Show HN: I built a goal-oriented task manager

#42I like the hierarchical dependancy structure, but judging from the screenshots this tool lacks anything close to the information density I want. I need to see way more of my content per screen.
As other(s) have commented an option to nix any animations would also be a must.

#43Oooh, this could be neat! It hits at least a few of the features I touch on in my perfect task app wishlist: https://xavd.id/blog/post/my-perfect-task-app/ Some feedback: - on the web, the slow animations make every action feel clunky. I'm not sure you need animations at all, honestly - similarly, growing elements on the page as I click on them makes me feel like I'm chasing my tasks around the screen. Would be nice…
Have a look at https://fibery.io
You might be able to build your perfect todo app with it.
Don't like workflows? Don't add a workflow field.
Just you and no team? Don't add an assignees field, etc.
Want unlimited nesting? Set up a relationship that lets you do that.
Need recurring tasks? Set up an automation that reopens or clones tasks with a recurring field you've added, every week or day or whatever.
Want to know which tasks are "available"? Set up a formula field for that which looks at start date, the task statuses of any blockers, and whatever else you like (time of day even).
It's very cool.

#44I love the idea, but this needs to be usable locally without an account (on mobile devices). Or on Apple devices, just sync via iCloud.

Great feedback, an offline version is something we've been thinking about.

#46I noticed a couple of oddities: I managed to connect a successor to itself. Then I deleted the child which animated the parent, but both are still around and I can't interact with them. I also completed a task but it disappeared into the archive. When I tried to mark it as not complete, it marked a child as complete. A second attempt worked as intended though I kind of wish this was more like Linear or Trello where,…
Thanks for your bug reports!
Having an inline editor is something multiple people mentioned here, we are definitely considering it.
Drag and drop is also something we have been thinking about, but I always considered it a bit tricky to implement well.
Hope you give Plocs a try some time!

It would definitely be possible to reduce the height of tasks when they don't much text. Something we'll consider for the next version.

Re: Show HN: I built a goal-oriented task manager
#49Looks nice, but wouldn't it be more accurate to call it a project-oriented task manager - at least based on the landing page. You'd need an extra step for it to be goal-oriented, where projects point to goals. (It is entirely possible that I don't understand your product, in which case ignore this comment.)
It's true that most of the time these goals are intermediate or short term goals, and not long-term goals. It's worth considering if it would be useful to add information about long-term goals to tasks.
Re: Show HN: I built a goal-oriented task manager
#50This is exactly something that I have been trying to design in my spare time recently, and I want to suggest a feature. Building off the "Postpone Tasks" ability: postponing tasks is a bit of a reverse spaced repetition, isn't it? A task comes up that you asked to be reminded of, and you can dismiss it by asking to be reminded again later. That's a lot like being shown a flashcard in spaced repetition software, and a…
Definitely an interesting idea! There's some tasks I keep postponing over and over and there could be some smarter logic for that, I think.
