What is Reddit's opinion of Nach?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Depending on what your goals are, you might find this app I'm working on helpful: https://nachapp.com. It ties together a few different things (breaking down goals, to-do list, progress tracking, etc) which is a combo I couldn't find anywhere else.

You can subscribe to your Nach calendar with Google Calendar (and any other calendar app that supports the iCalendar format) - see here for instructions: https://nachapp.com/help/guides/calendar-subscription

Thank you very much! If you haven't seen already, there is a way to get an icon on your homescreen and launch it without the browser chrome - see here. But yeah, real mobile apps will be coming once the platform gains more traction and things have been ironed out.

Yeah it's web based only at the moment, I've set it up as a "web app" on my android (ie it has its own homescreen icon that just opens the page) but both android and iOS apps are currently in the works according to the roadmap

For me I only really use it on my android for quickly adding new ideas/tasks or checking things off the to do list and I do all the sorting and organising when I'm at home or at work on a PC.

I've been using Nach for the past couple of months and it appears to be a pretty good replacement.

It's still under development so missing some key features but I find the default simplicity with the ability to fine tune things under the bonnet works really well for me.

People say that Todoist and remember the milk are also pretty popular replacements but I tried nach before I tried them and didn't feel the need to try anything else so don't know myself.

Hmm, I see what you mean, I think adding those statuses as first-class citizens might confuse things a bit though. Perhaps some sort of custom tagging system for steps? E.g., you can specify you want steps tagged with "waiting" not to appear in the to-do list, and can also filter to show all steps tagged "waiting"?

Yup completely understand the motivation for personal backup - it's kinda already possible to those with scripting knowledge via the API (work in progress docs), but I haven't got round to building it into the site, as it's not been requested much yet. I will get onto that in the near future though, and drop you an email letting you know when it's possible. (It will probably be in JSON format)

Ah I see what you mean. Personally I'd recommend a slightly different workflow for those 2 examples:

1- While the tracker can be used to see how your max running distance improves over time, it's not really considered by the system to be you actively doing something. Say there was a tracker for bodyweight - it would be incorrect to assume that you'd done something substantial by submitting a reading (all you've done is stepped on the scales).

So what I'd recommend in addition to the tracker, is a repeating step called "Go for a run". This is what you see in the to-do list, and once you've completed your run, you tick it off, and log the distance you ran in the tracker. I can still see why it might be useful to be able to add today's reading from the convenience of the to-do list, but I think the step should be there too, as it will show up in your history chart etc.

2- This is ideally what habits are for. Before their introduction, those sorts of things were done like you're describing through trackers. But in the end it just turned out to be a bit inelegant as a solution. Check out this blog post on habits: https://nachapp.com/blog/2014/habits - I think a habit of "Do a set of pushups", which you can +1 multiple times per day, would be easier to manage?

Impressive! Feels very thought-through and polished. Feedback of very minor things:

• Your blog doesn't seem to have an rss feed, or at least I can't get it to work?
• your intro video is too quiet
• For my personal taste, the nesting close/open animation are superfluous or at least a tiny bit too slow. An option to disable them would be a nice touch
• Goals can't be deleted via the right-click context menu but steps can
