Show HN: Infinitely nestable visual task organizer and workload simulatorhttps://projectzen.com/homeI built ProjectZen because ordinary task managers often show what needs doing, but not whether the accumulated workload is realistic.The homepage includes a working demo, no login required. I’d especially value feedback on whether the workload view makes sense without explanation and whether it would change how you plan a real project.This project is personally interesting to me because, as a product manager for many years, I never found a tool with the usability and visual workload simulation I knew was possible. Without the latter, I felt disoriented and more helpless when it came to being pressured into scope creep. ProjectZen was created as a side project using Angular, Django, Google App Engine, Google Cloud SQL, and Firebase Authentication.The tool includes Infinite nesting for breaking down projects and tasks (inspired by tools like Workflowy and Dynalist) Displaying items in kanban boards Visualization of tasks based on size and simulation of overall workload over time Also incAug 19, 2026 2:08 PM

Show HN: Dotproject – The project state standard for AI agents and humanshttps://github.com/jasonnam/dotprojectWe are already getting too slow to micromanage agents on individual features.Trying to review and steer every tiny task is quickly becoming the main bottleneck. Managing at the milestone and goal level still feels like something humans can realistically keep up with—at least for now...I built the dotproject skill around this idea. Curious how others here are structuring agent workflows as execution speeds keep outpacing human oversight.Theoretically, once goals and milestones are defined and enough AI agents are attached, we should be able to track and drive progress toward them in real time.Aug 19, 2026 1:46 PM
