Thank you for posting this! I just spent a very enjoyable hour there and I’m sad others won’t be able to do the same in future. They appear to work with many institutions in a consultancy capacity so I hope that this will still continue in

I fully agree with the value of breaking down complex projects into smaller chunks tasks but I’m not sure it needs a chatGPT wrapper. Doing it yourself using an app like https://tatask.com will be much more beneficial. You need

I built Tatask.com for this! I want to have easy visibility over everything but quickly drill down into specifics so it uses a tree structure for tasks. You can break down any project into smaller and smaller sections to whatever degree you

Wow, that's incredible to hear, what a major turnaround! As someone who has close people suffering from alcoholism, I can understand how tough it can be to encourage change. It is cool that you're planning on telling the story in

That was not your mistake, I only added it after reading your initial comment! Thanks for the detailed response, I understand what you mean by not wanting to give your credit card info out. I used to not have that requirement and then was e

That would be a fun Go project! I don’t need it for most personal things like shopping lists etc. but when I do it’s invaluable. I also don’t understand how people work like that! Dependencies is an interesting idea that i’ve thought about

I've been testing it out recently and it's been quite successful but I am about to change that to a soft paywall. I'm thinking 7 days with an occasional nagging paywall and then you get an extra 30 days free if you add credit

Like every programmer before me, I created a to-do list app of course! However, as a programmer, I prefer trees to lists so I made a to-do tree app. I have been using it religiously every day since to manage all aspects of my life in a way

https://tatask.com Tatask is an infinitely nestable task management system designed to help break down complex projects into simple, actionable steps. Task lists don't convey enough information but task trees help with hier

It works well as a progressive web app and on mobile browser but it's not truly native yet so I'm building native versions to give the best UX possible. Given that Task management is all about UX it's an important step to tak

That's what I used to do too. It works great but I wrapped it up in an app for myself so that I could include scheduling, favouriting to plan my day and some other UX enhancements over a .txt file.

The innovation is modelling projects as a tree that can be broken down into smaller chunks. You can nest as deeply as you like and therefore break down even the most complex ideas into actionable steps.

This article encompasses lots of the reasons why I dislike traditional todo apps as well. Unlike the author I did end up creating my own solution which solves a lot of the problems suggested by using a tree structure instead of a list struc

Lots of people on the Svelte subreddit were interested in how I implemented reactive list filtering using dynamic data after I posted a video demo. I wrote a tutorial on it and thought some HN readers may find it interesting too.
