Ask HN: Review my new Web app - Weekis

#1
Please share your feedback on this side-project I've been working on lately.

Weekis is a minimal, unobtrusive and focused week planning tool - http://weekis.com

There are thousands of to-do lists, week organizers, productivity apps, time and task managers out there. Most such apps are overwhelming, bloated or obtrusive. Weekis is different in that it is minimal and unobtrusive.

I developed Weekis out of my own need to manage my weekly tasks better. While it requires discipline to manage time, I think that the discipline must come from within, rather than enforced limitations, nagging or nudging.

I've been using Weekis for the past few months and I've felt a clear improvement in my task management. I no longer procrastinate (as much).

Weekis requires no obligation. It doesn't throw constant attention-seeking, concentration-breaking alerts or reminders, yet it will make it easy for you to recall your weekly tasks and focus on what's important. Weekis provides a clear week view, without the clutter of dates or time slots.

You can create as many tasks as you want, but you may find that Weekis intuitively promotes the "do less" principle, by encouraging you to only have a few, more important, tasks each day.

I'll appreciate your suggestions.

I like it! I developed a weekly planner myself ( http://weekplan.net ) and I like the layout you have. A killer feature for me would be to be able to have sub tasks. (It would allow me to group my tasks by projects for example)

Thanks for your suggestion. Your app looks nice too.

real simple. real useful. already started using it -- feel free to email me if looking for feedback in a few weeks

First thing I thought when I read this is, oh no, not another time-tracking/to-do list software. There are so many, even ones that make the same exact claims that you did about being overwhelming.

However - I like this. Anyways the UI was simple enough to get me to start filling it out. It will be something else to see if I keep using it or not.

Would also be open to feedback in a week or so.
