About this template

A workspace for the thing you're building on the side. Keep your product spec tight, your roadmap honest, and your research in one place. Plank helps you move from idea to shipped faster — and remembers the context so you don't lose momentum between sessions.

What's included

  • Product spec and roadmap templates
  • Research folder for competitive analysis and notes
  • Source code scratchpad for technical decisions
  • context.md captures your tech stack and constraints
  • AI pair that knows your architecture

What Plank handles

The everyday jobs this workspace hands off to Plank — you review the finished work, not the busywork.

  • A backlog from your notes

    It gathers scattered ideas from notes and messages, turns them into tasks by area — development, design, marketing — and sets priorities.

    Add a reminders idea to the backlog

  • Landing page copy

    It writes headlines, feature descriptions and an FAQ section for the Quiet Focus landing page — in plain language and your tone.

    Write copy for the app landing page

  • App Store listings

    It prepares the name, subtitle, description and keywords for the App Store and Google Play, tailored to each platform.

    Write the App Store description

  • Release posts

    It puts together an announcement for the new version for Telegram, X and Product Hunt — what is new, who it is for and why to try it today.

    Write a launch post for v1.2

  • Growth metrics

    It computes weekly growth in users and MRR, finds the best week and tells you which channel drove the most installs.

    How is MRR growing over the last month?

  • Release reminders

    It keeps an eye on pre-launch tasks — screenshots, build, review — and reminds you what is still open before the deadline.

    Remind me to submit the build for review

  • User feedback

    It collects reviews from the form and stores, groups them by theme and tells you which fixes are requested most.

    What are users saying in reviews?

  • New features and hypotheses

    It suggests what to add next, rates an idea by impact and effort and adds a prioritized task to the backlog right away.
