Good concept of planning backwards from hours needed and deadline
From 2 comments
This is a really interesting time management concept I hadn't seen implemented before- Starting with "# hours needed" and "Deadline" and then working backwards to schedule…
drcode on HNI really love the idea. I use pomodoro timing for my work, but I always have to decide on the spot what I want to do for that 25 minutes. If I'm working on one task, that's easy,…

Nice clean UI
From 2 comments
Nice webapp and UI. (to the author) To state the obvious.. You'll see a lot more people adopt it and stick with it if you layout your vision in a few page tutorial.
miesman on HNThat's a really neat looking calendar. I'll play with it instead of working on the stuff I supposed to do :)

Objections
Buggy in Firefox and UI controls broken
From 3 comments
The "TimeInput_singleton" up and down arrows don't work in Firefox on Windows 10. Actually the down arrow does work if you try to find the right cursor position, but the up arrow…

nulagrithom on HNFeedback: Firefox support could be better: color picker does not respond, time entry widget is annoying. It would be nice to have a feedback/contact button or info about…

Requires Google sign-in and fails with third-party cookies blocked
From 2 comments
This looks really cool, but it'd be nice to not need a Google account (which I do not have) to sign in.
wrl on HNLogin doesn't work and fails silently if you don't accept third-party cookies by default. I had to muck around in dev tools to figure out what was wrong and sign-in.

Hard to fit unknown task durations
From 2 comments
This looks interesting, but how does it deal with tasks that don't have an expected finish time? Eg, what i like about Pomodoro is that i am not planning anything more. I simply…
fizzbatter on HNMy issue with this method and most other methods, is that I have no good idea on how much time I need to actually allocate to each project/goal. I work in research, when I start…

Sign in without Google account

This looks really cool, but it'd be nice to not need a Google account (which I do not have) to sign in.
wrl on HNI don't suppose signing in without Google is on the roadmap?
