Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don’t know about you but on iPhone Safari it’s terrible. No momentum scrolling makes it exhausting to scroll through, and there’s a broken horizontal scroll.

Yes. It’s horrible. I opened it for like 2s and gave up. I guess if reader mode works this could be OK. Don’t override scroll behavior.

It’s even worse than that. I actually scrolled all the way down on an iPhone and the last third of the article was cut off and only accessible through reader mode.

The irony of a paean to command line tools being housed in unnecessarily compromised UX is a bit much.

I tried this as well. I'm yearning for a tool that lets me drag & drop an email, and it automatically creates a task based on the content. I can obviously go and edit it after setting deadline or assign to project etc. I was hoping to create this workflow with MS Outlook(on Mac) and its inbuilt Tasks, but apparently they don't support it :-( I would pay for such a feature.

I use a variation on inbox-zero: if it's unread, it still has to be dealt with. Sort email unread-first. Works well enough for me (I have lots of "automatically mark read" filters for noise emails).

I recently came across https://www.moo.do. Might be what you're after.

Does anyone use Taskwarrior with more than just a few tasks? I have about 15 projects going at once and flip between them numerous times during the day. The projects might have several sub-projects and multiple next actions.

Are Projects/Subtasks implemented well?

Outlook/OneNote combo works well for this.

Yes, my manager who uses a Windows laptop teases me with it. I'm using a Mac and am left out.

offtopic, but I really like the fresh minimalism of the website. The colors and the choice of the monospaced font are quite unique. It captures the feel of using a terminal without being boring.

I got to a point where the entire screen is occupied by one of the black terminal blocks quotes and got stuck. Can't scroll any further. Grabbing in these areas just makes the screen bounce instead of scrolling.

Checked on a computer and confirmed that yes, there is more content past where the phone version became unscrollable. Hands down the worst scrolling override I've ever encountered.

EDIT: You can grab it on the edges if you get stuck here (or you can go read some other website where scrolling works properly)
