Nice! Seems like a beefed up version of https://teuxdeux.com/

Seems like that, yeah. The thing that I’d need, which is what bugs me with teuxdeux as well, is an option to add some notes or more elaborate text on the entries. Sometimes it’s just not enough to have a few words to describe what I want to do. Maybe it’s not the purpose of the app and I’m looking for something else which is already there but my current method is calendar blocking.

I've used Teuxdeux for a while and encountered the same problem. I've tried so many productivity apps and ended up building my own PM tool.

Tweek/Teuxdeux works great as a minimal weekly planner. If you want a more feature-rich Monthly/Weekly/Daily planner, check out https://upbase.io/ I'm the founder of Upbase, and it was on Show HN just a few days ago.

I love upbase, but I’d say it’s bad form to go on somebody else’s announcement to promote your own product, despite the fact that they both fill very different roles.

Thoughts?

Sorry, nope. This looks exactly like Teuxdeux, and even borrows some very similar product marketing imagery. (https://teuxdeux.com/)

Also Weektodo: https://weektodo.me/

There are so many hard & interesting problems out there - software & otherwise - and this space doesn't need yet another re-skin with one or two tweaks.

Upbase is a PM tool and not a direct competitor of Tweek, so I think giving people more choices is not so bad. Anyway, shame on me for this promotion.

Same with the toothpaste aisle, pasta sauce aisle etc. Sometimes personal preferences are part of the value prop.

Cool - doesn't mean everyone with a reskinned app gets a participation trophy.

Sometimes people need to hear tough feedback...lest you become one of those people that quit their jobs and audition on American Idol or something.

This feels unnecessarily harsh. So what if you don't think it's a 'hard and interesting' problem?

Couldn't you have applauded the effort and offered some constructive criticism regarding your preference in look and feel?

If everyone just bums everyone out it ends up taking monumental confidence to try and achieve anything. Be better.
