| I've been looking for a combined task manager and calendar for a long time, and have often entertained building one for myself. Some feedback that is preventing adoption for me: - Complex recurrence is key. I exercise 4 days per week. I only process my inbox (GTD-style) on weekdays. I triage bugs twice per week. - Need to be able to view more than one day at a time on the calendar, and add tasks to specific days in that view — I plan out my weeks. - Looking at future dates, it still shows my tasks scheduled for earlier dates. This makes planning difficult. Ergonomic feedback - Keyboard shortcuts (including arrow key navigation) does not work if you are focused on the name field of the task in the list. This means I can't really navigate, open, archive, reschdule tasks without using the mouse. Or at least I can't see how to. Might have to change hotkey scheme (use control or option?) as well, as command+A, for example, should probably still select all text in a field. - I should be able to click out of the console — I keep trying to click or alt-tab out of it, like it’s spotlight, and it just hovers empty in front of my screen until I click to refocus on it and hit escape. - When I've thought of building this myself, a key feature was adding tasks to the day's calendar (like, "I plan to work on X from 2-3:30pm"). Currently I use Asana for it's calendar view (note: this is not a calendar integration) and great keyboard shortcuts. Anyway, congrats on the launch! |
Recurrence is something we will improve. But you have pretty specific ones :)
We will actually add a planning view with a full week. We are definitely aligned on that. Stay put.
For the future dates, yes indeed it's not ideal. We are in the process of fixing that. Well spotted.
For the navigation, again, need to improve you are right. You need to ESC to come back to arrow navigation for now.
Clicking out of the console is not easy to solve unfortunately. We are on it as well. What you can do is either focus on the console and press ESC. Or you can hit CTRL+SPACE once more and it will hide the console.
We do support "do something on DAY at TIME for DURATION" but it's still a bit buggy. We need to improve it :)
Thanks for all the feedback.
