Google has their own similar internal software called Snippets that instead of nightly sends out an email once a week, collects responses and sends out a digest along with a web app interface
explanation of software:
http://tech.pro/blog/1490/how-it-works-google-s-snippets http://tech.pro/blog/1490/how-it-works-google-s-snippets
some former google engineer rolled out an open source version of the software that with some factoring, nightly cron jobs instead of weekly and potentially a cleaner user interface for the web app could prolly fit your needs

- zach 13y agoFWIW, I've used http://www.snptz.com/ http://www.snptz.com/ off and on since it debuted on HN some years ago for weekly snippets. I've since developed my own daily forward-looking/backward-looking format, essentially a simple text-based mashup of David Seah's inspiring productivity forms: http://davidseah.com/productivity-tools/ http://davidseah.com/productivity-tools/
- flylib 13y agointeresting never seen http://www.snptz.com/ http://www.snptz.com/ before, did it work pretty good?
- zach 13y agoIt did for my needs. It's super-simple, yet you can choose to use it just via the weekly emails or the web interface. It's open source as well (in Python for App Engine): https://github.com/tedpower/snptz https://github.com/tedpower/snptz Looking at the code, I noticed it actually supports teams, a feature I've never used but that looks quite functional.
- gknoy 13y agoThanks for linking David's stuff, that was something I didn't realize I needed.
- jkaljundi 13y agohttp://weekdone.com/ http://weekdone.com/ is a service allowing this via web, mobile and e-mail as well. There's even a Google Snippets template. (disclosure: I am a co-founder at Weekdone).
