Potion

Hey, I'm a CS student and I've been using Notion + Google Calendar to organize my semesters, but there were always these little things I wished they did differently. So I figured... why not just build the planner I actually want? I originally made this purely for myself (and that's still the main use case), but I thought maybe other students might find it useful too. The core problem I kept running into: I'd see something like "2000 word paper due in a week" on my calendar and immediately start overthinking. Should I start now? Should I wait? What if future me has three other things due that same day? I wanted a system where I could just wake up, look at today's tasks, knock them out, and then actually relax without that background anxiety of "am I forgetting something?" Basically, plan once, then just execute. So here's what I built. When I add an assignment, I break it into smaller tasks and assign each one to a specific day before the deadline. Like if I have that 2000-word paper, I'll split it into four 500-word chunks across four days. Then today, I just need to write my 500 words. That's it. No mental math about whether I'm "on track." I just am. This scales up too. If you have a bigger project with 20+ subtasks, you can actually see when each piece will get done, which makes the whole thing feel way less overwhelming. I also added a time estimate for each task because once you have more than a few things per day, it's hard to tell which days are actually overloaded. Now I can quickly spot light days and drop new tasks there. Some small quality-of-life stuff: shift-click an assignment to see all its tasks, shift-click while creating tasks to auto-nest them under an assignment. Just things that made my own workflow faster. Anyway, I put together a quick landing page with a short demo (46 seconds). Would genuinely appreciate any feedback on what makes sense, what doesn't, or what would make this more useful.
