Hey HN<p>I just released ProgressBar Windows - a simple widget that sits in your Windows toolbar and tells you how much progress you&#x27;ve made through the day.<p>I built it because I found myself trying to perfect tasks I was working on instead of just &quot;getting things done&quot;. ProgressBar reminds me that my day is finite and that I&#x27;ve got to get a move on.<p>I was inspired by @andreyazimov&#x27;s ProgressBarOSX [1] as to tool to help me stay on track during the day, but unfortunately it was only available on OSX and I couldn&#x27;t find anything similar on Windows that I liked the design of.<p>So I decided to build it myself as a side project!<p>Features:<p>- Show&#x2F;hide progress bar by right-clicking on the Windows taskbar<p>- Dark mode supported<p>- Change the time when your day starts and ends by clicking on the bar<p>- On the roadmap: add dates for custom goals.<p>It&#x27;s a really simple app, built in .NET Framework and C#.<p>Excited for my first launch, and would love to hear what people think!<p>Apu<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.progressbarosx.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.progressbarosx.com&#x2F;</a>, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=16897803" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=16897803</a>
