Funny to contrast the ubiquitous to-do app's model with intentions which might deeply matter to someone, like "I want to make sure I'm taking my ideas as seriously as possible." Tasks are such a misleading way of thinking about intention. But hey, it's easier to build a to-do UI!

I read recently that the Silicon Valley perspective of the world is that all problems need to be solved with products. Even here in a dissenting voice, it’s seems like the suggestion is that the cure to consumerism is consumerism.
