Show HN: The ultimate productivity tool
thedailyproject.comIt looks powerful but the landing page is overwhelming and hard to read.
I can't understand what The Daily Project does from the top texts. The screenshot says it's sort of Trello alternative (btw I would recommend picking more trendy pastel colors, now the design looks a bit dated).
The introductions texts are too vague and promotional [1]: "It's more flexible and has the missing features, but keeps the simplicity that we all love." – how does it solve my problems? [2]
Then I finally scrolled to the feature grid (most of the visitors will not bother) and it's still not clear how the app works and helps me ("Focus on what's important", "Built for simplicity").
The video tour comes too late, a visitor has already left.

Hi HN,
I created The Daily Project to combine the simple handling of todo managers with some of the features from project management tools, as I was frustrated with much of the shortcomings of today’s tools.
It features tracking projects as well as categories, built-in time tracking on your tasks, sequential tasks for strict order and a much improved subtask handling compared to any other todo manager. The goal is to help you manage lots of projects and tasks without losing control. More infos/videos in the link, but happy to comment on any questions!
Web app or it did not happen :) I am not going to install native software and give you full control over my digital live just to try out what you built.
You'd prefer to send your all your digital life to some remote server?
Only the data that is related to the service.
Installing native software gives away control over all your data. Because it can access everything on your machine.
