This is very interesting, I'm building something similar, an open source todo list + calendar at https://getartemis.app.

I also had the same issues with todo lists and calendars. They don't communicate with each other. A calendar treats events as the main abstraction when in reality I want it to treat tasks as the main abstraction. When tasks are main, a lot of problems with todo lists are solved, especially the lack of intra-day time bounding for them. I want to know exactly what to do at all points of the day, so that I can get more done. Of course, most people aren't as serious as me, but having such an abstraction is still good for them as well.

In a way, this is great user validation if people are having similar problems and are building their own solutions. I wish Rise all the best.

That being said, rather than having text, a mockup with images or better yet, a video, would work better. On my site, the entire video is only an animation mockup, and it's gotten me over 1.3k email signups already (yes I know email signups != revenue, but it's interest at least).

Nice landing page, but I am missing the "Pricing" section, I would never sign-up to a product that doesn't disclose pricing beforehand.
Thanks for the feedback, it's free during beta, but I haven't released that yet so it's just signing up for the email list for now.
Nice, but I would still mention that.

Plus there is no info/ToS regarding submitting the email, for what I know you could just collect emails and sell them.

You're right, I'll have to add that in, I just haven't gotten around to making a ToS yet.
Oh my gosh, this is so much more intriguing than OP's landing page.
Thanks! What drew you to it, or made it intriguing, if you don't mind me asking?
Thanks, looks cool!
