I'm working on a web-app which starts like a feature-rich to-do list app, but shifts the focus towards planning out larger life goals, and tracking progress: http://imgur.com/a/tSPHP In particular this week, I've been working on solidifying the quantification side of the app (see the first two screenshots) - i.e. making day-to-day productivity (and lack of productivity!) towards big goals something that's measurable…

I spotted this on Saturday and have been using it since. Honestly, excellent. To-do lists and productivity apps seem to be a dime a dozen, and I've tried them all. They're generally shit. Yours is the best I've seen, so I've converted to paying.

I filed a little bug report with a few issues I spotted, but nothing breaking. I hope you get enough traffic to make it worth more of your time. Thanks.

I've been playing around with this concept for a couple of years (never having executed) and was expecting to be disappointed but this is very thoughtfully executed. I only wish this was open source :)

I can imagine, my need for it as a personal tool was strong enough that I just couldn't resists building it haha, it evolved quite a bit further than I expected though. Could I ask why you'd have hoped for open source? If it's any consolation, I'm making the API completely open, and I'd have no problem with custom clients. In fact, I may even consider open-sourcing the default web-app client. But as for running it as…

Also, thank you for caring about making a great product rather than caring about making money. There seem to be fewer of you around these days. ;)

Just wanted to say that the time, effort and thought you have put in this project is a very apparent once you spend a few minutes poking through the UI. Excellent execution. I like how as a new user, you get to start 'simply' (no trackers or readings or due dates or targets) and the UI is not overwhelming and add those things as/when you need them. The dexterity of the application is not obvious when you see /use it…

This is very encouraging to hear, thanks for taking the time to share!

Single founders have a very high bus factor, and for any other reason that you decide not to continue supporting the product, there's some insurance for people who invest a lot of time and data in the product as early adopters if the source lives somewhere. I think you should make money for your work. I don't have time to research now, but I'd bet there's a boilerplate license that would protect your work while allow…

Ah right, yup fair enough. Data export is definitely on my radar, but it's a bit early at this stage. As you say, worst case, you'd be able to extract your data via the API.

Yes, good point - it's just a single contact form at the moment, probably time for an upgrade.

Re caring about making a great product, that's alright haha. I used to be a money chasing developer, but I had a bit of an epiphany, and realised that trying to help others improve their lives means a lot more to me than spending my life acquiring and hoarding possessions and wealth!

Nothing really fancy like other people here. I'm making an admin template based on bootstrap. It's my first attempt at it and I plan to sell it on wrapbootstrap/themeforest (if they find it good enough for their marketplace). http://i.imgur.com/Q12ACJu.png http://i.imgur.com/7gqyQiN.png http://i.imgur.com/sEVu6lG.png

Love the design. What are you using to make your graphs?

Thanks! Sorry for the late reply. I'm using flot charts [1] for the big traffic graph and peity [2] for the smaller ones. Apart from that, there are some other good options like morris.js [3], Chart.js [4], flotr2 [5], xCharts [6] and sparklines [7]. There are more if you search for them but I've used the ones I mentioned in the template. Added more screenshots of the charts pages. [8] [9] [10] [11]
