Tasks are hard to see, are not clear - improve ux (like todoist)

Feature Requests

In ToDoist, a list of tasks feel more clear/simple. In griply, a list of tasks feels busy, cluttered and hard to see what I need to do. I have used todoist for a long time so I might be biased but when I compare two lists I notice the following things

  • The whole list is centered aligned (which is great when I don’t have any side bar on)

  • Todoist has horizontal dividers which make it easier to seperate them

  • The life/area mention is placed at the right (instead of left below the task) giving more space and air to the task.

  • Time/Dates have colors which make it easier to differentiate when something is comming up/planned and thus easier to understand what is important and not imoprtant

  • The project has no color, in griply there is vertical line for the color of the goal/life area. This vertical line is now a bit random beneat the tasks (vertical line in the middle of a sentence). By placing the life area/goal mention to the right would probably make this a bit neater, but maybe removing it or usign something like a circle would improve the ux as well by simpliying it.

TLDR: the basic task list in gripy feels cluttered and is hard to read compared to the light task list in todoist

    Agree with a lot of this.

    I find so many elements of the Task Lists and Goals Lists UI to be really hard to understand or see clearly.

    Once you have more than a handful of Tasks per List/Goal/Today/Upcoming/Whatever, it becomes extremely hard to look at and see what to do.

    I agree that the Goal/Life area a Task is for listed below the Task is hard to see, especially with the date and time next to it. I would either use the giant white space to the right, or put the goal/life area on a different line to the date and time (So it goes Task Name / Goal or Life Area / Date and time, each as a new line). Possibly the latter, as the former would have its own problems, e.g., with long task names. But either way.

    Need better clarity over what is a Life Area, Goal, Sub-Goal, Task. All the icons are the same for each.

    There is no clarity over what is a Focus Block. That is not clear in List view.

    Would also help to have multiple levels of grouping, so we could separate things out even more. - Two levels of grouping and sorting
