Every developer:

'Wow there are a 1000 of ToDo apps. I can't possibly try them all. So I will write my own ToDo app that does exactly what I want!'

Result:

There are now 1001 ToDo apps.

ToDo/productivity apps is a very tough market. I know because I wrote a visual task planner for Windows and Mac (hyperplan.com) and struggled to get enough visibility to make it commercially viable, despite a lot of rave feedback.

The same is true for group apps (manage a team; organize events with random people, etc. apps)... so many options... and so far every single season my kids have participated in a sport I've been privileged to try a new one... :-\
