24 alternatives to cheat-code
I've used all kinds of productivity apps but the best I've used (8 years and going) was a Google Sheet that I maintained with my friends where we would keep our to-do lists. Being able to see each others lists would make us actually complete those tasks in the face of peer pressure and shame. So we decided to make our sheet into a web app so that everyone can use it. It's basically a calendar where you keep a to-do list and your friends can view them. You can also comment on those tasks (it's great for keeping up with friends if you don't use Instagram like me) and get notifications. It's…

Cheatsheets could be a powerful tool for lots of people, especially a full-stack developer like me, but I hate online cheatsheets for a few reasons: 1. Most online cheatsheets are pdf files or webpages. I can't add my own stuff, nor only take the parts that are useful to me. 2. There is no easy way to search across all the cheatsheets I've collected. 3. Can't make part of a cheatsheet private, therefore, I have to delete sensitive stuff before sharing mine with others. I ended up using multiple txt files to store mine over the years which is cumbersome as well. So I built Cheaki.com. On…

Wellcome▲95Hi everyone, I got tired of the daily "Where is everyone working from?" / "Who's coming in today" messages in various slack channels. So I built *FindMyTeam*: it's a Slack app that pings your team once a day with three buttons – Home, Office, Traveling – and then shows a quick who's‑where summary (plus a monthly heat‑map in the App Home to see patterns). How it works: * Once a day the app posts a reminder to check-in * Either hit one of the three buttons, or use natural language (AI, yo! ;) * The app maintains a summary each day in the channel * Reminder times can be customized per…

We created Slash (https://getslash.co/hn) after realizing that todo list apps are hopelessly broken. They're great at making lists, but offer you no help in crossing them off. In fact, they often create even more stress when you're staring at a list 100 items longs. Slash is a task "do-er" that helps you CRUSH your list by focusing on one task at a time. Quickly enter your tasks, hit 'Start', and the window shrinks down to a small always-on-top window that shows your current task and how long you've been working on it. When you're done, hover over the task name and click…

Care to share a screenshot and the 'killer feature' of any of your personal, self-built productivity tools? eg. I made my own calendar and money-tracker last year - there are no other users, it makes no money, I have no plans to make it public, but it holds my life together :) http://i.imgur.com/h2keJDg.png GREAT BECAUSE... it tells me how much I'm going to get paid this month. Absolutely no ulterior motive here (ie. I'm not canvassing opinions for a productivity app startup or anything), just interested.
