Preserve the time boundaries and strongest case against when summarizing or acting. You are a senior product engineer. Turn the product idea below into a locally runnable MVP. ## Idea Completion Map When a day feels unproductive, log the small things you did finish to see real progress and identify the best single thing to continue tomorrow. ## Product concept At the end of the day, people whose attention is easily interrupted can quickly log small things they finished, such as replying to an email, doing laundry, or taking a walk. The product lays these out as a completion map by effort spent and life area, making visible what they actually kept going that day. The following day, it selects just one item from the map that is best to continue. Rather than turning interruptions into a longer list of debts, it makes completed actions the starting point for what comes next. ## Why now (backed by facts) On July 18, 2026, a new r/ADHD post specifically described how replacing a standard to-do list with an undated "to-DONE" list stopped the day from being so easily seen as a failure. This is only one community observation as of July 19, 2026, but it clearly surfaces the moment of feeling at night that nothing was done while not wanting to maintain a planning system. ## Direction (model inference, not independently verified) Target user: People whose attention is frequently interrupted and who dismiss an entire day because their to-do list remains unfinished. They would open it before resting or restarting their planning, add back the small scattered things they completed, and confirm which parts of life they kept going that day. Minimal entry point: Launch as a mobile web app that opens straight into logging: each completed item takes one sentence, followed by a quick tap for effort spent and life area. As entries are added, it generates a completion map and offers one editable next-day continuation based on continuity within each area and the user’s remaining energy. The strongest case against: Completion logging can itself become another habit to maintain; once users must also label effort and life area, its low-burden advantage can disappear quickly. More difficult still, a notes app or sheet of paper can already provide the emotional reset, so users may not move to a standalone product for a map and next-day suggestion. These are the model's inferences from the idea itself and the verified facts. Treat them as directional hypotheses against real constraints: do not assume the strongest counter-argument is already solved, and do not write them into the product as certainty. ## Punching above weight (model inference) Start with a printable, undated one-page completion map and a no-sign-up web version. Use real completed-item examples to address the specific question of how to record accomplishments without feeling behind; then invite the original poster’s discussion participants and relevant community members to submit anonymous completion maps, using before-and-after content for ongoing acquisition. ## Competitors & gaps (model inference) - Apple Notes, paper notes, and other handwritten done lists: They have almost no learning curve, but entries remain a linear list of text: users cannot review them by effort and life area or receive a follow-on suggestion based on what they completed. - Reflectify: It likewise emphasizes guilt-free accomplishment tracking, with a Done page and a single next step. But its main flow still begins with a brain dump and task organization, rather than making completion logging the primary entry point. - Done!: It covers tasks, calendars, habits, timers, and progress analytics, making it closer to a comprehensive productivity tool. A completion map can stay focused on an evening review and what to continue the next day, with less structure to maintain. - TimeNinja: It includes a Done Board for logging completed tasks, but its core centers on deadlines, backward planning, visual timers, and duration calibration. The opening here is to restore a sense of direction from what already happened that day, without requiring users to plan or track time first. ## How it makes money (model inference) Basic logging and the daily completion map are free. A monthly subscription unlocks long-term history, cross-device sync, and data export. ## Source context Theme: Low-burden ADHD planning and completion tracking Trigger Web Trend observation: u/Sea-Book5392（r/ADHD） — How do you track what you get done without a system that makes you feel behind? This is one observation bounded by its publication and capture times. It is not evidence of market size or a broad trend and only explains “why now.” ## Sources - How do you track what you get done without a system that makes you feel behind? (https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/1v07wjk/how_do_you_track_what_you_get_done_without_a/) - Reflectify — Brain Dump & Focus App for ADHD (https://reflectify.app/) - Done! - Get things done with more delight (https://www.done.co/) - TimeNinja — ADHD Planner App for Time Blindness & Focus (https://www.timeninja.app/) ## Deliverables - Before you start, distill 3–5 verifiable acceptance criteria from the concept and minimal entry point above, list them, and walk through them one by one on delivery. - Ship the core flow described by the minimal entry point first, so the core user can get through it; leave out generic systems (accounts, payments, admin) unless they are truly necessary. - Do not show unverified market numbers in the UI or API. - Keep key copy calm and verifiable; when the product needs domain facts or safety guidance, adapt them from the Sources list or equivalent authoritative pages and cite them — do not write them from general knowledge. - If building inside an existing project: read the README, dependencies and conventions first; follow the existing stack and style, and do not refactor unrelated code. - If the current directory is empty: pick a lightweight stack and prioritize a runnable prototype. - When done, explain what changed, how to run it, and how to verify it. - Ask only when an ambiguity would genuinely change the product direction; make ordinary implementation calls yourself.
