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.

What's your useragent?

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…

Not gonna lie, having an Android screenshot inside of an iPhone on the landing a page really threw me off.

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.

DAGs can have things that would form cycles if they weren't directed, like diamond shapes.

Which this can also have. One concrete action could contribute to two intermediate goals which in turn could both contribute to one parent high-level goal (giving a diamond).

What about when my tasks are cyclic?

1. can’t get up because haven’t eaten and too hungry

2. can’t cook because can’t get up

3. can’t eat because can’t cook

Didn’t think of that did ya buddy! Day 2 of quarantine is going very well.
