This is great. I also made an "audience of one" list manager that I've been using for over a year. It's very specific to my personal preferences (so very different from what you built) and like yours, desktop only.

I'd love to see it, if you're willing to share!

I'm always super interested in these kind of tools. Unfortunately the demo movie isn't loading for me, not even when I directly browse to the source url.

I had to download the video on my before being able to watch it.

I just added a YouTube link so that this isn't required.

You can see it here: https://radar.braintapper.com - it's hosted on the cheapest possible VPS, so it's obviously not scalable (was public for friends and family, but I guess we're all friends here, haha)

The original (buggy) prototype, which was static and stored data in the browser (eventually I added syncing via PouchDb/CouchDb) is here: https://bt-apps.github.io/braintapper_radar/

Does this help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xd3JJi8zSk4

Yes, thanks! Much appreciated. Made a todo to check out the repo when I'm on my laptop again :).

Very interesting. Is the UI written with mobile in mind, or do you only use it in desktop settings (like work-related productivity)?

Desktop only for now. I use the "Saved Messages" feature in Telegram to make notes on phone, and transfer them over later, and delete those messages to avoid build up. From the beginning, it was never limited to work-related productivity. Examples of things that I've been regularly tracking: - Habits: Wake Up / Sleep times, Daily Routine items I want to build consistency on, like exercising and meditation. - Tracking…

That sounds like you get a lot of good utility out of it. A lot of it are things were I would have expected a mobile use case, but maybe there is value in explicitly making it two steps: rough recording in telegram and later taking the time to go over it again and put it more nearly into Glados.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I hate to say but the text there is impossible to read.

Apologies: it is a desktop app, and so I recorded the demo on [HD resolution]( https://github.com/kaustubh-karkare/glados/blob/master/src/d... ) to make it look as close to my intended experience as possible. I'm assuming you're on mobile, so later today, I'll try making a separate demo video specifically for this case.

On tablet it’s too tiny as well.

It did seem like for most of you pr demo about half the screen is blank. I think you could easily reduce the resolution by 1/3 and not confuse the demo at all.

> maybe there is value in explicitly making it two steps

Not that I can tell. Telegram is ultimately a workaround, not a feature. Not building a mobile app is primarily the result of the limits on my time (and to a smaller extent, skills, but that can be solved with time too).
