Better, clearer design around the Goals | Subgoals and Habits sections
I know this has been discussed at length elsewhere, but it doesn't seem to have quite made the list here…
Much too often in Griply for me, the Goals and Subgoals are listed together and feel cluttered and overwhelming to me. I think it’s a function of everything being all just about the same font, size, and indentation — which creates much more reading instead of easily navigating by quick visual cues. I do find myself avoiding views where I have to look at these long lists that feel intimidating instead of satisfyingly organized. And of course that defeats the whole purpose of an app that's built around visions and goals!
This applies not just to the overall Goals page but even to menus where we’re using NLP to add our goal/subgoal to a task. It’s so hard to read! I’d love to see changes in fonts or at least type size and indentation to make it much clearer what’s what.
Adding the idea of seeing our active goals listed somewhere in Today or a Dashboard (suggested elsewhere — an idea worth supporting) would also then require less reviewing of the whole long list by the way.
Thanks for taking a look and supporting this one!

Thanks for putting words to what I feel as well. It's strangely cluttered and I feel very confused around the UI, especially on the app. I think working more with colors and shadings could work as well as your suggestions about the fonts

To me, Goals vs Sub-Goals should have different Heading sizes, bolding, different icon sizes, more indentation, a proper Sub-Goal icon, etc.
Everything just merges in to one right now, which means everything is so unclear when you break down a Goal into Sub-goals and Sub-Sub-goals

I agree with a lot of this.
It’s very hard to differentiate between Goals and Subgoals, for example. - Indentation is not enough, font size is not enough, no icon for Subgoals, etc.
Everything looks the same, which means nothing stands out.
Right now, Goals vs Subgoals vs Sub-subgoals gets EXTREMELY hard to work with.
And there is also a navigation element to that, and a surfacing of tasks at different hierarchy levels. - Showing tasks all the way down, etc. Including them in counts (optionally) or not.
Then also grouping. We should be able to group by Goal, but have Subgoals indent within that and appear under their parent Goal. Right now, when grouping by Goal, Sub-goals get the same indentation as parent Goals, and don’t appear under their parent Goal. So then your brain doesn’t know if it’s a Goal or Subgoal, or how it relates to anything.
