š Excited to share my latest product with the Product Hunt Community! Remindr is a super simple & affordable way to schedule reminders with SMS. Why did I build something on-top of a "legacy" method of communication? š
SMS isn't dead. It's still one of the best way (along with email) to communicate because it's a standard protocol. It's available on every smartphone; doesn't require users to download an app & is pretty reliable.
But that's not really why I built Remindr. Whilst I'm not coding or implementing incident strategy at Symantec, I'm a Scout leader. I volunteer to help build the skills of 6-8 year olds. However, almost every week/every term, I get the same messages from parents such as "when are we back at Scouts?" and "when are we visiting X" and I also have to ask "can you remind Y to bring their homework". My parents use WhatsApp, Messenger & iMessage... I hate having to use multiple methods. SMS is much easier, they all have access to this standard.
š I've successfully used Remindr with my Scout group, and it's a 100% success rate. Leaders say this has helped plan better & parents love the way this reminds them, in a simple way.
You could use Remindr for many things ... from your business to community to education.
šø Best of all, I needed this to be affordable for me and my group. It's a simple one-off payment that gives you credit. Then, you can top-up (launching soon) with credits as and when you need them. No more subscription or wasted credits.
š Looking forward to feedback!
@christopher_lee4 Thanks! So, with SMS, it's already baked into every single phone. If you provided a native app, not only does it cost to build (iOS plus Android), your users have to download ANOTHER app. In terms of email, I've read several research papers that state email opening rate is 20%, whereas SMS is 98%... that clearly shows SMS is in some way more effective.
It really comes down to your audience, and what your product is. SMS won't always be the answer, but neither is an app/push notifications or email :)
