Show HN: Guide – to help me get moving and keep the momentum going

https://github.com/nextfiveinc/guide
1•4mitkumar•42m ago
Hi HN, I built Guide (leaning almost exclusively on Gemini Pro 2.5) for myself initially to get over the blank-page-hurdle while starting on a goal. As well as to reduce the overwhelm from huge lists of to-do when I got into it.

It's Local. Single file HTML+CSS+JS only

You can see the code and try it out here: https://github.com/nextfiveinc/guide (just save to your phone / desktop and start playing;)

What it does: Guide is a task management app based on CBT principles focused on getting you moving when you're stuck, then keeping that momentum going toward your actual goals. Few core ideas: 1. Start small to build momentum – Add quick wins (15-20 min tasks) to break the inertia. Either defined by based on your goal or suggested by App. Once you finish it, the domanine hit makes me want to do another. That's when you define bigger goals. 2. AI suggests next steps – When you set a goal but can't figure out the next concrete task, clicking "Guide me" suggests what to tackle next (optional; bring your own key - Claude / OpenAI / Gemini). Of course, ideal would be you define that next step. 3. Only shows 3 tasks at a time – Add as many tasks as you want, but Guide only surfaces the top 3. Rest remain in what I call Task Bowl - sort of to reduce the idea of a list and enforce the imagery of a bowl I can pick from.

There's also some more light CBT-inspired stuff: like reminders when you're stuck, off-screen break suggestions (I consider breaks essential to long term momentum), and automatic summaries showing how far you've come when you feel like you've been just stuck in the weeds (I frequently judge myself a bit too harshly till I see the numbers and am sometime pleasantly surprised)

I made this primarily for myself – I'm someone who gets stuck between "I should be productive" and "I literally cannot decide what to do right now." The pattern I noticed: starting anything small breaks the spell, then I can think about actual goals.

The (optional) AI suggestions are deliberately constrained to be actionable (15-60 minutes tasks that ladder up to your goal) rather than generic productivity advice.

Would love to hear if this resonates with anyone else, or if you have thoughts on the approach.
