Show HN: DeeProductivity a Cal Newport–style time-blocking and deep-work

Hi HN! I built DeeProductivity because I struggled to keep Cal Newport’s “Deep Work” system consistent across notebooks, Trello, calendars, and timers.

What it does right now (v0.1) • Trello-style Capture → Configure → Control board • Deep-Work timer • Shutdown ritual at day’s end • Optional link from each block to a weekly / quarterly goal (solves the “higher-tier planning” gap many raised)

Pricing & guarantee One plan: $9 / month You pay up-front, but there’s a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee.

Tech Next.js 14 App Router • Supabase (DB + auth) • dnd-kit • Vercel Electron wrapper is next so it can live in the dock and get global shortcuts.

Looking for feedback on 1. Does the CCC → planner flow feel faster than your current stack? 2. Is the up-front-pay + refund model reasonable, or should I add a traditional free trial? 3. Any points where the UI got in the way of actually planning?

Thanks for taking a look—happy to answer everything in the thread!
