Seems like some neat ideas here. but I am a bit confused who the customer is for this.

I am a software engineer that heavily uses todo tracking apps, but this isn't for me.

I use todoist to manage my life. Critical features are mobile app and scheduling tasks.

I use jira to manage project work. Critical feature is multi-user.

This is desktop only, so I can't use it for my grocery list.

This doesn't seem to let me share tasks with other people to track my progress and delegate work.

I guess if I am a solo dev and I wanted a private system to track my tasks that isn't JIRA, then this is useful?

Agreed the target audience for now is single users & private only.

I'm currently working on separate collaboration version which will be dumbed down but similar to how google docs / figma work - so you can see other users write and interact live.

It's definitely useful as a benchmark: it's the fastest, most streamlined task wrangling - and generally, tree-wrangling - UX I've seen so far, seemingly ahead of structured editing tools for Lisp like Paredit, though I'd have to play with Todool to be sure. If its existence generates enough pressure on more mainstream tooling to improve its ergonomics, that'll already be a huge win for the entire space.

Are you saying this is a rare thing? I doubt many solo devs use JIRA.
