Goosly - Free tool to share build-in-public plans with your audience

Hey Product Hunt folk 👋 I'm Biro, co-founder at Jexo, the makers of Goosly, and I'm hyped about our launch on Product Hunt 🎊 Our new app is an intuitive and super fast way to sketch a plan using a timeline. You can plan an open source product, keep track of your crypto project or communicate your #buildinpublic progress. And the tool is entirely free to use. Why we built it In the past, no matter how many planning tools I had available, I would always go back to sketching on a piece of paper or a whiteboard when I needed to capture a timeline of events quickly; be it draft execution strategies at work or brainstorming organizing an event. Planning tools are jam-packed with configuration steps that take time to untangle and require a certain working method. But most of the time all we need is a quick way to sketch what we're thinking and that's why we built Goosly. It enables you to sketch your plans, customize them and share quickly. How it works 👉 All you have to do is create a free account then: 👉 Create a new roadmap page 👉 Start drawing your activities 👉 Write some context to describe your plan 👉 Give it a name and personality with custom styling 👉 Publish and share it by email or publicly What it does 🔥 Create an unlimited number of roadmap pages, for free 🔥 Create timeline rows to group your activities 🔥 Generate custom colors for groups or individual items 🔥 Use emojis as visual indicators or to indicate status 🔥 Use it in either dark or light mode 🔥 Work with zoom levels to plan, from daily to quarterly and yearly 🔥 Add rich text to activities and the content area; use tables, lists, and images 🔥 Style your page with background colors and Unsplash images 🔥 Give roadmap pages titles and subtitles 🔥 Make pages private, have them unlisted or public 🔥 Invite collaborators to update your plans 🔥 Use the Discover section to find useful templates and roadmaps 🔥 Copy and rebase existing timeline plans 🔥 Embed plans in your website or documentation systems Why it’s free Goosly has a sibling called Swanly. Swanly is Jexo's most successful Jira app for planning and tracking issues on a timeline view. It has a lot of bells and whistles, and it's what generates a good portion of our current revenue. Goosly has the same roadmap timeline engine as Swanly does, but we built a different product around it, a simpler solution for the less savvy user. What does this mean, actually? We’re not in a rush to monetize Goosly because we generate revenue from Swanly and our other Atlassian paid apps. And sharing the same feature means less overhead in development for Goosly. Future plans. The product has a lot of potential, and we plan to continue improving the experience and value that it adds to your life. Some of the upcoming improvements include making it even faster for creating plans, improving usability at the day-level activities, a better text editor, more filters, and so on. The core roadmap feature will stay free forever, without limitations. We do have plans to extend the value of Goosly by adding integrations with other tools, team-level functionality, and more advanced work planning features under a paid plan. So give it a try and join our Discord community for feedback and to chat about anything related to roadmaps. https://discord.gg/keDUSrHCUF

Thanks @Biro to invite me to be part of the livestream for this great product launch. We are live soon It's been great using the product for the last 3 weeks ... so enjoy!

This seems like a really cool roadmap tool and I love it is free! UI is really intuitive and is packed with tons of features.

I think the best way to describe this amazing product in one word is ^EFFORTLESS^ I also love that all features are currently free. It makes adoption of a product so easy & seamless. Great job Jexo. You guys are #BestInClass!

🔝 Super interesting - will be using this for our roadmap!

Goosly looks so much fun, already using it to do my planning 🙌

Absolutely love being able to create such an amazing roadmap. Great for planning big or even smaller projects in detail, I would recommend it to any team.

Congrats! Being able to share timelines in such an easy way is great.

Very cool tool. And awesome that you offer it for free! A Trello integration would be very cool.

It's great how easy it is to embed your roadmaps anywhere! Love it. Can't wait to see how the app evolves

Interesting tool. I'll give it a try! It would be cool for me to schedule sports events or my yearly goals with it!

This is awesome 🤩 finally some nice roadmap I can embed on my product page.

great solution. worth to chek it out)

Very cool. The missing piece of project management in jira.

Looks cool! I will definitely use it:blush: Do you plan to develop other free and simple tools? Maybe for building graphs and diagrams?

The dark mode implementation is 👌

The app is looking great! And the dark mode is TOP!

Roadmaps should be always that easy - kudos @florin_biro, @nikola_zavadska and all Jexo team great job🔥

Goosly is a really cool, free app if you want to create roadmap timelines for build-in-public projects. If you’re into simple, inclusive tools, then you’re probably going to love this. 🤩

Congrats on launching the app! Any plans to integrate with Trello soon?
