Things
the moat is real
18 years 232 days and counting
Cultured Code, 2008. Still the task app with taste.
Why it lasted
- Cultured Code ships slowly and the app looks like it. That is a feature.
- Local-first, pretty, Apple-only. The constraint keeps it coherent.
Times it almost ended
- OmniFocus, Todoist, Reminders, TickTick. Things kept the people who wanted the toy that is also a tool.
What would finish it
- Apple Reminders becoming as nice, plus a decade without a vision. Reminders got closer. Not there.
