EE turned Entrepreneur

Hi all,

I worked as a EE at tech startups for a bit, then ventured into my own diy entrepreneurship.
I'm currently working on a minimalistic project management web app to direct focus where it's needed most. It started as a simple drawing I'd make in my notebook, to visualize all my endeavors and projects, and help me choose what was most important to focus on. Then I thought, 'this would be a cool app'.
I'm planning to launch it here soon, but it's just not quite ready yet :)
