Finally 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.

Haha, take the other people out of the equation. This is more about self-prioritization. How your team/ org works/ prioritises depends on a variety of factors and I do not think any single framework will serve all those. This is not even attempting to solve that need.
It's a neat idea, though I too started over-engineering planning for myself. Over time a simple text-list works well for me. Quadrants is more a communication and collaboration tool. Looks like nice work though. Besides, if someone asks, they always get response.
Yeah, I posted here for the feedback/ response. Trying to improve my understanding of UX/UI and no better way than to get users to tell you :D

#43It's one of those things I learned about a long time back (in Stephen Covey's book) and though I often use it in prioritizing tasks never saw this in an app before. Well done!

#44Very nice execution of a very simple and powerful idea. It's one of those things I learned about a long time back (in Stephen Covey's book) and though I often use it in prioritizing tasks never saw this in an app before. Well done!

#45Nice. What are the buttons on the right supposed to do ? I click but nothing happens (I expected a create new task dialog).
Argh, that means I did a bad job at the UI. The "things" on the right are not supposed to be buttons, but cards that get updated when you add tasks. There is only one button, the last one which says "completed" which clears out your completed tasks. Can I ask you what I could do to make them NOT look like buttons or what made you think they were buttons? :)

I'd disable the hand cursor CSS when hovering. I am on desktop and that's why I expected something to happens when clicking.

Having them be invisible until someone adds a task could be a good start.

#50It'd be interesting to be able to use size or color to indicate additional dimension(s). I like to measure “return” in terms of impact/urgency and “investment” in terms of cost/complexity, and then maximize “ROI” instead of just maximizing “return”.
The ability to sequence things seems to be the biggest thing you lose with the no-list representation, but I think that's easy to fix: let the user add “edges” between “nodes” to indicate dependencies.
