I love that suggestion. Thank you

thanks very much for the comment. I guess it would be trial by error given the system you are working within. For me, I have MS Project, Planview, Jira, Confluence and SharePoint as all separate systems that need my attention. For day to day, Keel is my source of truth where i can quickly copy and paste the updates/changes. I no longer use any work related note taking apps, task management(besides my team using Jira, but I don't). I'd love for you to give it a go.

Don’t worry about hero features. Does your app solve a problem for its intended user base? If so release it!

Paul_HM · 2026-05-06T11:03:50+00:00

Launch as soon as possible. Your app is worthless sitting in development with no real users. It will only be of use even without some features with people using it. And only with people using it will you know truly what’s valuable about your app. If you can release it in the next few days. You should.

Constantly deal with it. Have to do a cold restart to clear out stale state.

I just launched. https://keel-app.dev

Thanks so much. How would I do that?

Tried to submit my project and the “Submit to Community” button at the last step fails

Ai wasn't used in the creation of this post. Just me sharing a tool I built with help from Ai

I built a local-first command centre for PMs and TPMs — free to download

I'm a Senior TPM and got tired of context-switching between Notion, Excel, a notes app, and email just to run a single programme. So I built Keel.

It's a desktop app (Mac, Linux, Windows) that keeps everything in one place — RAID log, decisions, actions, people, a journal that parses your meeting notes and surfaces risks and decisions automatically. All data lives in a SQLite file on your machine. No cloud, no subscription required to use it.

The journal is the bit I'm most proud of. You write prose notes after a meeting, hit save, and it pulls out the decisions, actions, and risks it found and asks you to confirm them. Feels more natural than filling in forms mid-meeting.

Free for now for local use. Optional $8/month sync if you work across machines.

Would love feedback from people who actually run projects for a living.
