It’s been about 3 months since I started something, www.jottpad.com. Exactly ZERO people signed up aside from myself and the 10 beta testers for my soon to be released iPhone app.
What are we to learn from this…
- Jottpad is not very compelling in the current form - we live in a mobile app world where all the potential users want this optimized for their mobile device.
- If the only reason I’m using it on a daily/weekly basis is because I wrote it - we need to bump up the useful quotient a little more.
When the point of Jottpad is to jott down anything you don’t want to forget - the obvious solution to all these problems is make a native, mobile iPhone app. iPhone users always have their phone - it’s the one thing I won’t leave home without. I rarely even walk around the house without the iPhone in my pocket or in my hands.
Alright, let’s make an easy to use, great looking, fast iPhone app that supports all the functionality and syncs with www.jottpad.com. So I did.. I bought my first Mac since college on January 14, 2011 & I got to work. I’m happy to say that with a week or so more of beta testing Jottpad will be ready for submission to the app store.
