What it does
Many plans fail even when everything looks right. Everyone agrees, no objections, and the decision is “done.” Yet execution slows, momentum drops, and follow through weakens. Not because the plan was bad but because belief was never surfaced. Confidence Check helps teams sense real confidence before execution begins by asking one simple question: “How confident are we this will actually work?” Not to debate or blame, just to learn early and avoid silent failure.
Quickly surface belief and doubt before moving on.
Not a commitment check. Not a mood check. Just a fast way to see if people believe this will actually work. The first person to join sets or edits the question. Once locked, everyone sees the same prompt. Each person rates their confidence from 1 to 10. Optionally add a one-line reason. Results appear once 2+ responses exist. Concerns surface. Patterns emerge. This tool answers one question: Do we believe this will work? It's not about commitment (that's All In). It's not about mood (that's Room Read). It's about surfacing doubt before you move forward on something that might fail. Use it when you need to check whether the group actually believes in the plan, not just whether they're…from cognu.app

I built a 2-min quiz that shows you how bad you are at estimatingApr 2026 · convexly.app · ▲20I've gotten to the point in my career where I now make strategic decisions often (hiring, firing, choosing what equipment to go with, etc.), as well as in my personal life where I need to strongly weigh my options for a big purchase or investment. I found a not-so-surprising parallel between the two as these decisions "resolved." Am I making good decisions or am I getting lucky? Did some research, read some books, and realized I should get in the habit of tracking my decision process. That quickly turned into the idea that formed Convexly. The landing page is a 10-question calibration quiz…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
