This is my first show HN, and honestly I'm a bit nervous. I have been working on building this web app in the background for quite a while. I initially built it because I was doing a lot of consulting work and needed a simple interface that would allow me to keep track of all of my tasks and events in one place. Without distractions. After using it personally for several years at this point I've decided to see if it would be useful for anyone else. I'm currently collecting feedback. Any input on what works, or what's confusing about the app is helpful. Thanks, and Happy New Year! –Daniel

Had a quick glance and it seems like a good start. Not sure why it hasn't got any upvotes yet. Edit: then again, -a number of other interesting stories are failing today. Maybe try again in a few days and maybe even contact the mods; I think they might help you if you have a good story.

Good to see. May I know your infrastructure and cost of monthly deploying. I have one app and want to deploy so looking for cheap options.

  The app is built with Rails + JS. It's hosted on Heroku, so the monthly costs are reasonable and I have the flexibility to scale the server and database up or down when needed.

I like the typography, I dislike the name as -in my opinion- it lacks connection to what the app does. I'm not your target audience, I do not use these kind of apps (and I tried several), but even so I find that the landing page does not refer to anywhere with more information. An starting guide (open to the world) or something similar as to visually see how the app works (at length) would help discoverability for people that consider that free registration is a cost too high to pay.

  Thanks that's definitely useful feedback. The app was originally called Progress Wall, but I renamed it because the name became problematic given current politics.
