PositioningHQ v0.4.0

PositioningHQ Desktop is a free, open-source app that guides you through building a positioning and competitive-intelligence wiki, using your own Anthropic API key. Everything stays in a folder you choose on your computer.

New in 0.4.0: a redesigned Positioning Playbook

• Step by step. The playbook opens on an At a glance overview, then one tab per section (Market, Customers, Value, Advantages, Positioning, Competitors, Proof), with a progress bar. No more one long scroll.
• Key takeaways at the top of every section, and a Gap to close where the evidence is weak, with a concrete next step. Playbooks made before 0.4.0 can add them in one small run (about $0.10), which you review before anything changes.
• Easier to read. Value drivers, distinct advantages and competitors are cards you can open; the positioning statement is a table with copyable message variations.
• This section panel: confidence, sources, last changed, Make a change, Copy this section, and Ask Chat about it.
• Export PDF: a branded PDF with a cover, the overview, contents and every section. You can leave out material from your own files before sharing it.
• Help plan: collect the gaps you want help with and send them to the Parallel79° team through a form in your browser. The app sends nothing on its own.
• Fixed: value driver headings no longer appear twice.
