Good point, maybe leverage a link shortener built into the app?
Yup, but you’d still need a database since you need to store that lookup somewhere from long URL to short url.

#82An app to visualize and organize your tasks in an Impact/ Urgency matrix. The app currently uses local storage only, no accounts yet. Would love some feedback :)
Local storage only and no accounts is a feature to me
A takeout as csv or json would also be needed. That could also be the basis for multi-device, which some people undoubtedly will need.
Ideally of course open source it. I am always hesitating to feed closed-source services with my data.

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 start with that, thanks for the idea ;)
If at all you could make it stateless, you should. For one, you don't need a db. Also, there were some people in the thread that liked the local storage feature. Finally, as a user, I can feel safe using your service because I know at any time, if you site disappears, I have the url and I can trivially parse the url into json and do whatever I want with it. You could even build the parser or have an export to json bu…

What about using an IPFS key and using js-ipfs to look it up?
Here's the website[1] I built with base64 encoding to share weblinks. I've been trying to think of a non-db approach, but haven't found one yet for link shortening.

#86Finally some new ideas in this space. Love it! Lists are honestly a pretty awful way to organize to-dos. Our brains don't work linearly at all.
Its not new. Its called a covey chart and is used in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" from 1989, a highly popular self help book. (not sure if it was used in any prior work)
It's Eisenhower Matrix through and through, but I found draggable task dot quite refreshing.

#87I was listening to one of my 1950's beatnik poetry albums, and the reader used the adjective "baller" twice, in the same way that we do today.

#88As an aside, just this morning I learned that "baller" is an expression almost a century old. At least.

#89You have made a very intuitive visual representation of this idea.
Could it be named something more descriptive? Why Baller Todo? eg Impactful Todo, To Do The Most Impact
