there is another similar one that i use: https://www.progressbarosx.com/
I came to this story hoping for a version of that app for non-MacOS users. For fellow Linux users with that feeling, I wrote up a 10 minute hack¹ to emulate it poorly.

#24Hi HN Creator of Progress Dashboard here. I've been working on Progress Dashboard for almost a year now. This is a simple chrome extension to replace boring new tab with a useful dashboard. With Progress Dashboard you can access progress bars for year, month, week, day and hour. You can also create one for specific tasks with start and end time. You can select a background from image, gradient or Trianglify. Progress…
Good job for the launch :)
A short question:
> Progress Dashboard comes with a Distraction Free Mode to stay productive.
Isn't the progress dashboard a distraction in itself? That's at least my experience with those kind of tool, but I didn't try "Progress Dashboard" to be honest.

#25Some feedback: You should put an example of a use case for some of the task bars in your website photos. "Task Progress" doesn't really convey any type of value to me. Maybe a specific example like "Gym sessions attended" would help show new users what the app can be used for.
Thanks for the feedback! Just updated the site
If you're looking for example use cases, first thought was that it would be fun to see a countdown until my wedding, which I suppose would take the form of "% of engagement completed."

Maybe too direct, But why is it paid? I don't mean it shouldn't be or whatever. I'm just interested to know what is your thought behind "Support the Indie Maker Movement" you've mentioned.
It's only 1$.
You cant make something like this in 8.2 mins considering minimum wage is 7.5$ in USA. Why make things for free anyway, people rarely appreciate things they get for free.

That really wasn’t the question.
I’m not asking why it is not free!
But off topic, > people rarely appreciate things they get for free
If people wouldn’t appreciate it, so many people wouldn’t create so many free software/plugin/tool/book/content.
