Show HN: I built my own PM tool after trying Trello, Asana, ClickUp, etc.

Hey HN,

Over the past two years, I've been building Upbase, an all-in-one PM tool.

I've tried so many project management tools over the years (Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Teamwork, Wrike, Monday, etc.) but they've all fallen short. Most of them are overly complicated and painful to use. Some others, like Trello, are too limited for my needs.

Most importantly, most of these tools tend to be focused on team collaboration and completely ignore personal productivity.

They are useful for organizing my work, but not great at helping me stay focused to get things done.

That's why I decided to build Upbase.

I try to make it clean and simple, without all the bells and whistles. Apart from team collaboration, I added many personal productivity features, including Weekly/Daily planner, Time blocking, Pomodoro Timer, Daily Journal, etc. so I don't need another to-do list app.

Now I can use Upbase to collaborate with my team AND manage your personal stuff at the same time, without all the bloat.

If these resonate with you, then give Upbase a try. It has a Free Forever plan though.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

Did you build this all by yourself? Looks like a great tool.

Does it support Markdown? That's what I find lacking in many of these PM tools - they either use some custom, complicated markup, or wysiwyg, which makes it hard to format text properly and copy and paste text.

Upbase looks great!

“most of these tools tend to be focused on team collaboration and completely ignore personal productivity.” - did you consider tools like Todoist and Nirvana which are more individual-focused? (Yet Todoist has project sharing and collaboration for teams as well).

Also remember the best to-do list app will fall flat if you don’t pair it with a good method and a lot of discipline - kudos for including some links to relevant materials in your web page.

Like CEOs who say they build datacenters and international branches.

I always read those as "I lead the team that built it"
