Looks great! I might have missed it but does it support flexible recurrence for tasks? E.g. "change furnace filters every 3 months" but not on a fixed schedule but 3 months from when I last completed the task?
Yes, it does support custom repeat.

#172I am the author of https://Nestful.app (there's some overlap, but we do not seem to compete). I have built it after being through the same ordeal, and have come to the conclusion that the tool is not the main hurdle, especially at the level of Trello or Asana, which are very high quality tools.

for perspective, i built a personal crm that told you who to engage next (via a dynamic contact list powered by interaction data streams). it failed[0] because this was not actually the biggest pain point of sales people (folks most likely to use and pay for such a tool), and it was too important a decision point for users to rely on it solely. a smart tool, it turns out, isn't all that useful, even though it has wow…
Very useful insight, thank you for sharing

#173Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's rare to see offline support in a web app for a few reasons: LocalStorage is easy to use but too limited at 50Mb. WebSQL got deprecated by FireFox because of secuirty issues years ago ( albeit is still somewhat supported in Chrome ). The FileSystem API looked promising, and then google killed it. IndexedDb is the only option, it's slow on writes, therefore requiring major hacks like absurd-sql to be performant. I…
> 2GB of persistent storage 2 GB is a lot when you store plain json document data. > IndexedDb is the only option, it's slow on writes Only when you need a new transaction per write. Writing many documents in a single tx is not slow [1] > Safari are known to delete IndexedDB after 1 week This is not really a problem because if you have not used the app for one week, you can just replicate the data from the server aga…
I had not looked into RxDB before thank you.
By any chance you know how much their Premium plugin with IndexedDB support costs, their price is not listed.

#174Does it have offline support? This is the one thing I'm missing the most about Notion, Miro, Google Calendar, and all of this - offline support. In German trains, I'm offline, on flights, I'm often offline; while traveling, I'm often offline. Offline capabilities are often neglected.
Offline is nice in theory, but not as useful in reality. For solo projects, I will skip all the fancy tools and just use org-mode (emacs), which is offline. For a company project, most people don't get to decide which tool to use. Besides, if you spend significant time in a project management tool, even if your title is project manager, there is something seriously wrong with the project already. In which case, the tools is not the problem you should be worried about.

#175Dragging tasks from the board to the calendar and pomodoro are great features. I've been looking for an app like this for a long time. I will go for lifetime access. Congrats on a great idea executed well, and thanks.

Since you haven't provided any information besides "Try it, you'll love it", I tried it, and I'm sorry to say our relationship didn't work out. My Notepad++ is more useful. You comment in a thread on a PM tool, and your app seems like a scratchpad. For sure it fill find its users, but it's a far cry from Upbase and similar projects.
Notepad++ sets the bar extremely high

Like others have said, your comment here is very interesting and makes me want to learn more, but your (pleasantly minimal) homepage has no more information. Amplenote has a unique "idea/concept" they're designing for, and they spell it out in a series of very interesting blog posts [1]. I don't practice their "idea funnel" concept but their blog post made me interested enough to eventually subscribe to their service…
Great idea. Thank you

#178Tech stack?
Re: Show HN: I built my own PM tool after trying Trello, Asana, ClickUp, etc.
#179There is another competitor, perhaps, which is any simple, agreed-upon way to share data. For example, a Google doc and a calendar. That also has downsides, but that's probably what I would try before Trello etc. Are you trying to attract those types of people?
Yes, and I think these types of users will find our app useful.

Glad that you like it. And thanks so much for your support. There are still a lot of exciting features coming in the upcoming months.
