This will be my idea for my new project.
I'm the founder of Upbase, and it was on Show HN just a few days ago.
Thoughts?
Also Weektodo: https://weektodo.me/
There are so many hard & interesting problems out there - software & otherwise - and this space doesn't need yet another re-skin with one or two tweaks.
Couldn't you have applauded the effort and offered some constructive criticism regarding your preference in look and feel?
If everyone just bums everyone out it ends up taking monumental confidence to try and achieve anything. Be better.
Let’s not pretend that the vectors for “effort” and “impact” should be orthogonal.
Sometimes people need to hear tough feedback...lest you become one of those people that quit their jobs and audition on American Idol or something.
We need more computational biologists solving protein folding problems or the like to cure humanity’s greatest ills. NOT a todo app with a new sticker on it.
But no kid starts as a computational biologist solving protein folding problems.
I’d love to see support for more of a week-agnostic format. That our weeks traditionally start on Monday or Sunday means nothing to me. If it’s Friday or Saturday and I’m mapping out my next five days, I’m stuck with the jarring experience of having to navigate back and forth between two arbitrary groups of days.
I’m imagining a layout option where of the 7 days, day 2 is always today, perhaps with some sort of smooth-scroll snapping capability that lets me granularly travel forward or backward through days as needed.
Love the call to action in the sample too "remember to save :point_up:" - but that wording threw me off a bit. Why save and not "save by logging in"? Does saving not happen automatically after every change?
Best of luck with Tweek!
Please make the saturday and sunday as large as the weekdays. <3
For example - say I need to service the car every year so I create a corresponding repeating event in my calendar. However, at some point I decide to service the car a couple of months sooner or later than planned. Now, the events are out of sync and I have to reschedule the whole series so it doesn't drift. Or, if I'm past the planned servicing time, I don't see the event at all and may forget about it.
What I'd like to be able to do is to create a repetitive todo that pops up again a certain time AFTER THE LAST TIME I COMPLETED IT. I serviced the car a month ahead of time? I complete the task, and the next occurrence will also move up by a month. I was on vacation when the car had to be serviced? The todo is still there, and the next occurrence will also be pushed back.
Starting at 49 USD per month.
“For now the WeekTodo it is a Freeware application and not open source.”
"The code of this repo belongs to the app landing page and not to the application"
So it's not open source at all as others have mentioned.
One 'feature' I was using myself was a 'rolling week': The leftmost column is always today [1]. At the end of the day, I'd make a point of clearing out all items that were not checked off: They either move to one of the upcoming days or back into the backlog. At first I thought I would want some automatic behavior, like always moving unchecked items to the next day, but it's actually become a useful end-of-day ritual for me to see what I did not do, whether it is still important and if and when I want to do it. Then, when everything out of 'today' is either checked off or moved elsewhere, the day moves to the end of the rolling week, so that on each day of the week I always have a visible window of seven days.
Another feature I started using regularly was the 'copy' functionality that Trello has built in: it's just practical to be able to quickly duplicate items and in the process define into which day they should go.
[1] Actually the second col from the left, because I had the backlog as the leftmost one
Edit: I should clarify that I wasn't using this as a _calendar_ but rather as a Todo app/list. I'm still using macOS' regular calendar app for everything that is more than 7 days out.
Suggest just "17th", since the month name is written in big above anyway.
But with the mobile and Mac app (haven't tried the iPad app yet), it shows a "list type" view (not sure if that's the correct term).
Are you considering adding a "week planner" view to at least the Mac app?
I realized that most people are looking at the tools to solve their problems and hoping that it will somehow nudge/pressure/force/cajole them into doing their tasks. However, I believe that no external tool will be meaningful unless you develop a system or a pattern of acting on how to get things done.
I was a very early user of teuxdeux.com, Fantastical, etc. and have subscribed for a while. I like the idea of Your Life in Weeks[1], so I'm currently subscribed to TimeStripe[2]. However, it looks like I'm better off just journaling and mind-mazing my future in plain-text[3]. If I need something, I might copy or design up something.
Like the other comments, my take is, Tweek indeed looks beautiful and brilliant, and I will try it (signing up now).
But then, with such tools, my usual outcome is -- hmmm, I believe I can do that without the tool(s). Here is how my current calendar/todo pattern works;
- "Important and Urgent" ones are scheduled in the calendar.
- "Urgent but Not Important" are delegated or sent to the right person.
- "Important but not Urgent" are in a running plain-text (todo) that I might visit weekly or monthly.
- The above may also have a "Maybe" list that is Neither Important NOR Urgent, which I might cancel, defer, or wait until it gets resolved.
My CC is ready
It works better than screenshots
