hi All, sharing some ideas here too, mainly thought for MLO Windows version:
- there should a simple/easy shortcut for switching through 'completed task
hidden', 'old completed task hidden', 'completed task shown' (probably easy
to implement, and high value added type of feature) note: I solved it since
I use autohotkey, so found a way to toggle that setting through the
keyboard.
- filters available at the top in the toolbar section, ideally fully
customizable which filters you can have there OR make columns name filters
(like in Excel, that would be super powerful!), but at min the ability to
filter by 'due date', 'importance', 'goal', 'status', 'context' would be
super productive. (I know you can set them from the Advance filters
feature, but the ability to have handy at just 1-click would make a huge
difference)
- ability to change 'status' field values from the main view (like you can
change due date) without the need to go to the properties panel on the
right. <-- generalizing this: any field that have a list of predefine
values should be possible to be updated from the main view
- status field available in any task w/o the need to make it a project.
- 'Group by' popup should probably have a grid (instead of the current
controls), such that you can easily move up/down the fields you want to
group by, that would be much easier to set up and update as needed. Even
with the grid you can keep the limit of only 4 group by levels.
- warning, game changer idea :-), a calendar view, I know and use the
ability to sync up with Google Calendar, it works like a charm indeed,
bi-directional update, just amazing, I agree, BUT, I think having a
built-in calendar view would take the app to the next level well beyond
competitors, this is the idea:
-- first the basic features you 'would expect' in any calendar view:
--- a section on the calendar page from where you can see your list of
tasks, such that you can drop into the calendar the ones you want
--- ability to drag and drop tasks from any day/time to another day/time
--- the 'typical' day/weekly/monthly views
--- ability to filter the tasks as you can do in the existing views <--
this is the big difference / value add in comparison to use Google
Calendar, meaning Google Calendar is great, but you can't take advantage of
all the MLO filtering features, that's why a built-in calendar in MLO would
be simply awesome
-- NEW (AND IMHO HIGH VALUE ADDED) IDEA:
--- when you drop a task (either from the backlog, or move one that was
already in the calendar) into a time slot that already had a task, a domino
effect is triggered that would move the tasks sequentially:
any existing tasks that were already in the calendar on the same time slot
would moved automatically. e.g. if I have a task that goes from 2pm to 3pm,
and place in that same slot a 30 mins task at 2pm, then the existing one
would automatically move to 2:30 to 3:30pm, same would happen with any task
that was after 3:30, basically when you place a task in the calendar (or
move an existing one) you create a domino effect...(that's not available in
any calendar app I have tried so far). tasks that fall from Day 1 would
automatically move to Day 2, etc
--- ability to control the 'domino effect': flag available at the task
level to keep the task unchanged if you place another task in that same
slot, or by tasks moved due to the domino effect. Basically (it could be by
default) each task has a flag that protects from being automatically moved
by the domino effect, but you have the option to uncheck that protection
such that the domino effect will move it. Real life example, you plan 3
things for day 1, ('enjoy time with the family', 'go running', and 'study
machine learning'), and you only complete the first 2, so you move 'study
machine learning' to day 2 where you already had tasks planned, those tasks
that were already in day 2 are automatically pushed down based on the
duration assigned to 'study machine learning' and the time slot you place
it.
-- another neat feature would be to have Quarterly/Yearly/Next N Years
views that allow you to plan at that level e.g an outcome I'd like to
achieve the next quarter, the next second quarter, the next year, you get
the idea, etc...
- and finally of course, :-), custom fields, it was already asked by many
people already, so +1. Ability to create custom fields of different types
(dates, list of text, list of numbers), then able to filter and/or group
using the custom fields. Custom fields on top of existing MLO features
would simply be 'rock and roll baby!' :-)
