Hey everyone. I’m a software engineer, and over the last few months, I realized my 1-on-1s had completely lost their value. Instead of talking about unblockers or career growth, I was just repeating the same things to my manager, and any actual action items were getting lost in chaotic, never-ending docs and complex layouts. I realized my manager was struggling to track growth and progress because the tools out there are either blank text documents or heavy, bloated HR enterprise software or complicated layouts with structural issues. So, I've spent my evenings building what I wish my manager used. It’s called Accordia. It forces a very clean structure: Custom Agenda Builder: Create structured, repeatable templates so every meeting has a clear purpose. Focused "Slideshow" Sessions: A distraction-free presentation mode that forces you to focus on one topic at a time, rather than getting overwhelmed by a massive wall of text. Automated Overviews: A clean summary dashboard that instantly tracks everything covered and all action items assigned, so you don't have to go digging through old notes. I just put a playable demo live that runs entirely in your browser (no sign-up needed, data stays local). I'd love some brutal honesty from actual Engineering Managers. Would a tool like this actually make your life easier and improve your 1-on-1s, or am I off the mark?
