Show HN: Progressor – coach that breaks down big goals into actionable steps

https://progressor.me/
15•murahovsky•4h ago
I built Progressor to help with a problem I kept running into: setting ambitious goals but getting stuck in planning, motivation, or knowing what to do next.

You start by describing your goal — the more detailed, the better. Progressor then asks a series of targeted questions to understand your situation. Based on your answers, it creates a personalized step-by-step plan with small, focused daily tasks.

Each task comes with relevant guidance and resources. You can adjust the plan at any point, and Progressor sends reminders to help you stay on track.

This is not a habit tracker or to-do list — it’s a structured way to move forward on goals that usually feel too big or vague (e.g. launching a product and reaching €10k MRR, switching careers, finishing a personal project).

Would love feedback from anyone who’s ever struggled to push a long-term goal over the finish line.

Great idea I had a similar one tbh! Well done on executing, will try it out.
poisonborz•3h ago
Great idea, et cetera, here's what you came for:

- You expect me to enter my most personal habits, plans and project ideas yet you do not mention privacy or how data is used at all on your start page. The privacy policy is napkin sized (did you write it yourself? don't do that). This should be a primary point to elaborate from the start. Especially when this is AI powered (also revealed only on second step).

- No pricing information, only a "start for free" button. I have no idea what subscription I'm sinking my effort into. No thanks.

tempodox•2h ago
Came here to say something like that.

Since there is purportedly “AI” involved, I'd expect exactly zero privacy.

You have to give your email before you get info on pricing.

Given how unresponsive the “service” is, it looks like a crude experiment to see how many gullible people can be found with one HN submission. For all I know, collecting user goals and email addresses are the only functionalities this “service” actually implements.

It’s a bit disingenuous to have phrases like “start planning for free” when it’s basically just do qualifying questions then hit a paywall. Really needs clear pricing up front, no way to see it without trying to set up a plan. It’s also not clear what paying actually gets you (number of plans etc).
mft_•3h ago
Totally agree. This is an exceptionally frustrating dark pattern. Anyone that uses it not only doesn’t deserve my money or support; they also deserve opprobrium.

(It’s not really HN‘s job, and it will probably never happen, but wouldn’t it be interesting if for every Show HN users could flag aspects of the design which would appear alongside the post title – like free vs. subscription, open source or not, presence of dark patterns, etc.)

p1anecrazy•1h ago
…and it’s also not clear what it gets you, OP.

Commitment takes effort from the customer. If you are a psychologist that studied for 20 years, I know we may not work well, but you will not bail in 1 month. If you are an entrepreneur with less experience or a coach who recently changed his vocation to become one, at least I believe you had conscious focused short-term effort. With AI/LLM you could have prototyped something in one day and I will never know how serious your intent is if there is no immediate financial or psychological return.

user_7832•3h ago
I love the concept.

Unfortunately, I hate the implementation.

What’s the deal with payments? Why doesn’t the page load? (Probably too many requests - it should communicate that.)

Can it refer to an auto updating base list/document, a la chatgpt memories or similar? If not, how does it maintain consistency of imputed data over time and across long messages?

Great idea but the whole app looks like it could be achieved with a prompt template in ChatGPT et al.
tempodox•2h ago
It seems (pretends?) to be using https://crisp.chat/en/.
insamniac•3h ago
Took me through a promising questionnaire on how to suck my own dick but I didn't want to pay the $2 to get the full plan. It's nice to know that it exists though.

Aside from the name [0] nothing to see here.
