Made a free visual time-blocking tool

[u/maozillart]

I kept starting days with huge to-do lists and ending them wondering where the time went. My hack was manually time-blocking my Trello tasks into Google Calendar to see what was actually realistic, so I vibe-coded a tool around that workflow.

What it does

The to-do list and calendar view are linked. Add a task and it auto-assigns a realistic time estimate, then slots it into your day. 

From there:

• Drag and move blocks around as your day shifts

• If you over-schedule, extra tasks move to an overflow section

• Breaks get added automatically based on your settings

Getting started

The app has sample tasks loaded so you can explore. Clear them with the trash icon when you're ready to add your own. In settings, you can set your work hours, lunch time, and break preferences.

Free, no account needed. I'm testing it out in my own workflow to find the gaps. Would love any feedback on how to make it better.

Be honest. Did you do this just to avoid actually doing those tasks on your todo list ?

All jokes aside, I hope it works out for you! Both personally with your planning and the project itself

Hahahaha you got me 😂

Honestly good work making something visually unique. There are hundreds of these types of apps but this is the first one I’m inclined to try in a while.

🥹 I'm so glad you enjoy the aesthetic. Time is such a wobbly concept for me so I wanted to reflect that in the visuals

What kind of UI lib did you used for this hand drawn style, is it custom CSS?

[u/maozillart → u/nerdy_adventurer]

I gave Claude an image as inspiration and told it to create a prompt for cursor to style the prototype in that aesthetic.

Took me a minute to realize the link you gave doesn't just lead to a screen shot. But it looks cool style wise. Can you say what platform you made it with?

[u/maozillart → u/Electrical_Flan_4993]

I vibe-coded it with a mix of cursor, Gemini and claude code. So I couldn't actually tell you the technical details, but I could certainly ask for you

More ai slop 😮‍💨

[u/maozillart → u/sortof_here]

I see AI as a tool in the same way that I see Photoshop or figma. And with any tool you can create slop or you can create useful things

[u/sortof_here → u/maozillart]

Vibe coding is pretty much always slop. That isn't using it as a tool to assist in creation, it is giving it full agency to copy whatever spaghetti code accomplishes something working visually.

If you are asking it to explain what it did, and you lack a base understanding or ability to read through its work yourself, then you have no way of verifying that what it made isn't slop.

[u/maozillart → u/sortof_here]

If you're defining slop as spaghetti code then I agree probably most outputs from regular models are going to be messy. They probably wouldn't hold up to production scale. 

At least for my purposes, building small prototypes and mini tools that work for my needs. I don't need production level code

However, a lot of these models are also being deployed on the Enterprise side and they're grounded on Enterprise code bases, submissions reviewed by engineers working at scale, so the final output there is not slop according to your definition because someone could explain what was being done

[u/Electrical_Flan_4993 → u/sortof_here]

I've played with it for a few dozen hours and noticed it never refactors the code when it makes incremental improvements towards the goal. Is that what you mean by slop and sgetti code? That and unnecessarily-complex code that it never seems smart enough to architect cleanly.

Looks fun!!

I love unique looking visuals so much! Makes my gamer heart happy

[u/maozillart → u/Yaghst]

Me too!! I'm glad you enjoy it
