Location based to-do list - Oct. 2011

Location based to-do list.
An application that lets you keep your to-do list items, and reminds you when items from your list are just nearby you

Many of us today use a stand alone to-do list/task list on our smart-phones.
There are already few cross-platform apps, so your list is always synched with the web interface, your desktop and your cell phone.

You have your items listed. that's for sure.
But of course, you're not always viewing your to-do list. How many times did you view it and realized you just got back from the mall, in which you could have bought this and that from your list? damn, you're home already. well... maybe next time.

So on your to-do list, there is a "making your wife happy" item: Buy flowers. you don't want to forget that!

You walk in the mall, just trying to get your coffee, and suddenly you get a notification to your smartphone "Dude, your to-do list has flowers in it. Zer4U is on the 2nd floor. we now have a sale just for you...."

  • There's a need to support cross-platform
  • There's a need for some cooperation from the goods providers. the store should provide some data of the goods they supply. this has to e refreshed from time to time

Show me the money......
Money can come from 3 main sources, but I guess I can think of more:
a. Advertisements within the mobile app
b. The shops within that mall (For example) will pay if they want to be in the index, so the user will see them as an option for getting that item.
c. The shops within that mall (For example) will pay if they want to be in a higher priority than other providers for the same item.

I think the best way to approach this, is to have a module of ours built in to well known to-do list apps (There are a few)
