I turned weekly planning into a puzzle. You solve your time.
Your week is a grid. Your tasks are blocks. You only get 3 blocks at a time.
Goal: fill the entire week by placing blocks into the schedule.
Rules:
- Blocks have different durations (so they take different space)
- Some blocks are one-time, others must be placed 5× (weekdays) or 7× (daily)
- You can’t place the same block twice on the same day
- Place all 3 blocks to unlock the next set of 3

Could never hurt
Turning time planning into a constraint-based puzzle is smart. Limiting users to 3 blocks at a time introduces intentional friction — which could actually improve prioritization. Did you test how users react when they can’t place everything they want?
Totally fair question. no formal tests yet, but I’m designing that “can’t fit it all” moment with undo so it stays fun, not punishing.
That’s a solid call. The “can’t fit it all” tension creates challenge, and undo prevents rage-quitting — it keeps the loop addictive instead of punishing.
Curious if you’re tuning difficulty dynamically or keeping it static?

The thing I keep relearning: a design is never finished because someone ran out of ideas. It's finished because someone decided to stop. Knowing when to stop is the hardest part.
Damn.... Crazy colors 👏😍
Then: 1 month, 1 template.
Now: 1 week, 15 templates.
Same designer, different workflow.
I wrote up how I built no-code.supply: fifteen website templates, each with its own brand, in HTML and React, and some in Framer too. Claude Code did most of the typing. I did the directing.

How I built 15 AI-ready website templates with Claude Code in a week: the workflow, the quality bar, and why a template is only the starting point.
Going from one template a month to fifteen a week is wild. How much of the design direction did you still do by hand?
