We're emotional beings. Our tools rarely are.
Emotions can't really be taught. They arrive through lived experience, already packaged with a thousand tiny feelings and nuances we carry without thinking. So what if an interface tapped into that?
Meet Clothesline ๐งบ, a to-do list with feelings.
Instead of "an urgent, high-priority, do-or-die task," you simply have a bedsheet-sized goal for the year and a sock-sized one for today. One glance and you know exactly how much you're holding.
Create, save, and track your goals right in your browser, the same way you'd hang, dry, and fold your laundry. Close the tab or restart your browser and your line stays exactly how you left it, so nothing ever slips away.
The rope sags under the weight you carry, a little bird drops by with daily inspiration, and finished goals get folded away. It even makes a lovely little second-monitor companion to glance at while you sip your coffee and work.

๐ง๐ผโ๐จ A small experiment in emotional interface design, software that doesn't just track your goals but feels alive alongside them.
It still amazes me how fast an idea can travel from your head to something real, alive, and in your browser.
Notes for reviewers: the overdue state (storm and rain) normally triggers when a goal passes its due date. To preview it without waiting for real time to pass, add a goal and press 'n' for +1 day, 'm' for +1 month, or 'r' to reset. You'll see the sky turn and the line react, so you can fold fast or change the due date.
