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.

"Kid - you'll never be an astronaut/actor/president/cure cancer. You might as well give up now."

Lol THOSE are actually useful / interesting / hard problems worthwhile solving - or at least working through.

We need more computational biologists solving protein folding problems or the like to cure humanity’s greatest ills. NOT a todo app with a new sticker on it.

I currently use cron.app but I expect that will die since Notion acquired them. One feature you should consider adding to the premium plan is calendar blocking across calendar. That way if I add multiple calendars, and I am busy on one, it auto blocks that time on others. This is a surprisingly complex tech problem to solve, but if you can do it, that's a meaningful feature for power users of calendars. Best of luck…

Don't put that out in the universe! I also use Cron, and personally really enjoy it so I'd be really bummed if it totally died. I had hopes the acquisition would mean more investment in Cron, but it's pretty noticeably slowed in velocity recently. :(

Does Cron have that feature?

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 b…

Have a look at https://teuxdeux.com. It's similarly laconic as Tweek, and the default view is "now and the next few days".

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.

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

But also at a certain point adding another choice that’s barely different from the last one leads to decision fatigue and ends up propping up the status quo. If you asked me which bespoke calendar app was right for you I’d have no idea and probably just suggest gcal.
