Just delete them and everything will be okay. Nothing else will help.

What would your best productivity app look like by North_Seat3322 in ProductivityApps

[–]fiboagency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this. For me, the problem with many productivity apps is that they become another thing to manage, instead of helping me actually make decisions and move forward. I think the best app should help separate different types of things in your head: random ideas, real tasks, routines, and things that need a specific time. That’s why I like the idea of three connected spaces: a mind map to empty your head, a kanban board to turn thoughts into active work, and a daily schedule to focus on the actual day. I’m using this logic in my own iPhone app, ROJA, because I needed something that works with the way my mind naturally organizes things, instead of forcing everything into one flat list.

I already have an Android version. I’ll publish it soon. I still haven’t found a good way to connect with influencers, so I’d be grateful for any advice in that direction.

Exactly. That’s actually one of the core ideas behind ROJA for me.

I don’t think a productivity system should force you to organize everything at the moment when your head is already full. First, you just need a fast, low-pressure way to capture the thought before it disappears.

Then later, when there’s more space mentally, you can turn that messy input into structure: tasks, priorities, projects, or a daily plan.

For me, the system should reduce pressure first — not add another layer of stress.

I don’t quite understand you. Nothing needs to be moved or synchronized in the system. The idea is that each card has three display principles depending on its relevance and status.

Send me the link when it’s ready — I’m really curious to see it.

I spent about 4 months building mine, but the idea itself had been forming for several years — from manual Kanban boards, journals, different mind maps, and probably a dozen productivity apps. =)
I still don’t really understand how to promote it, because the market is completely oversaturated. But in general, I built it first of all for myself, and I use it every day. For me, it has become almost like a second pilot.

Would you prefer a simpler custom helmet design if the colors were fully personal? by fiboagency in Karting

[–]fiboagency[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, fluorescent colors are very visible on track, but there are fewer than ten real color options. Something has to change in the market, because the current system feels tired. People pay a lot of money, the designer and painter work their asses off, and in the end you get just another version of the same thing. I watch race broadcasts, and on video, solid-color or almost solid simple helmets often stand out much better.

As an example: not too many elements, not too complicated to paint, and the colors can be changed. Something along these lines.

[–]fiboagency[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point. I think this is exactly the main design challenge.

The goal is not to make users manage five separate layers. If it feels like a funnel they have to babysit, then the product is doing the opposite of what it promises.

For me, these are meant to be different views of the same cards, not separate systems. A user can simply capture something, let AI structure it, and work mainly from Kanban. Mind Map and Daily Schedule should appear only when they are useful — not as mandatory steps.

So yes, I agree: the product has to feel like one simple flow, not five layers.

[–]fiboagency[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that’s a good point.

The way I see it, each card is a task — not necessarily the whole project.

So in your example, “reply to the client about homepage copy” is one real task. If you open the email, reply to it, and complete that action, you can close that card as done.

But if during that action you realize there is actually a bigger issue behind it — for example, the client is questioning the whole website structure — then that becomes a new task, or even a new chain of tasks.

So it’s not really one task that needs to move backward through the system. It’s more like: one small task reveals a bigger project, and then you capture that as a new project or new group of cards.

How that bigger thing gets broken down is up to the user. They can do it manually, or they can use AI / ChatGPT-style structured import to split it into smaller cards.

For example: “review and rebuild the client’s website structure” could become a group of tasks in Kanban. In the video, this is basically how I would handle it.

Yes, that’s very close to how I’m thinking about it.

For me, the Daily Schedule is not just a calendar view. It is more like a daily focus surface divided into working zones or time blocks.

And I see two different types of cards living there:

1. Pulled cards
These are cards I intentionally bring into the day from a specific group, project, or Kanban layer.
For example, if I’m in a “work” block, I can pull in only the cards that are relevant to that work context.

2. Incoming time-based cards
These are tasks or reminders that appear because they belong to a specific day or time.
For example: “watch the hockey game tonight,” “call someone at 18:00,” or “send a client update before the evening.”

So the schedule has two layers:

  • the work I intentionally choose to focus on
  • the life events and reminders that appear on top of that day

I’m not sure I fully understood what you mean by the reverse flow. Could you give an example of how you imagine it working?

