 (it's now on iphone + ipad, not just mac) and figured i'd start a conversation instead of just showing up launch day
the whole thing started from one annoyance: every to-do app makes me fill out a form for a 2-second thought .. title, date, time, repeat, reminder .. and by the time am done i've half-forgotten why i opened it .. so i built the opposite: you type the mess the way you'd say it ("gym mon wed fri 6am") and it becomes a real scheduled task in about 3 seconds, no forms
For years, I've loved reading books, research papers, and long-form articles. The problem wasn't finding good content it was turning everything I learned into presentations that I could actually share.
I tried many AI presentation tools, and while they were great at making beautiful slides, they all seemed to start from a short prompt.
