Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Ahsan — solo founder, and VanillaPM is the thing I wished existed for years. The frustration that started it: the tools that actually teach you project management are locked behind enterprise pricing, and the affordable ones teach you nothing. So I spent three months building the platform I wanted — the full PMBOK 8th-edition lifecycle, charter to closeout — and made it genuinely free. No trial, no seat limits, no paywall. What's inside: The whole predictive spine — WBS, critical-path Gantt, Earned Value, Monte Carlo schedule forecasting Risk & assumption registers, stakeholder management, and a governed knowledge base with PDF export Sprints & Kanban for adaptive delivery A bring-your-own-key AI assistant that drafts charters and plans grounded in your real project data — it won't invent facts A free Learn PMP course + an ITTO memory game for exam prep, in 7 languages It's built for the people usually priced out of "serious" PM: PMP candidates, students, freelancers, small NGOs, and small teams. I build in public and share the numbers — the wins and the flops (it cost under $700 to reach 1.0). New accounts can explore a fully-built sample project with zero setup, so you can poke around before creating anything. I'd genuinely love your feedback — especially: If you're a PM: does the PMBOK depth feel useful, or heavy? If you're learning: is the free course something you'd actually use? Anything broken or confusing — tell me, I'm here all day. Thanks for checking it out 🙏 Ask me anything.
