What it does
10x your productivity and stress less with Timebox.so, a digital daily planner inspired by Cal Newport's Deep Work. Master the art of timeboxing to structure your day, enhance focus, and achieve more deep work.
" A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure. " " Now, you might think that blocking out your calendar with everything you have to do is a recipe for panic. But, I actually find it super useful way to manage my tasks and stay on top of my stress. " Drag and drop timeboxing scheduler, to-do lists, progress tracker, Notion-style notes, and calendar syncing - all in one place. Keep track of your tasks with a to-do list with sub tasks, and tags. Drag and drop to-dos into your scheduler to allocate time for them. Timebox.so syncs your timeboxing schedule with Google Calendar to keep track of all your events…from timebox.so

Hey, just wanted to share with you guys and app that I built and deployed in a day with Lovable. So, as a founder I always wanted to have an advisor but my budget would always be less, then on the other hand hand I had Paul's essays on Startup Advice, which I never read because I was busy building stuff. Hence, I built this product which comes into a sweet spot of both at the same time being more reasonable and capable than the alternative. ps: it's running on a reasoning model and tbh I've been able to gather pretty good insights from it. Note to PG: If you're seeing this. I'm your big fan.…

Hi HN, I am a solopreneur in the evenings and a software engineer during the day. In the past, I have created lots of calculators for my web projects and freelancing friends. These were pretty basic, but users always welcomed them. I also used currently available builders, but the problem was that they were either slow, broke on mobile devices, had nonsense page view limits, or were expensive. Some even ticked all those boxes. So I have decided to create my own, with a simple interface, and called it Creative Widgets (if it ever takes off, I plan to add more exciting stuff like charts, etc,…

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
