Not an impossible idea, but project management for life. Construction project at home? Punchlist, budget, progress tracking, vendor relationship, contract management, dependencies and blocking. Comparison shopping? Gift lists, family research, nominations, voting, chipping in for purchases. Cooking at home? Family nominates a recipe for dinner, cross reference pantry, add needed items to shared grocery list. Transportation? Whos taking what kids to what events, in the event a plan changes, a push notification goes out to all parties (friends, drivers not in the family.) Budeting? Projected cashflows. Asset allocation in multiple accounts is incredibly complex, with different family members having different roles. Being able to budget and save, while still giving extended family privacy. Signing a kid up for soccer, or starting a new construction project automatically updates the budget. Calendars exist, task management like asana exists, financial management like mint and personalcapital exists. But tools are either too generalized or too specific to interact with other ultra specific domains. An app knowing when someone leaves work, knowing they are the best person to pass a grocery store and pick up kids en route from soccer. We have all sorts of complex interactions in life that require planning, and they are often extremely repetitive sequences. The apps that do exist in these specific fiends often dont facilitate collaboration with other families. tldr: instead of generic task management, management with detailed workflows, workflow interactions, automation, consensus building. |
