Hey hackers! I've got something exciting to share: Nautilus Omnibus. It's not your typical time-blocking tool. The public prototype offers a unique circular day view that automatically advances all unfinished tasks. I initially developed this as a personal project (in Roam Research) and saw significant improvements in my productivity over several months. I then decided to share it with the world as a plugin for Roam.

Later, I shared some thoughts about Nautilus in an article (https://lifehacky.net/how-i-learned-to-plan-better-and-what-...), and many users expressed the need for a more accessible version of the tool.

As I am not a programmer (but a book publisher), it took some time... :) However, now everyone can try it regardless of their preferred platform.

Time-blocking is about dedicating blocks of time to focused work and other activities, balancing various aspects of life, and reducing the stress of an overflowing to-do list. In my experience, this approach can help precisely with this: it keeps track of what I can and cannot finish during the day.

I would love for you to try it out and share your feedback. Your insights are invaluable and will help improve Nautilus further. Check it out here; it is free and runs only in the browser (your data are not transferred):

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hey, I have been trying to use this today and I like it. Unfortunately, the data is not stored -- can you please add that to LocalStorage?
Thanks, good idea, I will look into this!
Done
Do you plan to open source this and/or do you plan to make this a SaaS app?
I will think about possibilites.
