This being a kickstarter makes it a non-starter for me but it looks pretty promising: Hopefully they work great and become popular.

Ive only done it about 4 times in the last 10 years. The last time I changed my front tube was a few months ago, and it took me 10 minutes, which I know for a fact because my adhd ass went to sleep without doing it, thinking 'I'll wake up early and do it before work' and then promptly forgot until 15 minutes before I was supposed to leave. Granted that was in my kitchen not on the side of the road, with a real pump not a portable one. The biggest thing that helped me was getting a good pair of plastic tire keys or whatever they're called. They slide in my little maintenance pouch, are lightweight, and super easy to use. Like 6 bucks on Amazon or something too.
