@saasdesigner Thanks Bren!
One design pattern that I've seen before, but Hey seems to have reinvigorated is the bottom toolbar. It reminds me of the buttons on a F1 race car steering wheel – available at your fingertips, but out of your way as to not distract.
I checked out your PH profile – just followed for growth tips 🙌
Hey everyone!
We’re excited to share Sprout – Fast, simple, daily planner.
Sprout brings together your to-dos, notes, bookmarks, and project information to reduce overwhelm.
Information is organized into tree-like groupings. Unlike to-dos apps, Sprout trees are nest-able allowing you to save diverse kinds of information.
We tried all the task and project management apps and found them to be too restrictive or too complex.
The core workflows of Sprout are:
✅ Organization - save diverse kinds of information together in tree-like groupings.
✅ Agenda - daily planner to manage your information flows.
✅ Links - save an process online information faster.
We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions! You can also reach us at hey@sprout.io.

@ziggy_crane1 Thanks for critique Ziggy!
I respect how Basecamp can take an inherently complex product and break it down simple ways.
Folks interested in Basecamp likely wouldn't be interest in Sprout (vice versa). Basecamp does a wonderful job giving medium size teams, that struggle to grok it's organizational workflow, a pre-built solution to reduce workplace complexity. The core workflow is completely different.
Sprout focuses on providing an excellent solo/single player daily organization experience. It requires lighter, faster, daily planner to process the overwhelming amount of information we process on a daily basis. This consumer experience can be shared with your team.
The non-core lipstick visual stuff changes on a weekly basis. We've already completely revised the public site 5 times – it will probably change again next week 😂
I'd love to hear any critique of the core workflow if you're willing to try it out – it's free. Ping me at chris@sprout.io if you'd like a personal demo via Zoom.

@ziggy_crane1@watlandc this may have gone lost on you Chris, but since you seem to be keen on professional feedback..
The fact that you speak so nonchalantly about essentially duplicating another product’s visual language and design — visibly, although far from as mature and as balanced — speaks more about your initiative than you seem to think.
Ziggy didn’t call out how Sprout flows, what it tries to solve or how. The fact that you made no effort to acknowledge his question, in itself sends a message that I believe you might want to try and see the value of.
User experience, IxD and visual language is as important a piece of IP as everything else.
Since we all build things based on how functional ideas can solve for specific problems, the way that visual interfaces and languages interact with the human eye is just as meaningful. Just as “one’s own”.
>>> This one isn’t yours.
In one way or another, people will surely find something interesting in your solution. So, make it truly yours.
It’s a great base and I’m sure you can do a lot better. So, be better; and try to listen more along the way.
Sure, there’s a lot of garbage that our ears are preferably best left without. However, the trick is to adjust your sensors to try and capture value from virtually everything and everybody, as much as possible.
His comment to you was VERY valid.
You’ll do great and your life will be much MUCH easier.
All the best.
@watlandc I am launching Roundup on Producthunt today! 😇 We have devoted nearly a year to developing this project and I would greatly appreciate your feedback. 🙏
@deepak09 Thank you so much for checking out Sprout!
Regarding the `visual design` Hey, Pinterest, and other apps that take take a minimal simple approach to reduce overwhelm were inspiration. I plan on spending more time on the visual design front of Sprout to experiment more, innovate, and settle into a more unique visual language.
90% of time with Sprout as been spent crafting the product workflows – striving to solve my own needs for a simple, minimal-looking, yet powerful – daily planner. I reached a point where the product is sticky for me and I don't see a replacement.
I'm interested in getting more feedback on how it works for others. If you're willing to share, I'd love to hear any unfiltered feedback on how well it works for you as a daily planner. No worries about hurting my feelings :)
btw – it looks like you're working on a lot of interesting stuff and I wish you luck on those endeavors. 🙌
@watlandc Hey Chris, I have begun creating leaf's and setting up my project on Sprout! So far, I love it. It needs a few more functionalities like Export Leaf and Boards (Like trello inside a Leaf). But I'm going to keep using this! If you want to connect with me, check scrollme.today/deepak
