I only tried your app on phone but it looks like you can't tap and add or drag things around. You always need to edit the numbers. Maybe the UX/UI could use some love?

Fair enough. Yeah, I don't intend to make money off this, so will open source soon.

Yeah, I haven't given it that much thought. It only started as a weekend project. I would like to keep it as local as I can. Possibly, there will be 2 uses: a non-db, non-url, loca…

It's all the same. From what I read today, Eisenhower used and popularized it and then Covey improved upon it and used it in his book. Same stuff, just different packaging, this on…

Doable but no such plans yet

Yep, those are awesome suggestions. I'm gonna work with some friends who know UX to improve that.

Eventually, depending on how it goes, the URL will contain a key to some DB entry, so multi-device persistence can work. Adding all this to the URL is doable too, I might just star…

Color/ size seem to be the common consensus, and I will work that in. Edges clutter things too much

Yes, it makes the screen eerily blank and uninviting. Maybe I can grey them out or something

Yeah, planning is a double edged sword. And I don't believe one tool works for everyone or all needs. Our brains and thought processes are too varied to all fit in opinionated fram…

Sure. I think the axis names is easy enough. I need to start working on the sharing/ saving of accounts coz a bunch of folks have requested that now

Comment #25024458
Yep, IIUC what you are talking about is similar to the question others have raised about an "Effort" dimension. To keep the daily or slightly more long term planning simple, I opte…

Argh, that means I did a bad job at the UI. The "things" on the right are not supposed to be buttons, but cards that get updated when you add tasks. There is only one button, the l…
