Zen Dev Planner

Go from 'Idea' to 'Launched' with a clear personal playbook

January 8, 2026 I've watched too many founders waste months on the wrong things. So I'm building a planner that tells you exactly what to do next

Hey IH community 👋

I'll get straight to it.

The Problem I Keep Seeing:

Everyone hits the same wall: they know they need to plan, but they don't know what to prioritize. Should you focus on product features? Marketing? Finding your first customers? Building your landing page?

Most project management tools just give you a place to put tasks. They don't tell you which tasks matter at your stage.

Why I'm Building This:

I'm tired of seeing founders follow generic "startup playbooks" that worked for one specific person, with one specific product, in one specific situation—and they get presented as universal truth.

"Just post on X every day!" (What if you don't have thousands of followers?)

"Network at every event!" (What if you're introverted?)

"Do founder-led sales!" (What if your product is B2C?)

Every founder is different. Every product is different. Every market is different.

The one-size-fits-all playbooks ignore this completely. They give you a path, not your path.

What I'm Building:

A phase-based startup planner where you:

  1. Tell it your phase (Plan, MVP, Launch, or Grow)

  2. Describe your situation in plain English

  3. Get a personalized action plan across Product, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Operations

The AI understands startup context. It knows what matters in MVP vs. Launch. It adapts to YOUR situation—your skills, your resources, your personality, your market.

Not generic advice. Specific, actionable checklists tailored to where you actually are.
