Show HN: Supertasks.io – Quick Decision making tool with Keyboard-first approach

We made a developer-centric and keyboard-first tool for task management and decision-making.

The pace at which developers build does not match the pace at which they manage tasks, our aim with supertasks.io is to make it possible.

We built supertasks.io during the pandemic when we had multiple simultaneous projects to manage but not the right tool that would load fast, be easy to use, and be keyboard friendly.

The tool can also be used without signup, however, for sync on multiple devices, login is required.

The GUI looks quite different from a typical To-Do app, so I'd emphasize that rather then the keyboard, and I'd make that work for input not just output: Click on one field in the matrix to add a task there.

Noted @amadeuspagel, we can implement a feature so that clicking empty space in any section creates the task in that section. This should make mouse operations also faster. Thanks, Do you have any other feedback as well?

I agree with that. Note: Right now, if you [add] but don't pick a category, your task disappears without warning or prompting. Poof, it's gone.

Suggestions:

1. For "delegated" tasks, add a person to delegate to. Also, maybe add "today/tomorrow/someday" choices for "do later"

2. Sometimes it is hard to decide what to "do now". It would be nice if you incorporated some kind of Eisenhower Matrix idea. So, the ability to tag a task and important/not-important and urgent/not-urgent and maybe automatically move tasks to your categories accordingly.
