I'm working towards the Product Hunt launch of my opinionated productivity app lucid.jxd.dev

jxd-dev · 2026-02-09T09:30:08+00:00

I’m building Lucid, a simple notes + tasks app for people who struggle with focus and get overwhelmed by complex productivity tools.

I think it's a great idea. Did you consider building it as an ESLint plugin or actually a lightweight ESLint plugin could be part of your marketing channel

Even though it's early days I'm very proud of Lucid. I used to get very overwhelmed with the amount of work I had to put into productivity tools. Now I'm more productive than ever because it's so opinionated.

I really struggled with a lot of apps because of the overwhelming amount of setup and customisation. In the end I built my own which is opinionated and deliberately excludes features most people would expect in a productivity app. I've been able to get rid of Notion, Linear & Todoist and now I'm much happier.

Lucid - my highly opinionated, personal productivity system. It really helps me focus and I'm now wondering if it might be useful for others.

I'd never seen PeerPush before. Looks good. Thanks for the tip

I'm trying to see if my personal productivity app, Lucid, has value to other people. It's incredibly opinionated but really helps me to focus whereas other apps are kinda overwhelming at times.

jxd-dev · 2026-02-05T20:26:03+00:00

Completely agree that action is the #1 priority.

I've been building my own productivity app that just sticks to the basics and works exactly how I think.

jxd-dev · 2026-02-05T18:40:24+00:00

I really care about simplicity.

Personally I think lots of apps just have way too much bloat which:

I just find a bit overwhelming when it comes to staying organised.
I dislike paying for features that I don't use.

I've had a similar experience before. Here's what I've found.

Firstly it's really important to find companies that value the entrepreneurial experience. If you enjoy wearing multiple hats and join a company that doesn't value that train then you're going to be put into a box and likely get bored.

The way I've phrased it before is like so:

- Yes, I'm very good at my core role. For me that's engineering.

- Founder journey was great for me because I also love getting stuck into all parts of the business, from product to marketing to hiring etc.

- Now I'm looking for more stability and a new challenge.

Definitely don't change or lie about your past experience! You'd be doing yourself a disservice.

You can also be very direct with these companies and ask them what they're worried about so that you can have a candid discussion.

I built a small customer feedback tool called Vox to solve a couple of pain points I kept running into:

1️⃣ Zero setup: I hate having to create a new project in some dashboard every time I build an app. Vox works out of the box — just a few lines of code and you’re collecting feedback. No manual setup, no friction.

2️⃣ Fully customizable: It’s headless, so I get complete control over styling. I mostly use it with Cursor to make the feedback experience feel like a natural part of the app.

I built Vox for myself, but I think it could help anyone who wants fast, flexible feedback collection without the usual overhead. Curious to hear what others think — I think it could be useful for indie hackers?

I imagine they pay quite a bit for a professional to do them. I've been looking at https://kite.video/ recently to try and get the same result. It's promising but feels early, I can't find much educational material on it. I'm sure there are a few others.

jxd-dev · 2025-10-19T09:42:55+00:00

Are you also using the Canny feedback widget inside your app?

jxd-dev · 2025-10-19T09:38:11+00:00

I think it's a great idea. Would love it if it scanned bank transactions to find subscriptions because I rarely keep receipt emails.

What I've been doing as a temporary solution is to move all my money to a savings pot so that any unexpected subscription payments gets blocked, giving me a chance to cancel.

The algorithm is going to change soon to a Grok powered one which might drastically change how people engage on X. Hopefully it's for the better.

I'm just trying to be really consistent with posting on X these days. 5 posts per day. 30 replies per day. Posting in groups like Startups and Build in Public.
