Nearer
Nearer is a calmer to-do list for people overwhelmed by long lists. Work through tasks, routines, and flashcards one card at a time.
About
You open Nearer to one card. Not a board, not a list stretching past the fold, just one task, one habit, or one flashcard, sitting alone until you finish it or move to the next.
Add tasks, build routines, or study with flashcards. Routines reset on their own schedule: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, manually, or the moment you complete them, so a habit you do every morning shows up fresh every morning without you managing it.
Flip a flashcard list into study mode and Nearer runs spaced repetition behind the scenes. Mark a card Again or Got it. The algorithm decides when you see it next; you never see the algorithm.
Your place syncs everywhere. Close the app on your laptop mid-list, open your phone on the train, and the same card is waiting.
Nearer skips the dashboard, the Gantt chart, the color-coded priority matrix. If you want to see everything you have committed to at once, use something else. If seeing everything is what overwhelms you, use this instead.
Every account gets a 7-day trial. No card required to start, no free tier to fall back on afterward. You decide whether to keep it once the trial ends. Nearer is built for one kind of person: someone who opens a long list and feels their chest tighten before they read past line three.

you can try to validate before launching but if it takes you like one or two weeks to make an MVP it's not that much of a risk anyway so you might as well just build it
Skip Pre-Launch Validation If Your MVP Only Takes One Or Two Weeks To Build
Angus argues that for tiny one-thing apps, the cost of building is so low that pre-launch validation rituals (surveys, landing pages, interviews) aren't worth the time. Ship the MVP first and let real usage be the test — the build itself is shorter than the validation theater.
If you are shipping new features and experiences that you know people churned because you didn't have them, you can reach out to those people and let them know: hey, you asked, we listened.
Open win-back copy with "you asked, we listened"
Map cancellation-survey reasons directly to shipped features. When a feature lands that fixes a specific churn reason, the win-back email opens with an explicit 'you asked, we listened' callback. The copy works because it's only sent to the segment that actually asked — generic 'we miss you' messaging gets ignored.
There's a play for whatever you're stuck on.
