ripplenotions

A private task board and schedule for two people

ripplenotions is a small web app that Josh built for himself and Ryan, who are 17 and run a business together. It is one shared place for the things they have to do and when they are going to do them, instead of that living across a group chat, a notes app and two separate calendars.

What it does

• A shared task board. Both of them see the same tasks, sorted by how urgent they are, with an estimate of how long each will take and room for notes.
• A schedule. Tasks get dragged onto a day to become real time blocks, so "I will do this" has an hour attached to it rather than being a wish.
• A weekly meeting document they write in together, plus a short end of day review, so the next week is planned against what actually happened in the last one.

Why it asks for Google Calendar

Connecting Google Calendar is optional, and the app works fully without it. When it is connected it does one thing:

• Reads the events on your own calendar (their titles and times) and shows them on your schedule, so the day you plan is the day you actually have.

It is read only. It never creates, edits, moves or deletes anything on any of your calendars. It checks your own RSVP to hide events you declined and does not retain other invitees' details. You can disconnect at any time from inside the app or from your Google account settings.

Who can use it

Josh and Ryan. It is not open for sign ups, there is nothing to buy, and there are no adverts. The sign in page is the front door for a reason: everything behind it is their real work.
