Agreed re: 18 months. Been using Things for 8-9 years now, tried Sunsama, Todoist, and Amazing Marvin but keep coming back to Things.

Godspeed looks interesting enough vs Things to kick the tires b/c:

1. Speed of date picking and moving todos (choosing dates in Things is a mouse operation and I do it multiple times a day. It's 2024 guys, we don't need calendar pickers when we have command palettes)

2. Image support (super annoying I can't include files in Things. Again... 2024, come on)

3. Sharing lists (can't do in Things which doesn't respect that todos are often collaborative / shared)

Cultured Code's rate of development is my greatest negative, lol. Text resizing is the biggest feature add in recent memory.

Not so! Cmd-Shift-D: https://imgur.com/a/kfa6KZj

CMD-Shift-D -- TIL, thanks!
CMD Shift S too
Try TickTick. It’s pretty much Todoist but with a faster developmental pace. The desktop app is also less of a shitty oversized mobile app layout. It is however slightly less refined. And you get stuff like a time tracker (Pomodoro) and habit tracker built in.
Changing dates in Things isn’t a mouse operation. Highlight todo, Cmd+Shift+D, then type the date.
