@lindachen97 thanks for trying hourglass out 🙏 🙏! Excited for your feedback
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m excited to share a side project I’ve been working on the past few months: hourglass.
I know you’re thinking: yet another productivity product?? 😱
Honestly, I’m surprised I was so drawn to this idea. But the truth is, I love its simplicity and am curious if other folks will find it as powerful as I do.
hourglass has two parts:
1) 📝 a laminated sheet with boxes you cross off for every hour you work on a side project
2) 🤖 an SMS bot that provides stats, streaks, and nudges in the background
When I sent hourglass to a few friends, I was surprised to see the variety of ways they used it: learning violin🎻, studying for a test ✏️, tracking workouts 🏋️♀️, searching for a job 💼, volunteering 🤲, and more 📚🎬🥋🎨.
This gave me the confidence to spend my evenings and weekends turning my living room into a lamination center (sorry roommate!) and share this side project with the world.
Thanks for reading 🙏 - very curious what questions or feedback you guys have!
P.S. You can use the discount code "PRODUCT" at checkout for free shipping 📬
I used hourglass to track my hours spent on my side project when I was still at my full time job. It gave me the tools I needed to stay accountable and showed me I was spending real time on my side project... and that it was time to go full time on it! Thank you hourglass ⌛️ 🙌🏼
@kelseycbishop Thank you for being such an awesome beta tester! Glad hourglass could help you make the leap to focusing on your side project full-time :)
This is awesome thanks for making @rileysoward! I love the simplicity and the accountability it pushes one towards - it's so easy to forget to put in the time for side projects and now there's a physical and digital way to keep track.
The weekly planner is the best thing one can hope for for a visual way of tracking those workouts. Thanks @rileysoward for empowering my gains for days.
@yannis_karakozis grateful for all of your feedback as an early hourglass user!
Amazing product combining physical + digital! It's been a great way to track my work hours and the Hourglass bot reminders always keep me in check! Thanks @rileysoward for making this!
