I love all these Roam Research style tools--always felt this was a really cool idea. If anyone is interested in open source options, I'd recommend: Foam - A Roam-inspired tool for markdown note taking--ahem, personal knowledge management (same features as Organizedly)--that runs on VSCode/Codium. I personally use and love it. Syncs across all my devices with Git, and deploys easily on free-tier Vercel, which is a nic…

Agree, and I'll add the tiddlywiki-based alternatives Stroll [0] and Drift [1]. They are simply self-contained, single html+js-files - easy to back up, genius for longevity [0] https://giffmex.org/stroll/stroll.html [1] https://akhater.github.io/drift/

Big +1 for tiddlywiki and all of the tools built on it. The single html file really makes it easier to distribute across devices. There's a pretty cool ecosystem built up around it:

It's fast, looks polished and I love that it has scheduling. That has been missing from my life (does anyone know similar projects?). If you could now assign completion times it might be possible to auto-schedule some things.

2 gripes I have after a few moments of use:

Why, just why, do so many apps including this one only allow one layer of sub-tasks? Infuriating.

The other is a bit less simple: Do I really want to invest my time into and become dependent on a SaaS that can do whatever with my data and disappear whenever? I tend towards no; the code being available would ease my doubts significantly.

You have a “Try it out” button that forces me to create an account and login. This is a turn of for me, completely. So, no trying out for me

Yes, currently the only way to try it out is by creating an account. A live demo with data could help us demonstrate the platform without the need of creating an account, but that is not yet implemented.

On the positive side: Creating an account via Google is fast and easy. Had that not been available I'd have walked away too.

Always interesting to test out a new productivity app in the search of the perfect solution :-) Looks promising! Really like the clean layout. A bit of feedback: (maybe a bug?) when I tried to add new tasks to "Today", tasks added after the first task did not have the current date set and therefore did not show up. (At first it seemed like saving tasks did not work.)

thanks for the feedback! The Today filter filters out tasks that don't have a due date today. If you are on the Today page and click Add new task, the day is automatically set for today. However, if you open the add new task field on another filter page (e.g. Overdue) and navigate to Today, the due date is not updated.

Good app and nice execution, some missing things for me: - I would like to have the possibility to repeat tasks in a predefined manner, like daily or some particular days. - When I create a task I would like to have the title focused so I can start writing right away. - Keyboard shortcuts to create/go to each of the different items.

Thanks for the feedback! Repeating tasks and more keyboard shortcuts are planned. Makes sense to focus on the title, that's a small thing and will be done soon.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for the feedack! I do agree, notes are extremely personal. We will be updating the security section in the course of this week. We are also experimenting with end-to-end encryption, that most note-taking tools lack.

E2E encryption while having a useful search engine seems pretty hard to do from what I'm understanding. I switched from Notion to my own electron-based markdown editor just for the peace of mind of not having my notes stored in clear on someone else's server.

It's okish to implement, here is an example...

The harder part is probably from a UX sense, how do you make sure people understand that the key is important, and how do you or not store it on their computer.

I feel like calendars should allow filling spaces other than half hour blocks. I think I understand why the Google calendar might do this. The target usage might be more for events or meetings which fit more nicely in these blocks. For usage outside of events and meetings, I want to be able to paint the calendar at whatever minute and intervals that I like. And if we're only doing 30 minute blocks, aren't we just doi…

thanks for the feedback! The possibility to create shorter blocks makes sense, we will consider implementing that. Also, we are working on an integration to the king.

Sounds great! Couple of things / questions. 1. Can I schedule a todo more than once? Some stuff requires multiple rounds if work. 2. My back button doesnt work from the login page. I press back expecting to go to index but instead refresh login.

1. We have repeating tasks and recurring tasks on the roadmap 2. Thanks for letting us know! I'll have a look.

It’s not so much repeating tasks but working in the same task over multiple time slots.
