A note from the founder

Put one sentence at the top of every dashboard.

A pitch for a small widget that wants to live on every workday.

The widget answers one question every morning.

  • Throughline asks for a single sentence at the start of every workday.
  • That sentence carries the spine of the day across every other choice.
  • Three anchor tasks hang off it inside the same small card.

The widget belongs on the dashboard people already open.

  • Most teams open the same internal homepage every morning by habit.
  • Throughline takes the top-left slot of that homepage.
  • Every other tile reorders around the day's stated intention.

By Friday the streak shows the truth of the week.

  • Seven dots along the bottom mark whether each day carried a real spine.
  • The reactive days surface as quietly empty cells along the row.
  • That single row carries the only metric we measure ourselves against.
