Progressor – coach that breaks down big goals into actionable steps
I built Progressor to help with a problem I kept running into: setting ambitious goals but getting stuck in planning, motivation, or knowing what to do next. You start by describing your goal — the more detailed, the better. Progressor then asks a series of targeted questions to understand your situation. Based on your answers, it creates a personalized step-by-step plan with small, focused daily tasks. Each task comes with relevant guidance and resources. You can adjust the plan at any point, and Progressor sends reminders to help you stay on track. This is not a habit tracker or to-do list…
In plain words
Progressor is a goal-planning tool that converts ambitious objectives into actionable daily tasks. Users describe their goal, answer targeted questions about their situation, and receive a personalized step-by-step plan with guidance and resources for each task. The plan can be adjusted as needed, and Progressor sends reminders to maintain momentum. It targets people working toward large or vague goals—such as launching products, career changes, or completing projects—who struggle with planning and follow-through rather than needing a simple habit tracker or to-do list.

You can adjust the plan at any point, and Progressor sends reminders to help you stay on track. This is not a habit tracker or to-do list — it’s a structured way to move forward on goals that usually feel too big or vague (e.g. launching a product and reaching €10k MRR, switching careers, finishing a personal project). Would love feedback from anyone who’s ever struggled to push a long-term goal over the finish line.

Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
