Odd prompt when I try to sign up for an account in the web (i.ntention.app): after filling in an email and password, I get a prompt "Intention is requesting access to your dwmartin41 account."

I'm using Auth0 for the user login, and my domain on there is "dwmartin41". That's a very odd message, but it's basically saying you're registering an account on my domain. I'll see if there's a way to override the message with something more sensible.

A DAG isn't a tree. It's acyclical wrt the direction of the edges. Since this basically is an outliner, the name (or title of the submission) is misleading.

I’m not seeing how DAGs are distinct from forests (sets of trees) or outlines. They seem topologically equivalent.

Level n nodes can have arcs to level n-m nodes provided they aren’t ancestors. In addition nodes can have multiple parents.

Hey HN! I've just launched my latest side-project, Intention. Intention's an app to help you achieve your goals. The idea is that you create a graph of goals/tasks (intentions), with your high-level goals at the top and actionable tasks at the bottom. That allows you to create a collection of actionable tasks you can work on, and to visualise how they relate to your high-level goals. Any feedback would be much apprec…

I would suggest having a sensible DAG example in your flows on your homepage. Right now, you are not showing off your USP.

That's a good idea, I'll try to think of a nice example. I went with a tree, rather than a DAG, because I wanted to make the examples as simple as possible so as to not scare people off.

I understand where the message comes from, but it's an unusual message to get when registering what seems like a "first-party" account. If it's your domain and your app, they're in the same trust domain, so you could reasonably just trust it automatically. (Google doesn't prompt when you log into YouTube using your Google account, for instance.)

Signing in with Google fails in the app: 403. That’s an error. Error: disallowed_useragent Google can’t sign you in safely inside this app. You can use Google sign-in by visiting this app’s website in a browser like Safari or Chrome.

I've looked into it, it appears to be because Google is blocking oauth requests from webview apps. Sorry about that, I'd recommend either using the web app ( https://i.ntention.app ) or using a different provider to sign in.

When I use the web app I get the warning:

Intention is requesting access to your dwmartin41 account.

Doesn't inspire confidence in the amount of testing done.

Really cool, it would be nice if I could add costs for each edge on the graph too.

Good idea, I'd considered adding costs to the nodes but not to the edges. Do you have a particular use case in mind? I'll have a think about it and maybe add it to the roadmap, thanks!

I'm using auth0 to handle user login, and that's a message generated by their service. I agree it is very confusing, I'll see if there's a way to override it or disable it.

I've managed to disable that message, it shouldn't show up now

Looks really cool, congrats! What's your stack for the App + Webapp?
