After reading the criticism here, I feel you might be in the wrong crowd. :) I too do think though the transitions between different screens (i.e. clicking sides & top, bottom) should really have animated transitions to avoid disorientation. And I don't get why different screens go up or left or right or down in different situations. What's the relationship? It's hard to understand what items can be moved from where to what other list. The behaviour seems random. |

In this comment is some explanation about the meaning of levels. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15339086 It is like levels in a building (or reaching up to the of the mountain). You start with real practical stuff, like task you want to do this day, where it is clear what to do. The "higher" you navigate in the app (or walk up in the building) the lists become more abstract. Projects, Decisions(No, Done), Ideas. For the future the are even more higher levels planned like goals. The highest level will be your visions, kind of "why"(golden circles stuff) for every item in the lower levels.
The more the lowest level is aligned with the highest level the better you feel. (Means doing stuff that brings you were you really want with your life, and not only daily stuff that keeps you just busy)
Because all the items in the different levels are connected, it would be possible to give you feedback about a small daily task and how it relates or moves you forward with your big visions.
We work to improve the understanding of movements of items between lists, here a first explanation: I believe that if you understand the meaning(relates strongly to gtd) of every view, the movement of items follows by logic:
InView (List managed by user) - Capture everything without more work
IdeaView (List managed by user) - Stuff you want to do in the future, no next step known here
ActiveView (List managed by user) - Stuff you want to do next. For every project(more than one task) you have to define a next step or wait for somebody or defer to date xy.
ArchiveView (List managed by user) - Stuff you want be able to find again in the future or reuse
DoneView (Sink List) - things you have done
NoView (Sink List) - things you decided not to do
NextView (Auto filtered list) - all calculated nextsteps from activeView
AwayView (Auto filered list) - all items you marked as away from activeView
ReviewView (Auto filtered list) - all items from ideaView, activeView and archiveView that needs to be reviewed
2 examples: From idea to active means you finally decided to tackle an idea and want to define what to do next. So moving make sense here. From archive to active means you want to reuse for example a grocery list or a visit to known restaurant from your list. So copy make sense here.
Our goal is to make this complex relationships as intuitive as possible without the need for the user to understand everything. Lots of work to be done here :) A metaphor I really like: Many people drive a bicycle everyday because it is faster than walking, but not everyone needs (and wants) to understand the physics behind a bicycle to use it.
