  We took "Show HN" out of the title. Show HN is for things that people can try out now, not just sign up for: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.

    Whoops! Thanks for the heads up, dang.

  If you need an app to help you get stuff done, it is a sign of problems with the tasks at hand. Maybe the end value of these tasks isn't exciting enough. Maybe you haven't sorted out what you truly care about. If something feels so much like drudgery that you'd forget about it without an app, perhaps you shouldn't be doing it at all.

    But how do you truly define progress?
    • a3voices 12y ago
      The things you count as progress should be important enough that you don't need an app to remind you. If your house is on fire, it's obvious to leave the vicinity for example.

  Looks interesting (I really like the colour you've chosen as well), but does it require Facebook (as it seems to from the landing page info)? If so,I'll be avoiding this unfortunately.

    Thanks! Yeah, so the way it works is you login with FB, create task, choose a friend, if you didn't do it, your friend can then write a message which will be posted through your account. Hence, they actually don't have "access" per-se to your actual FB.
