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.

Sorry but do you really think someone who can't program could follow the instructions on how to learn Python? Copy/paste hello world then just "run it"? Really?

Does this have any way to gauge what the understanding of the user currently is? I'm struggling to understand who could follow those instructions but still needs to be told to write hello world in a new language.

Is finding and reading literature really such a lost art now that people need something like this?
