Progressor, a tool designed to break down large goals into actionable steps, is receiving criticism on Hacker News. Users are concerned about the lack of upfront information regarding privacy, data usage, and pricing. Several comments highlight that users must provide their email address before seeing pricing details, which is considered a "dark pattern." The AI-powered nature of the service also raises privacy concerns. Some users feel it's a low-effort ChatGPT wrapper with a subpar UI, questioning why they should pay for it when they already have similar AI tools. Reviewers suggest the service might be a crude experiment to collect emails and user goals. Further criticism points to the lack of clarity on what users get after paying, and the overall value proposition of using AI for task breakdown versus doing it manually. The provided instructions for learning tasks seem too basic for the target audience who also lack the ability to create their own list.
