Show HN: Weekend project to help me remember to update my boss every day

Wow, great walk through. The lightweight alternative I started with was a recurring calendar event with a mailto link :-) But I wanted something a little more formal, and it was a fun app to build!
A bit nit picky but you got a double "so" in:
"We store your responses so so it's clear what you've been working on."
"We store your responses so so it's clear what you've been working on."
Thank you! Fixed.
So. Like Idonethis? https://idonethis.com/
Funny you brought this up. It's a little different from iDoneThis in that it's about updating your boss, not about storing your "dones". I actually built a team version of this, but that is identical to weDoneThis, and being friends with Walter from iDoneThis, I don't want to just copy their hard work. So offering this for free for now. :-)
Hi, looks great! When you say "weekend project", did you really build it in two days?
Right now I've got about 27 hours into it. So not technically at this point :-) But the initial feature set took about 8 hours. I've just been fiddling with it a lot since I built it - logo, design, slightly improved onboarding, making it responsive, etc.
mutt -s 'Daily status.' -e 'my_hdr Reply-To: bosses-address' your-address
Though some problems with this approach are: 1. Your emails would be prefixed with 'Re:' 2. Configuring mutt or other command-line email programs require some setup. 3. Your computer needs to be running when the cron job is set to execute.
