I was using Trello with | eight lists (Mon thru Sun and a 'backlog') as a sort of proof of | concept. | | One 'feature' I was using myself was a 'rolling week': The | leftmost column is always today [1]. At the end of the day, I'd | make a point of clearing out all items that were not checked off: | They either move to one of the upcoming days or back into the | backlog. At first I thought I would want some automatic behavior, | like always moving unchecked items to the next day, but it's | actually become a useful end-of-day ritual for me to see what I | did not do, whether it is still important and if and when I want | to do it. Then, when everything out of 'today' is either checked | off or moved elsewhere, the day moves to the end of the rolling | week, so that on each day of the week I always have a visible | window of seven days. | | Another feature I started using regularly was the 'copy' | functionality that Trello has built in: it's just practical to be | able to quickly duplicate items and in the process define into | which day they should go. | | [1] Actually the second col from the left, because I had the | backlog as the leftmost one | | Edit: I should clarify that I wasn't using this as a _calendar_ | but rather as a Todo app/list. I'm still using macOS' regular | calendar app for everything that is more than 7 days out. | revskill wrote: | Thanks for the launch. | | This will be my idea for my new project. | airstrike wrote: | Love the idea but my data having to live on someone else's | servers makes it an unfortunate non-starter for me | dwlfrth wrote: | Totally agree. The idea, design, UX, everything is awesome. | What would make it even more awesome would be a way to run it | on our own infra. | [deleted] | dsp_person wrote: | Love seeing the live app come up first thing without needing to | register, log in, etc. | rayrag wrote: | Weektodo is a similar app, it has web version and apps for all | OS. And it's open source. | | https://weektodo.me/ | | https://app.weektodo.me/ | | https://github.com/manuelernestog/weektodo-web | avtar wrote: | From the repo's read me: | | "For now the WeekTodo it is a Freeware application and not open | source." | xrayarx wrote: | Can confirm, not open source | epsteinisntdead wrote: | I'm kind of a privacy nut, but it's hard to take anyone | seriously who says, "We're not open-sourcing this, but you | can totally, 100% trust us." | r3trohack3r wrote: | This is an absolutely amazing onboarding experience. Drops you | right into the product and you "get it" almost immediately. Then | context pops up and describes what you just saw with the option | to continue playing before signing up. | | Love the call to action in the sample too "remember to save | :point_up:" - but that wording threw me off a bit. Why save and | not "save by logging in"? Does saving not happen automatically | after every change? | TIPSIO wrote: | Absolutely stellar. Will definitely give it a try. Great job and | thanks for sharing | tomschlick wrote: | Nice! Seems like a beefed up version of https://teuxdeux.com/ | randomluck040 wrote: | Seems like that, yeah. The thing that I'd need, which is what | bugs me with teuxdeux as well, is an option to add some notes | or more elaborate text on the entries. Sometimes it's just not | enough to have a few words to describe what I want to do. Maybe | it's not the purpose of the app and I'm looking for something | else which is already there but my current method is calendar | blocking. | tonypham wrote: | I've used Teuxdeux for a while and encountered the same | problem. I've tried so many productivity apps and ended up | building my own PM tool. | azundo wrote: | Looks like they advertise that as a feature of the premium | version. | s3r3nity wrote: | Sorry, nope. This looks exactly like Teuxdeux, and even borrows | some very similar product marketing imagery. | (https://teuxdeux.com/) | | Also Weektodo: https://weektodo.me/ | | There are so many hard & interesting problems out there - | software & otherwise - and this space doesn't need yet another | re-skin with one or two tweaks. | bobbylarrybobby wrote: | One or two tweeks* | _def wrote: | It let's me try it on my phone without forcing me to sign up | for another potential throwaway account that will spam my | inbox, so that's at least one thing that I already like more | about it than it's competitors. | galfarragem wrote: | And the design is really refreshing. It looks like a native | app in my iphone. | iamben wrote: | This feels unnecessarily harsh. So what if _you_ don 't think | it's a 'hard and interesting' problem? | | Couldn't you have applauded the effort and offered some | constructive criticism regarding your preference in look and | feel? | | If everyone just bums everyone out it ends up taking monumental | confidence to try and achieve anything. Be better. | s3r3nity wrote: | There's a balance being positive for effort vs giving | everyone participation trophies. Sometimes tough but fair | feedback is appropriate and needed. | | Let's not pretend that the vectors for "effort" and "impact" | should be orthogonal. | iamben wrote: | "Kid - you'll never be an astronaut/actor/president/cure | cancer. You might as well give up now." | s3r3nity wrote: | Lol THOSE are actually useful / interesting / hard | problems worthwhile solving - or at least working | through. | | We need more computational biologists solving protein | folding problems or the like to cure humanity's greatest | ills. NOT a todo app with a new sticker on it. | _def wrote: | To me your feedback doesn't seem fair and not thought out | well though. Notes/Calendar/Todo apps will evolve forever, | there is no one size fits all and there won't ever be. | Snoozle wrote: | Which is exactly why they are A waste of time. I have yet | to meet a developer that doesn't have an idea for a | notes/calendar/organizational tool. The point is that | organization is such an individual problem that it always | needs a custom solution and yet each solution will only | be valuable to a handful of people. | haliskerbas wrote: | Same with the toothpaste aisle, pasta sauce aisle etc. | Sometimes personal preferences are part of the value prop. | yunwal wrote: | But also at a certain point adding another choice that's | barely different from the last one leads to decision fatigue | and ends up propping up the status quo. If you asked me which | bespoke calendar app was right for you I'd have no idea and | probably just suggest gcal. | s3r3nity wrote: | Cool - doesn't mean everyone with a reskinned app gets a | participation trophy. | | Sometimes people need to hear tough feedback...lest you | become one of those people that quit their jobs and audition | on American Idol or something. | droobles wrote: | That's pretty cool! Love the design. | indiantinker wrote: | Nice and clear design! All the best. | flappyeagle wrote: | Would pay if it had bidirectional google calendar sync. Right now | it's only google calendar into tweek | | My CC is ready | OriginalPenguin wrote: | What did you write it in? | sfaruque wrote: | The web view looks great, with a "week planner" feel to it. I | instantly got it and started adding some items to it. | | But with the mobile and Mac app (haven't tried the iPad app yet), | it shows a "list type" view (not sure if that's the correct | term). | | Are you considering adding a "week planner" view to at least the | Mac app? | imilk wrote: | The name makes it sound like a calendar for methheads. Which | would probably be very useful, but I'm sure that's not the | intended audience. | Promyvion wrote: | This is a stunningly beautiful app! The thought and care put into | the user experience really shows, and works particularly well for | my brain. | | I'd love to see support for more of a week-agnostic format. That | our weeks traditionally start on Monday or Sunday means nothing | to me. If it's Friday or Saturday and I'm mapping out my next | five days, I'm stuck with the jarring experience of having to | navigate back and forth between two arbitrary groups of days. | | I'm imagining a layout option where of the 7 days, day 2 is | always _today_ , perhaps with some sort of smooth-scroll snapping | capability that lets me granularly travel forward or backward | through days as needed. | ghewgill wrote: | Have a look at https://teuxdeux.com. It's similarly laconic as | Tweek, and the default view is "now and the next few days". | lawgimenez wrote: | Will it sync to iCloud calendar? | bevenky wrote: | You may want to redo your video voiceover with | https://wellsaidlabs.com/ | adlpz wrote: | I don't see any pricing in their site.

I knew a few years back that this was | going to be possible and easy a few years down the road, but | didn't realize we were there yet. Amazing | lawgimenez wrote: | Would love to try premium like for 30 days though. Or 7 days. | tonypham wrote: | Tweek/Teuxdeux works great as a minimal weekly planner. If you | want a more feature-rich Monthly/Weekly/Daily planner, check out | https://upbase.io/ | | I'm the founder of Upbase, and it was on Show HN just a few days | ago. | imwillofficial wrote: | I love upbase, but I'd say it's bad form to go on somebody | else's announcement to promote your own product, despite the | fact that they both fill very different roles. | | Thoughts? | tonypham wrote: | Upbase is a PM tool and not a direct competitor of Tweek, so | I think giving people more choices is not so bad. Anyway, | shame on me for this promotion. | KaoruAoiShiho wrote: | IMO not bad form since it's useful for the average HN reader | to have more choices. As a customer I want to see competition | between vendors, that's always a good thing. | Void_ wrote: | Let the votes decide! | bberenberg wrote: | I currently use cron.app but I expect that will die since Notion | acquired them. One feature you should consider adding to the | premium plan is calendar blocking across calendar. That way if I | add multiple calendars, and I am busy on one, it auto blocks that | time on others. This is a surprisingly complex tech problem to | solve, but if you can do it, that's a meaningful feature for | power users of calendars. | | Best of luck with Tweek! | superchink wrote: | Does Cron have that feature? | bberenberg wrote: | https://cron.com/changelog/2022-04-11-event-blocking | mmcclure wrote: | Don't put that out in the universe! I also use Cron, and | personally really enjoy it so I'd be really bummed if it | totally died. I had hopes the acquisition would mean more | investment in Cron, but it's pretty noticeably slowed in | velocity recently. :( | benhurmarcel wrote: | If you don't complete a task today, does it automatically gets | moved to tomorrow? | bulldog13 wrote: | The world can't have enough ToDo web apps ! | FredPret wrote: | I tried upgrading four times with two credit cards.

I've been wanting to adopt similar designs in | some of my projects. | jordanmorgan10 wrote: | Hmmm, really cool idea - I could get behind it. But on iOS, the | app does not feel native. The transition timing is off, some of | the animations are super stiff - some tell tale signs. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-11-17 23:00 UTC)
