Focuslist for android android#

I created 2 “Waiting” tasks on the Macbook and they wouldn’t sync to the server.

I have the X61 (Linux) setup as server with Samsung A11 (Android) and MacBook (Linux) as clients.

There is more context over the last few day.

Focuslist for android android#

LG Journey 元22DL on Android 10 with both 16GB and 32GB versions of phone The fix to reverse the Android sorting likely requires very little effort and won’t likely require much testing to verify. Recommendation: Put this at the near the top of the bug list triage. Using the workaround of assigning tags to AM, Anytime and PM tasks adds the layer of the user having to select those filters (which hides other non-habit related tasks in the Focus list) rather than just seeing the most chronologically relevant at the top.įrom a product perspective, it lowers the level of consumer confidence in the robustness of Everdo a medium amount. Enabling non-trivial habit management is a key competitive differentiator vs. When implementing a non-trivial daily habit management system (more than perhaps a single screen (~8 tasks) focus list will require often annoyingly long habitual scrolling to get to the tasks done first when those tasks are not at the top of the list. Not having consistent sorting pushes users to look elsewhere for cross platform solutions. This allows capture of some of the user revenue that might have gone to a habit management app purchase to flow to Everdo. While Everdo doesn’t allow all the features of a full-fledged habit management system, simply allowing workable daily repeating tasks covers perhaps 70% of the value of a habit management system. Users often begrudgingly use 2 apps for these functions. Android is probably more annoying as scrolling to the bottom on a phone is worse than on a larger screen Linux based machine. So one has to chose whether Linux or Android is backward when setting up daily habits. But, there are many daily desktop tasks as well. In this use case, Android is probably the more important case as people ticking off daily habits are more likely to do this on their phone. Linux sorts alphanumerically, Android does the reverse. The Focus list sorting is reversed between Linux and Android implementations. As you go through your day you will tend to tick off the tasks that chronologically come first, which tend to be at the top of the list and easily visible especially on phone.

Weekly: 300-Review GTD tasks, 310:swap backups to secure location etc.Įverdo’s consistent alphanumeric sorting allows adding prefixes to repeating tasks so that when they spawn into the Focus list, they sort in the order you want.

Morning: 100-Drink water, 110-walk dog, 120-Run trail course etc.Īnytime: 200-Read technical journals, 210-Check garden etc. When one tracks more than a screenful of repeating habits, it becomes more user friendly to have the earlier in the day habits appear at the top and later at the bottom.Įxamples of the repeating tasks in habit management system Consistent sorting allowed the implementation of a GTD compatible habit management system. While it may seem like an obvious thing, there was no consistent sorting in the competitor. One of the reasons I chose Everdo after purchasing and using your closest competitor was the alphanumeric sorting of the Focus list.
