I built a goal-oriented task manager
Hello HN! I've been working on a task manager (https://plocs.com) that combines a todo list with project management. Unlike most task managers, Plocs supports task dependencies and makes working with them easy. Thanks to dependencies Plocs is better in two important ways: 1.) You can plan in a goal-oriented way. Start with your goal and then plan the steps you need to get there. 2.) You can tell very easily which tasks you can work on: the ones that don't depend on other tasks are shown in a list to the left of the screen. Would love to get your feedback! PS: If you click on "Start…
In plain words
Plocs is a task manager that combines to-do lists with project management through task dependencies. It is designed for people who want to plan goal-oriented workflows, starting with an end goal and breaking it down into dependent steps. The tool displays available tasks—those with no blocking dependencies—in a dedicated list, making it clear what can be worked on immediately. It supports dependency management to help users understand task relationships and project flow.

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
