Original Summary

I built a business tool that doesn't have an app or dashboard I've been working on a side project called MemoTask after becoming interested in a fairly simple problem. A tradesperson can finish the actual job, but the administrative work doesn't finish with it. There is still the customer record, the follow-up, the reminder for next year's service, and potentially repeat work that depends on somebody remembering it. I wondered whether the answer really needed to be another app. So I built MemoTask around ordinary SMS instead. A tradesperson finishes a job and texts something like: John Smith 07123 456789 boiler service completed 23 Bond Street, needs a follow up next year MemoTask records it and schedules what needs to happen later. When the time comes, it can contact the customer, and if the customer wants the service, alert the tradesperson. I extended the same idea to letting agencies, where the problem is less about repeat work and more about keeping track of compliance tasks and being able to retrieve the record later. The thing I find interesting about the project is that I've deliberately tried to remove software from the user's experience. There is a database and automation behind it, of course, but from the user's point of view their phone is effectively the interface. I'm now at the much harder stage: finding out whether people actually want to work this way. I've tried some Facebook advertising, but so far that hasn't translated into meaningful usage. So rather than pretending I've launched something wildly successful, I'd be interested in what other builders make of the idea. Does removing the app/dashboard genuinely reduce friction, or am I removing something users actually expect and want? MemoTask: memotask.co.uk   submitted by   /u/reporticaai12 [link]   [comments]
