About the app itself, I would love for it to be available also as a widget so that I can see the next few upcoming tasks in the pull-down menu. To be most useful the widget should allow you to select what to show. E.g. can choose just next upcoming thing, or next n number of things or whole day etc
Show HN: Strongweek, an iOS app focused on weeks months and years, not due dates

#22This looks pretty good and I'll give it a shot, I've been fairly keen on disabling notifications in general so the lack of them here is more of a selling point because I don't feel like I'm handicapping myself.
Sometimes I think of things to do that should really be done before a few other items in the same day

Where do you see 3mb? I see "4.3 MB" on the App Store page but still that's impressive.
When an app is uploaded to the app store, it is compiled for every different device separately. You likely have a higher resolution phone/device than the OP, so there's more image data on your version

#25When I add a task to Todoist, the suggested due dates are "Today", "Tomorrow" and "Next week", which already fills my need for rough grained due dates (since as a procrastinator I rarely even think about next month or next year in terms of todos). I highly suspect that it's not the only to-do list app that does it like that.

I assumed this was a common feature, but I just use Google Assistant to do this. "Remind me to change my filters every 6 months at 10 AM." I think my longest term reminder is for renewing my secondary citizenship passport (~10 years I think), though I do have this backed up with a Google Calendar event just in case.
This gets close but I don’t think it will then allow you to easily see which of these periodic tasks you can work when you have a few hours to spare today.

#28Great idea. May I suggest to use iOS’s default design? Your USP is in the app, not the design. And the current design is.. not the best.
I also think the website design needs a bit of work. The typography is a bit all over the place, the "dissolving" clock at the bottom (with stains on top of the app) is a good idea not well executed, and the page itself is quite overloaded, compared to the simplicity of the app's interface.
But it seems they have launched very recently so there is definitely room for improvement. I would mostly simplify things, which is the core idea of the app anyway.

Not sure what causes this.

#30Can U suggest a feature that I’ve been looking for in a TODO app for a long time. Tasks that are periodic but not urgent. Like changing the filters on your heating system every 6 months, adding fertilizer to the garden every 3 months, etc. Then when you have some time to spare you can easily see these kinds of tasks that you normally forget.
I assumed this was a common feature, but I just use Google Assistant to do this. "Remind me to change my filters every 6 months at 10 AM." I think my longest term reminder is for renewing my secondary citizenship passport (~10 years I think), though I do have this backed up with a Google Calendar event just in case.
It would be super helpful to me to have a calendar reminder that succinctly said "you said you wanted to do this every 6 months, and now it's 23 days overdue" (and then when I finally do the thing, schedule the next one for 6 months after that day, not 6 months after I was supposed to do it in the first place).
Various "habit tracker" apps do this pretty well, but they don't fit in with my calendar.
