#112Our companies timesheet software (Kimai). It can do drag & drop. It's like Google Calendar, but keeps track of all employees time.

#113I’ve been building my own: https://akiflow.com . Allows me to consolidates my tasks in the same place from multiple apps (notion, asana..), turn emails/slack messages into tasks, view all my calendars and drag&drop tasks to do time blocking.
I really like this but I need multiple people to have access to my calendar for scheduling. If you can figure how to build this for small teams I'd love that.
We are working on it! Would be great to have a chat to talk about how you would like it :)

#114For task management I use Todoist and couldn't be happier! Knowing they never allow themselves to be bought brings peace of mind that's unrivaled: https://blog.doist.com/no-exit-strategy/

I started using this to keep track of university assignments. 8 years later it's still my go to for personal things. It serves a different purpose then a calendar but the two together solve everything I need

Looks promising to me, but 15$ a month is too heavy, I find. 5 $ a month would be a no brainer to buy and switch to it personally.
But I mind apps giving them access to my email box only for comfort.
Try to merge this product with tutanota (or proton) and I would pay 25 per month!

#116I created my own web app for it - https://easylists.app
My biggest issue with other apps is that I would create an industry of creating plans or todos. I would have massive backlogs and then never look at any of the tasks for months or even years. I spent more time planning than doing.
Using EasyLists, I create lists like 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Shopping tomorrow' or 'Now' and use them in a short time frame and _delete_ the list completely.. the same as I would if I was using a pen and paper.
Other points to note if anyone wants to use it:
* No signup or accounts
* It saves locally against your local storage
* It has no tracking or analytics
* It currently has one known bug that I will get around to fixing eventually - it doesn't affect functionality.
* It is _not_ mobile friendly (yet)

Thanks for the feedback! At the moment your gsuite token is only stored on your machine and the synch happens between your device and google servers. We’ll may change this in the future to improve performances and multi-device support tho

I also, after having used all the systems out there, keep coming back to paper.

Re: Ask HN: What’s your favorite tool for planning your day?
#120I read a comment somewhere in hacker news about a guy managing their daily planning on a locally saved plain text file. I started doing it and _loved_ it. But after a while I was missing some of that nice WYSIWYG UI interface. I couldn't find an existing tool which allows me to continue to use that local text file and also have a nice pretty interface. One thing led to another and I ended up scratching my own itch by…
This looks pretty cool. Any plans to add support for images?
