Awesome project. Currently I use org-mode for this but Flow Dashboard seems way prettier and user-friendly. It may not be flexible enough, but as it is open source I may be able to make it fit my needs.

Sadly I tried to log in with my gmail account and it just returns me to the Login page again.

Did you ever make it into the app? If not, what browser are you using? If you find steps to reproduce this issue, please let me know, or file an issue on the repo.
Chromium in Debian. I installed Firefox now and it does work.

I'm not going to migrate from Org-Mode and Emacs as I'm too invested there but I find Flow Dashboard a very good project for people who are new to Quantified Self and doesn't want to spend dozens/hundreds of hours setting up their own system or don't need that level of detail/features.

Anyway, these are some features which I miss:

- Being able to clock inside tasks. Also expected time to completion of the task so you can adjust future predictions.

- Child tasks. At least projects should have them. Common tasks may just have checklists.

- Good editor and markdown support for the journal.

- Integration with some finance/budgeting app like YNAB or Ledger.

- Work without Google AppEngine. My journal shouldn't be a hack or a search warrant away. Too sensitive.

- Being able to schedule the tasks and habits. Maybe integration with Google Calendar, but privacy again..
