AI Analysis

●MidShip It

Impact Score concept is interesting, but Asana, Notion, and Things already own this.

Strengths
  • •Impact Score (1-10 task weighting) offers a fresh take on prioritization beyond deadlines.
  • •Calendar + projects + reminders unified in one app addresses real context-switching friction.
  • •Location-based reminders and streak tracking show thoughtful feature selection.
Weaknesses
  • •Only iOS; no web, Android, or team collaboration—severely limits addressable market.
  • •Two ratings with no real-world adoption signal; too early to assess if Impact Score resonates.
  • •Feature parity with entrenched tools (Asana, Things, Notion) without clear differentiation beyond UI.

Post Description

I built Gluon because I was tired of switching between a project manager, a to-do app, and a calendar every day.

Gluon combines all three. The core idea is the Impact Score — each task gets a 1–10 score so you prioritize by importance, not just deadlines.

Features: - Projects with task tracking and completion rates - Calendar view with tasks and events side by side - Location-based reminders (arrive/leave a place) - Productivity stats with streak tracking and weekly insights

Available on iOS. Free to download with a Pro plan for advanced stats.

Would love any feedback — especially on the Impact Score concept. Is this something you'd actually use?
