WIP is a community of makers holding each other accountable to keep shipping.
By popular demand we're launching the official desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It lets you easily log your todos with just a keyboard shortcut.
When I started WIP 1.5 years ago it was just a Telegram group with a chatbot to log your todos. Since then it has grown into something much bigger, but logging todos still had to be done through that bot.
And while it can be fun and motivating to hang out in the group and chat with other makers, sometimes you just want close yourself off from the outside world and focus on building your product.
With WIP Menubar you can finally log your completed todos, search your pending todos, and more without needing to have Telegram open in the background.
WIP Menubar itself is free of charge, but requires a paid WIP membership. To celebrate this launch I'm giving away 5x 100-day trials (worth $60+ each) to the most interesting/helpful comments.
Post a recent insight you got while working on your product. The most interesting and/or helpful ones earn a free membership. (Upvotes not necessary.)
Thanks to all the WIP members who helped me beta test my first (Electron-based) desktop app. Special thanks to Jamie Weavis for his open source work which formed the basis of WIP Menubar.
Congrats on the launch @marckohlbrugge 🎉I've always been curious about WIP and how it compares to PH's version Makerspaces I think it's called (tried it but didn't stick with me)?
@itsjeremiahs That's a great question, but tough to answer as I've never used PH's product.
What I've heard from WIP members that previously tried PH is that the chat makes a big difference. It makes the community feel more alive, which to your point probably makes people stick around more. It probably comes down to personal preference though.
@marckohlbrugge Cheers 🤓 I just remembered that I saw a tweet a while back where someone asked you something similar, is it the case or what is a dream? If so, do you have the link to the tweet (tried to find it but couldn't, would love to read the thread)?
This looks great.
I’m a big fan of slash-command interfaces for productivity these days, so glad to see that.
Do you have plans for a public API? For me, task list lock in is a big issue as I want a tool that I can plug into my automated workflows.
@r3trosteve Hi Steve. WIP actually already has an open API which this app is based on. You can authenticate through OAuth or a personal access token.
You can find more information about the API here: https://wip.chat/api
And here's the JavaScript client the app uses: https://github.com/marckohlbrugg...
I plan on officially releasing the JavaScript client as standalone library in the future.
If you're using WIP and are not really into Telegram's chat like me, this app is for you! I've been using Marc's app for few months now, it's the perfect companion to keep shipping your product in public without distractions.
Congrats for the launch and thank you for your hard work! 🎉
Especially I liked: the Ctrl+Space shortcut that will open search, autocomplete, daily reminders to not lose the progress score and the auto forward progress in WIP chat
Pros:
I'm using it since beta and I find it useful to keep my daily progress.
This is a sweet little quick start taskbar that can be summoned via a shortcut. Write /todo to add a todo or start typing and press enter to check off the selected task.
Pros:
It makes adding and checking off todo's a breeze.
Love the simple and straightforward interactions.
Looks really cool – seems a silly question, but does it requires WIP to use it?
Might be worth making that clear in app / website / on the request link page - I though it was just a productivity app, tried to use it and never received an email.
