Decided to make the whole widget collection free

I've posted a few of these here before. The blue set, a pink version, the word clock, the little lofi radio.

So I made the whole lot free. Every widget, every set, covers attached.

Same lineup in each style. The clocks, the timers, calendar and countdown, weather, water tracker, to-do, counter, calculator, the life-calendar grid. All matching, so your page doesn't end up looking like five different apps thrown on top of each other.

Figured a lot more people might as well try them.

Made a pink version of the widget set after a few people asked.

A while back I posted here about 15 Notion widgets I built so they'd all share the same blue design language, instead of looking like I'd glued a bunch of different apps onto one page. A few people in my DMs asked if I'd do other colors. Pink came up the most.

So I made one. Same 15 widgets, but it's all soft pink now - frosted glass cards on a light pink gradient, and most of them have a deep rose dark mode too.

Same lineup as the blue set:

- 5 clocks (analog, digital, flip, world, and the word clock that spells the time out in a letter grid)

- Pomodoro timer + a flexible timer

- Calendar + event countdown

- Weather, water intake tracker, to-do list, counter, calculator

- And the life calendar that maps your years into a grid - the memento mori one.

Honestly it suits journaling and wellness pages way better than the blue ever did. Link to the collection in the comments.

Looking for advice on where to find great testers or initial users for my app

Hi everyone, new to this community!

I have developed an app that gives you a personal assistant in your pocket, which can complete tasks on your behalf. It can handle simple management tasks like clearing your email inbox, managing your calendar, updating your notes in Notion, and many other features. It currently connects to dozens of external tools, and I am planning to expand it to hundreds.

The main benefit of the app and assistant is automation. I am still figuring this out myself, and that is the main reason why I need good testers or initial users. It costs a lot to run such an assistant, but I am ready to cover the costs for those testers/users in order to get real feedback from them.

I am new to automations and do not yet have a clear idea of what users or businesses actually automate. When I think about automations, the only things that come to mind are simple examples like daily inbox clearing, daily reports from different analytics services, or SEO-related tasks.

It would be great to get the community’s opinion on this and any recommendations on what I should do next.

I made a clock that spells the time out in words instead of showing numbers

You know those word clocks where the time is written across a grid of letters and only the right ones light up? Like IT IS HALF PAST TEN. I always thought they looked great and worked terribly as actual clocks, which is roughly why I wanted one on my Notion page.

So I built it.

It's more of a nice thing to look at than a practical clock, which was honestly the point.

Fiancée asked, so I made it

My fiancée is deep in study mode right now and basically runs her whole life out of Notion. Separate page for everything. A while back she found out you can embed widgets into pages and she's been tweaking her setup nonstop since.

The thing she kept wishing for was a way to start some background music without leaving Notion or opening yet another app. Just hit play and keep working. I'm a developer, so she asked me if something like that already existed. I went looking and nothing felt good enough to actually use, so I built one.

It's a small lofi radio. You hit one button to play or pause, there's a volume slider, and a little visualizer that moves with the audio. It streams a continuous ambient channel. I gave it a retro pixel look to match the pages she'd already made.

Honestly came out better than I thought it would, so figured I'd let other people use it too. It's free, link's in the comments.

Built 15 widgets that actually look like they belong on the same page"

Every time I added a new widget to my Notion dashboard, it looked like I'd glued 15 different apps together. Different fonts, different borders, one neon, one pastel.

So I made a collection where everything shares the same minimal blue design language. 15 widgets total:

  • 5 clocks (flip, analog, digital, world, and a word clock that spells out the time in a letter grid)
  • Pomodoro timer + flexible timer
  • Calendar + event countdown
  • Weather, water intake tracker, to-do list, counter, calculator
  • A "life calendar" that maps your years into a grid - kind of a memento mori thing
