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.

It let's me try it on my phone without forcing me to sign up for another potential throwaway account that will spam my inbox, so that's at least one thing that I already like more about it than it's competitors.

And the design is really refreshing. It looks like a native app in my iphone.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

There’s a balance being positive for effort vs giving everyone participation trophies. Sometimes tough but fair feedback is appropriate and needed. Let’s not pretend that the vectors for “effort” and “impact” should be orthogonal.

To me your feedback doesn't seem fair and not thought out well though. Notes/Calendar/Todo apps will evolve forever, there is no one size fits all and there won't ever be.

Which is exactly why they are A waste of time. I have yet to meet a developer that doesn't have an idea for a notes/calendar/organizational tool. The point is that organization is such an individual problem that it always needs a custom solution and yet each solution will only be valuable to a handful of people.

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?

IMO not bad form since it's useful for the average HN reader to have more choices. As a customer I want to see competition between vendors, that's always a good thing.

This is an absolutely amazing onboarding experience. Drops you right into the product and you "get it" almost immediately. Then context pops up and describes what you just saw with the option to continue playing before signing up.

Love the call to action in the sample too "remember to save :point_up:" - but that wording threw me off a bit. Why save and not "save by logging in"? Does saving not happen automatically after every change?

This is a stunningly beautiful app! The thought and care put into the user experience really shows, and works particularly well for my brain.

I’d love to see support for more of a week-agnostic format. That our weeks traditionally start on Monday or Sunday means nothing to me. If it’s Friday or Saturday and I’m mapping out my next five days, I’m stuck with the jarring experience of having to navigate back and forth between two arbitrary groups of days.

I’m imagining a layout option where of the 7 days, day 2 is always today, perhaps with some sort of smooth-scroll snapping capability that lets me granularly travel forward or backward through days as needed.
