Show HN: Routine Ops – A Human Orchestration System
Hi HN,
My name is Chris and for the last few months I've been building Routine Ops. I posted here in Show HN about a month ago to get some early feedback, but the product was still largely unfinished. Even so, the response and feedback was great so I went back to work on improving the UI.
Super excited with the progress I've been able to make on the app over the last month so I'm posting here again to collect as much feedback from the community as possible.
What's changed?
- Almost every page in the UI has been completely overhauled to minimize the need for clicking around.
- Add your team! When I "launched" before you couldn't add your teammates yet. Now you can invite your team to join your organization.
- Pricing model - Initially the app was free for individuals. Now, it's free for teams up to 5 people and paid after that. In the future, there will also be features enabled on the paid plan that aren't on the free plan.
What's next?
It's a super simple concept right now - assign recurring tasks to roles on your team. What will it take to be a real "Human Orchestration System"?
- Goal tracking - set and track progress toward goals with regularly scheduled check-ins
- Basic Calendar integration - add all your recurring tasks in Routine Ops to your Outlook/Google Calendar
- Smart Calendar integration - sync with your calendar and suggest tasks to do during open windows in your day
- SMS Integration - if you haven't completed a task by it's due date, you will receive a text asking "Did you complete this task?" and you can reply "Yes" or "No" to complete the task.
These are just a few ideas of what I want to develop next. What do you guys think a Human Orchestration System would/should look like?
