I disagree. I think creativity is still a valid moat. You still need to build good products. Its like a restaurant anyone with some money can open a restaurant but you need to has the creativity to make a good one.

You for sure hit the minimalist aspect and it's a good looking app! I am not sure if you're mean in general time tracking or with Timeretain. In general time tracking no but I use time tracking for personal use and not for tracking paid projects. For me having a mobile app is a big deal since I use it track personal habits etc but thats probably more of niche use. My advice would be keep you focusing on your minimalist approach since you saw the need for that but I would investigate toggls business model and see if you can match that while catering to a different subset of users. Good luck!

I am not saying that everything should be free but once this has a price tag I can't see why I would pay for this when I can use Toggl for free. Toggl is more mature thus more feature rich and stable, it would be a hard switch.

The number that was quoted was "in the ballpark of 30%"

I disagree with this. I work at a large US bank and from the conversations I have been apart all the big banks are moving into crypto. So much float is moving out of the banks that they are scramble to catch up to try and control the damage. They are all planning to become crypto banks in a custodial sense to maintain float. Lots of people want to hate the new trendy thing but once this gets mainstream banking support everyone one will be on board.
