    Hi HN, We built Shadow, a real-time meeting assistant that listens to your call and surfaces useful prompts while you’re speaking. The idea came from a simple observation: during important conversations (sales calls, founder meetings, interviews) you often realize the best question or insight 5 minutes too late. Shadow tries to solve that by acting like a quiet wingman during the call.

    Hi HN! This is Daniel from Floutwork (https://www.floutwork.com) Floutwork is an all-in-one desktop app designed to serve as a personal work system, offering a no-BS approach to getting real work done online. Background: When I transitioned from a development role to a product management role, I realized there was no real organization or structure to the way I worked as a PM. Tasks I needed to complete were scattered across emails, Teams, meetings, etc. I was inundated with emails and found myself juggling multiple browser windows, numerous open tabs, and other desktop…

    Hey HN, I used to be the poster child "10x" engineer. I always went far beyond the job description, actively involving myself in everything and having no issue working late hours/weekends/vacations if necessary to achieve my goals. I did this because I love engineering and it brought me a lot of career success, but it wasn't until recently that I realized this was actively destroying my life and leading me to an early death. Putting work above my own life completely ruined my social life, and eventually made me so stressed and anxious that it became impossible for me to relax and…

    Hi there, EndurePath has been my main project over the past few months, and I’d love to get feedback from the HN community.

For those reasons I’ve added simple mood tracking, tiny tasks, and to keep you engaged personal companion with AI insights. Disclaimer: it’s NOT your personal psychologist or complex application with tasks that cure your past traumas and I don’t have plans to add complex tasks, since there better alternatives that already exists.
