I don't know what it is, but I really dislike project management tools.

I tried so many, probably over 12 at this point, and I can't find one that isn't over-engineered, has good UX, cost effective, allows for customization, and bloat free

What's everyone using these days?

I disliked Linear the most, the only reason I disliked it was because it's dev aligned which makes things in my field kind of difficult.

you need a clean workflow.

Dashboards are one of the hardest things to get right.

You think it's about making data look good. Then you spend three hours moving the same widget two pixels left and realize the real problem is you haven't decided what the user should feel when they open this thing.

My current flow: Claude for product thinking, Figma Make for layout exploration, Cowork to challenge every design decision, Figma for final execution.

What used to take days now happens in one focused session.
