Prioritize
Visualize tasks on different priority boards
Today I shipped a sharing feature to prioritize.
Users can use this to share their priorities with others.
Here's the merge request for it https://github.com/songthamtung/prioritize/pull/1
Since everything is open-sourced and client-side, I did not want to involve any server-side code since the API token and/or credentials would be exposed.
So I deliberately used the URL query string. I know the link generated can be really long, but you can always mask it using hyperlinks.
Perhaps in the future, I can include if there is a demand for it:
- login
- link shortener

Hi Everyone,
This is my first launch on ProductHunt and I'm really excited to introduce you to Prioritize today!
In a nutshell -- this tool helps you create, visualize, and prioritize tasks on a drag and drop interface with different priority boards or matrixes.
The prioritization matrixes are:
- Effort / Impact
- Risk / Value
- Eisenhower
- MoSCoW
What inspired me to do this?
Imagine having a big list of todos and you have no idea where to start. Priority boards are basically XY-axis charts that can help you make better decisions.
I'm also a Product Manager and as such, I am responsible for gathering requirements, mitigating risks, and prioritizing the backlog. To put it simply, my role is to decide what the team works on and why. This is easier said than done, so we frequently reference prioritization matrixes--which is really helpful as a guideline, but painful to execute online.
Doing this IRL is quite fun since the work consisted of whiteboarding with sticky notes and sharpies. But given the COVID-19 situation and everyone working from home, replicating a similar experience online turned out to be a nightmare.
I ended up scouring the internet in search of a simple tool that can help me visualize tasks on different charts, but I was unable to find any. Then my engineering brain started kicking in. I became frustrated enough with manually recreating charts and tasks on Google Draw and wanted to scratch my own itch, so I developed a prototype that came to be known as Prioritize.
What started off as an internal app for visualizing tasks on different quadrants became much more meaningful as my team found value from using this and quickly adopted it. So I figured that if this is useful for my team, then it might be useful for you, too.
I'd love to hear your feedback!
Cheers,
Songtham
P.S. this is best experienced in Desktop. While you can use Prioritize on your phone, the UX is not as good. The drag-and-drop library that I use doesn't have mobile touch capability, so I quickly found a plugin that enables this to some degree.