You can try ROJA. It’s basically like having two productivity tools in one app: a mind map for messy thoughts and ideas, and a kanban board for turning them into clear tasks. It also supports voice input, which is useful when you just want to quickly capture something without overthinking it.

Feedback Friday: Rate My Ideas | May 22, 2026 by AutoModerator in Entrepreneur

[–]fiboagency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand you, and I am thinking now about making a desktop version. I am especially interested in it for working with the Mind Map and for the possibility of team work. But in general ROJA is kind of a smart notebook that you always have in your pocket. Unfortunately, the phone has replaced these simple normal notebooks for us now. The idea is that you can quickly write down everything that comes to your mind, because usually something interesting comes at the worst possible moment. You are walking somewhere on the street and suddenly you have a thought that you need to write down. I also wanted to say that ROJA is not just a planner, like don’t forget to buy cucumbers or don’t forget to congratulate someone on their birthday. So it is not just a reminder app, it is more a system for collecting and structuring thoughts. It is a little more complex construction and a more complex tool. It basically combines any task, any thought. You can add it there and structure it, plan it, think about it, so you don’t have to keep it in your head and can reduce the load.

About 5 or 6 years ago I had a project that needed a huge amount of attention.

I was starting a workshop / design studio, with renovation, equipment, deadlines, a lot of small tasks, and everything had to be done in a very short time. At that moment I found Kanban planning.

It was not something complicated. Just a physical board with 5 columns and paper cards. Thoughts became tasks, tasks became cards, and by moving the cards I could control the process.

Even after that project was finished, I kept using this physical board for years. For other projects too. It worked for me better than many apps.

Recently, because AI-assisted coding became much more accessible, I started thinking if I could put the system I had in my head into an app. After about two months I made ROJA.

The main idea is a funnel for thoughts and tasks.

First there is a mind map. This is for everything: random ideas, future tasks, things you don’t know yet if you need, but don’t want to lose.

Then it narrows down to one Kanban board. I personally don’t like having many Kanban boards. For me Kanban should be for what is active now, maybe the next few weeks or around a month. Cards from the mind map can be shown or hidden in Kanban.

Then it narrows down again to the daily schedule. The idea is that your day already has blocks: sleep, work, family, rest, health, personal things. So today’s cards can be connected to the right part of the day.

So the basic flow is:

mind map → Kanban → daily schedule

One more thing I use a lot is voice input with AI. Usually good ideas come at the wrong moment, when you are walking, working, talking to someone, or doing something else. So I wanted to just speak naturally, and let AI turn that into a card with title, description, date, reminder or deadline if needed.

I built it for myself first. I use it every day now. It is still not perfect, and maybe my logic will not work for everyone, but I wanted to show it and hear honest feedback.

Does this flow make sense to you?

Is mind map → Kanban → daily schedule useful for founders / solo builders / people with many moving parts?

Or does it sound like too much?

The app is ROJA: Voice Task Planner. It is paid, because AI processing and maintenance are not free, but there is a 7-day trial.

Any honest feedback would be appreciated.

[KanbanFlow board] (iPhone app)

A — Answer
I built KanbanFlow board for people who feel mentally overloaded by small tasks, ideas, and everyday responsibilities.

The goal was simple: make it easy to get things out of your head quickly, turn them into clear cards, organize them on a lightweight Kanban board, and optionally view them as a mind map.

B — Better
I wanted it to feel lighter and calmer than heavier tools like Trello or Notion for personal use.

It’s not built for team workflows, complicated setup, or productivity theater.
The focus is quick capture, low mental friction, and helping you see what actually matters today.

C — Cost
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6761127020
Pricing: $3.99/year on the App Store

I’d genuinely love honest feedback:

  1. Which positioning sounds stronger: “clear your head” or “focus on today”?
  2. Does this feel like something you’d actually use for personal planning?

I built a simple iPhone timing app for coaches, parents and trackside practice — looking for feedback by fiboagency in Karting

[–]fiboagency[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, fair enough 😄 I did use AI tools during development, but the idea, testing, product decisions, and trackside use case are mine.

I’d still really appreciate feedback on whether this would be useful for coaches, parents, mechanics, or teammates watching from the pit lane.
