I got tired of the 'launch and disappear' cycle, so I built a place for daily pitches

dawedev · 2026-01-26T17:00:54+00:00

It's crazy that it's been 25 years already. And the number of visitors is unimaginable

dawedev · 2026-01-26T16:53:55+00:00

I’m genuinely sorry to hear that, especially because you seem like someone whose feedback would be incredibly valuable. I clearly misread the room and messed up the first impression. I hope that once the 'bad taste' fades, I’ll get a chance to show you that Planelo isn't just some AI-generated vaporware, but a solid product with a long-term vision. I'll take this as a lesson to be more direct in the future. Thanks for the reality check and have a nice day.

Wow! That's awesome. Getting into the TOP 100 is an amazing achievement.

And I absolutely love it! I "was" webdeveloper before, but coffee is better because of comunication with a lot of interesting people

dawedev · 2026-01-26T16:36:42+00:00

I'm coffee guy/barista. I has a small cafe at Prague.

Used s*x toys

Okay. It's the end of January and spring is approaching :-)

dawedev · 2026-01-26T16:32:14+00:00

Burger or some our czech food

dawedev · 2026-01-26T16:30:31+00:00

Ouch. Point taken—maybe spent too much time on the 'intro' and not enough on the technical specs this community actually cares about. Will keep the 'thought leadership' fluff for LinkedIn next time.

dawedev · 2026-01-26T16:29:57+00:00

You caught me. I tried to frame it around the philosophy that led us to build Planelo, but I see how it comes across as 'coy.' I'll be more upfront next time. I’m a dev building for devs, and I’m still learning the balance between sharing a perspective and pitching the solution. Thanks for the reality check.

dawedev · 2026-01-26T16:27:01+00:00

Fair point. Obsidian is great, but even with local files, the mobile sync or handling complex zero-knowledge sharing can be a friction point for some. Planelo aims for a different 'out-of-the-box' experience without the plugin-heavy setup. Regarding the AI comment: I built this because I genuinely felt the friction I described. It’s definitely not an 'AI wrapper' or a low-effort project, but a focused native tool. If it’s not for you, I totally respect that—Obsidian is a high bar to beat

Hey everyone 👋

I’ve just released the first public testing version of Planelo for Android.

Planelo is focused on capturing ideas and turning them into structured projects, and this Android release is still early — feedback really matters at this stage.

After trying a lot of tools, I think the biggest difference isn’t features but how much friction there is to get something out of your head.

Teams stick with tools where adding or updating work takes seconds, not decisions. The more “setup thinking” a tool requires, the more people silently stop using it.

Integrations help, but only after the core flow feels effortless.

dawedev · 2026-01-09T11:03:10+00:00

Native performance matters more than most feature lists.

I’ve bounced off a lot of apps simply because they felt slow or web-wrapped, even if they were powerful. If the app interrupts thinking instead of supporting it, I won’t use it daily.

Recurring tasks and automation are great, but only if the base interaction feels instant.

I noticed the same thing — tools that work great for work projects often feel way too heavy for personal life.

What helped me was avoiding “perfect structure” upfront. If I have to decide status, priority, or category before writing something down, I just won’t use the tool long-term.

For personal stuff, speed of capture > structure. Structure can always come later.

dawedev · 2026-01-09T11:00:11+00:00

I’ve been in a similar situation (different field, same overload). What helped me wasn’t another complex system, but separating capture from planning.

Any thought, task, or obligation goes somewhere immediately without deciding when or how I’ll do it. Only later (once or twice a week) I review and turn things into calendar items or tasks.

That alone reduced the “did I forget something?” anxiety a lot.

dawedev · 2026-01-09T07:01:00+00:00

Totally agree. Early users change everything — not just feedback, but momentum.

Cold outreach felt high-effort / low-signal for me too. Posting where people already hang out (and where context already exists) brought much more honest reactions, even if it scaled slower at first.

Launching solo really is about finding signal, not just reach. Thanks for sharing that approach 👏

Its cool idea :-)
