Sovereignty & Compliance

S.Babas — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 06:36:00 +0000

I am currently focusing on sovereignty and compliance for NuxiPro. My goal is to build a truly helpful, privacy-first tool that respects user data.

Here is the roadmap I am executing before pushing forward with NuxiPro's cloud version:

GDPR Compliance: Clearly document data storage locations, processing methods, and third-party sub-processors.
Legal Hub: Centralize all legal and compliance documents directly on the landing page.
GDPR Traceability: Implement a strategy to track user consent, permissions, and privacy preferences accurately.

Ultimately, my goal is to deliver a sovereign, privacy-respecting, minimalist alternative to Trello.

Hiding tasks instead of archiving them in their dedicated zone slows down the tool

I tested this approach of hiding completed tasks, similar to what most tools on the market do

However, I quickly realized that it doesn’t solve the problem of interface clutter.
By simply hiding them, these tasks remain present in the background.

As soon as you click on "show archives," the interface gets overloaded due to this pseudo-archiving system.
The result? The tool slows down progressively, and the frontend keeps trying to load data that was never actually moved to a dedicated archive zone.

This is why I created a minimalist Kanban board, stripped of unnecessary features, which truly archives completed tasks by moving them out of the main workflow.

I am currently building NuxiPro in public, sharing my journey and insights in case they can be helpful.

Have you ever encountered this slowdown issue in your daily use of productivity tools?

First days of NuxiPro's launch on Product Hunt, here's what it revealed

NuxiPro is a tool that automatically archives your tasks to stop the "Done" column from turning into a graveyard of completed tasks, freeing up your workspace visually and keeping the tool clean and minimalist, without it trying to load tons of tasks into the Done column and starting to slow down.

Early in the launch, I quickly noticed that NuxiPro's demo had a barrier to entry: the product tour.

A product tour is a simple guided walkthrough that shows users, the first time they land on a tool they just discovered, the value of that tool, i.e. what they gain by using it.

My mistake was leaving the NuxiPro demo raw, with no guide to help users understand the tool and reach their aha moment.

The result: a user would land on the demo, not know what to do, click around a bit, then close the tab out of frustration and leave without understanding what they stood to gain.

Even for a product that solves a real, painful problem, if there's no guide helping the user understand what they gained from using it, they just leave.

How did I spot this problem?

I integrated PostHog to analyze engagement on the demo and understand the drop-off points. On the security/GDPR side, the maskAllInputs option is pushed to the max:

`posthog.init(token, {
  session_recording: {
        maskAllInputs: true, // Blurs all input fields (inputs/forms)
 },
});`

My solution was to integrate driver.js, a lightweight library that helps people get their bearings with your product, while guiding them toward the project's main goal.

My steps were as follows:

`Start → [1: Hello] → Click "Let's go!"
       → [2: Drag task to DONE] → Drop successful
       → [3: Archives opened] → Close Archives
       → [4: Click waitlist] → Dialog opened → Tour complete`

I need beta testers and feedback on the demo before building the cloud version of NuxiPro.

I'll give you early access before the official launch, on the day the cloud version is ready.
