Inspiration

As said, in the last few years, I used quite a few applications to manage my tasks and my projects. And when I say "quite a few" I mean that I tried a lot of them… Which actually means that I used dozens and dozens of apps before I settled with Todoist.

Now, Todoist is great: I love the design and the flexibility of it but still, too many times it feels like it could use a few more functionalities and improvements could be applied to it(Doist's team is working on it and we'll hopefully see some new and interesting features in the upcoming months).

As you will see I used features already included in Todoist (i.e. priorities and smart task completion) and the idea is to not scare the user by displaying too many information at the same time, something that Todoist does incredibly well.

I took inspiration from Jira and Trello as well: Jira's sidebar to provide additional information regarding the current task is great and clear to understand, while Trello boards are still unbeaten in their flexibility (but Jira implements them really well).

Adding different kinds of tasks, like 2Do does, is also something that I find extremely helpful when dealing with big projects and I think I was able to find a good balance between simplicity and flexibility.

From Wrike I took the ability to easily customise the workflow, making managing and filtering tasks easier than ever.

There are many others things that I've absorbed during these years, analysing every app I work with and trying to remember every feature and idea that could be helpful if applied to another project but it's obviously difficult, and pointless, to list them all.
