honest initial take, feels a lot going in the UI. I think it would be useful if you have some kind of a guided journey asking users a bunch of questions...and then build an initial plan...then enable them to customize

Lol... I have to admit it’s pretty engaging. Although now it feels like I’m just hating on things like ADP which literally processes my paychecks and performance reviews

Interesting idea for sure. But as a software engineer, I’m struggling to map out what this would replace today. I use Cursor pretty heavily, but it’s not entirely clear what would make me jump to a new IDE based on what you’ve built so far.

Maybe I’m missing something.

love the idea! I am going to give this a spin.

personally, I am always trying to time box tasks, to drive sense of urgency.

The thin progress line under the menu bar is a really nice touch.

Congrats on shipping! I’ve actually been thinking about a somewhat adjacent problem, but more geared towards fundamentals investors. However the caveat with fundamentals though is that they don't change that often.

I feel the UI is pretty cluttered and noisy. Especially the fonts below the charts are too small to read.
