    While the dictionary definition is not the same, I think they are "similar" enough. Also, it's up to the user to define impact/importance, depending on their state of mind/ priorit…

    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?

    Oh man, I hear you, most of this stuff is really random. your app was pretty neat though

    Thanks! I like cool names, plus I wanted to make planning/ prioritization fun and not daunting.

    Haha, I would not be surprised if Beatnik gave birth to the word 'baller'.

    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…

    The highlighted task is the "most" important task in terms of impact and urgency.

    Interesting! Yeah that's an easy fix.

    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…

    To those who pointed out that I should mention Eisenhower or Covey, they have been given due credit here: https://ballertodo.com/what Thanks for informing me about Covey :)

    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

    Oh boy, you are right. I missed that! Will fix. Thanks for bringing it up.

    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…
