Tesla's FSD problem isn't the technology, it's the positioning. It's genuinely good at what it does but selling it as "Full Self-Driving" set an expectation it can't meet. If they had framed it as the best safety feature, always aware co-driver watching out for you, people would trust it far more and adoption would be much higher.
I had the exact same experience with my web app, about 10 years ago.
My conclusion was that productivity forums are more of a support group than a place to find users for new concepts.
I built an app that is 100% flexible to adjust to how you want to work, and I think most people expect such an app to tell them how to work and it has to be simple.
This is a concept I tried to sell many years ago, it is not available, but I still use it and believe this is the most flexibility in todo list. Will be happy for feedback
Not sure exactly what you have in mind as a solution for small businesses, but I’ve been working on enabling small businesses to achieve a high level of customization with minimal effort by leveraging Google Sheets and the Google Apps Script environment.
The insights gained from artificial intelligence about neural networks can help explain why facts often fail to change our minds. Repeated exposure to certain messages strengthens the neural connections that support them, embedding these ideas deeply in our memory and influencing our perceptions and beliefs. As a result, when we encounter facts that contradict these established beliefs, the brain is less likely to integrate the new information. Instead, it relies on the well-worn pathways created by repeated messages, making it challenging to replace old beliefs with new facts. This process shows how repetition can entrench ideas, creating mental resistance to changing perspectives even when presented with solid evidence.
The experiment in California is much better. Give a contractor $2500 per homeless person per month for a tent in the park. Data suggest that this increased the number of apartments the contractor owned, as well as the number of homeless people, which will then increase the number of apartments the contractor can buy
2. Postwaves - social media with distributed moderation, I lately realize the algorithm is very similar to tiktok, except that for tiktok video's you vote by how long you watch a video and not by actual vote (much harder to get)
Few years ago I experimented with a social media in which User-submitted posts become visible only after filtered and ranked by random anonymous polls sent to sub group of the community.
It requires members to vote once in a while but eliminates biases and increase diversity.
I got some activity but did not have the time to keep alive and experiment. I still think the concept have potential, maybe someone will refine it one days.
I developed my own gmail app script to accommodate my personal workflow, where all tasks and task-related information, including Gmail inbox, are organized and scheduled in the same hierarchy.
Here is why I think it makes me extremely efficient
1. I can group and nest together Emails, to-do’s, files and links that are related to the same goal, my lists are now much shorter and manageable and I can focus on my goals instead switching between gmail, todo’s etc..
2. Since my gmail Inbox is fully integrated with my to-do list, I don't need to manually and tediously maintain and synchronize them.
3. Scheduling a goal with sub-emails and tasks hide them and bring them back when I need them.This further reduces my clutter and makes sure I will not forget anything.
4. I can organize my plans and thoughts as I organize and drag inbox Emails, To-Do’s and Ideas into their related tasks.
5. Since every email has a natural place in my task hierarchy, I can quickly empty my Gmail Inbox and deal with email when dealing with their related tasks.
What made it stick for me was processing my gmail inbox (which I must do), inside my todo list, which quickly created a habit.
BTW I tried to market the solution and gave up, either most people think different or I am just a bad marketer.
My personal realization that Evolution is the other “theory of everything”, with the exception of the laws of physics, evolutionary processes are shaping everything, including progress in science, economy, history, politics, ideas, social, emotions, religion, etc.
