π Hey Product Hunt! I'm Thomas from Berlin, creator of Signal/Noise.
β οΈ Important: This is our BETA launch - testers welcome!
The story behind this app:
I discovered Steve Jobs' 80/20 Signal vs Noise methodology through Kevin
O'Leary's podcast interview. Jobs classified every task as either Signal
(critical) or Noise (everything else) - maintaining an 80/20 ratio.
My personal experiment:
Week 1: 23% Signal (shocking!)
Week 2: 47% Signal
Week 3: Breakthrough to 81% Signal
Result: 2.5x productivity increase
What we're building:
β¨ Binary task classification (Signal or Noise only)
β¨ Real-time ratio tracking
β¨ Achievement system for productivity streaks
β¨ Privacy-first approach (browser-only storage)
β¨ Premium AI coach (coming soon)
π― SPECIAL OFFER: First 12 Android users who reach out for pre-launch
features get FREE premium access until end of 2025!
Current status:
- Web app: Live beta at signal-noise.app
- Android app: Pre-launch testing phase
- iOS: Coming Q1 2025
We need beta testers to:
- Test the methodology in real-world scenarios
- Provide feedback on the binary classification approach
- Help refine the achievement system
- Shape the premium AI coaching features
Why beta on Product Hunt?
The methodology works (tested it myself for 3 Weeks), but we want community
feedback before full launch. Better to ship and iterate with real users than
perfect in isolation.
