My first update here for my new product, a personal productivity dashboard

I am building a personal productivity dashboard called "Better Today" for quite sometime now.

Better Today is a personal productivity dashboard for busy professionals (like me). It will help them manage their day (and their life) by tracking their goals, tasks, life, health and habits. It will make sure that they have a clear view of their northstar at all times.

For any planner to be effective, it has to be with you at all times. That is why I am building a web app, mobile apps for both Android and iOS and also a Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension.

When life started to take over this product and I did not get time to work on it for a few weeks continuously, I decided to start building in public and become accountable to anonymous users.

Right now I don't have anything to sell. I just wanted to talk about what I am building and (perhaps) get some feedback and answers to my questions.

For the last two weeks I have been submitting a weekly status updates on a subreddit. The last one was today at https://www.reddit.com/r/EntrepreneurRideAlong/comments/j0qpib/update_week_2_for_better_today_my_app_which_is_a/ and I started interacting with a lot of awesome people there.

There I found a bunch of people who wanted me to send them a status update personally on their DM too. So that put a real responsibility on my shoulders.

I also have a public Trello board with a list of tasks https://trello.com/b/uDGJZrLn

I have seen significant improvement in my productivity once I became accountable.

Today I visited IH and was pleasantly surprised to see that now "Building in Public" is a group in it's own. This is so awesome.

I will publish my status update here too every week till I release.

Thank you IH for this.
