[UI Develop] long text, time format, better calender

1. Difficulty Viewing Full Description for Long-Text Tasks in Progress

When a task with a lengthy description (e.g., "Do something, format code, create issue, and blablabla") is actively in progress, it's challenging to view the complete task details. The current UI truncates or hides the full text, making it hard to reference the details without interrupting the workflow.

Example:

2. Optimize Icon Layout in Task List for Better Readability

The current task list row layout includes the following elements (from left to right):

<Possible pause icon> Task description | Task icon | Task duration
Image

I suggest reordering to improve alignment and readability: task icon and description left-aligned, with duration right-aligned. This would make the list more scannable. Proposed layout (from left to right):

<Possible pause icon> Task icon | Task description | <Right-aligned: Task duration | Importance marker | Checklist marker>
Image

By the way, task durations displayed in formats like "1:30" can be easily mistaken for actual clock times (e.g., 1:30 PM). To enhance clarity and reduce ambiguity, consider updating the time format to a more explicit style, such as "1h 30min". This change would make durations immediately distinguishable from timestamps without altering functionality.

3. Integrate Recurring Tasks into Calendar View for Better Long-Term Planning

I frequently use the calendar view to overview tasks over extended periods (e.g., a week or even months). However, recurring tasks (such as periodic training sessions or courses) are currently separated from the standard calendar view, which makes it difficult to get a holistic sense of upcoming commitments. Consolidating them would greatly enhance time management, allowing users to quickly identify busy or idle periods and optimize their schedules.

To support the integration of recurring tasks, may add a toggle switch in the calendar view to alternate between two modes:

  • All Scheduled Tasks Overview: Displays all arranged tasks, including recurring ones, for a comprehensive long-term view.
  • Standard View: The current calendar view, showing only non-recurring tasks.

In terms of UI implementation, the only difference would be the number of items displayed—no changes to the overall calendar framework are needed, keeping the update simple and non-disruptive.

Great job! Thank you!

I greatly appreciate the effort you put into creating this issue.

  1. Difficulty Viewing Full Description for Long-Text Tasks in Progress

I have big plans about this. Many people ask my to make this text easy to edit. So, I planned to rethink this.

  1. Optimize Icon Layout in Task List for Better Readability

Please look at this https://github.com/Medvedev91/timeto.me/discussions/144. I'am working on a big refactoring. I plan to remove emojis, so you will able to put emoji to text itself. List with repeating task also will be redesigned.

I'm also waiting for this feature. :)


Thank you again.

I would be grateful if you could leave your thoughts here https://github.com/Medvedev91/timeto.me/discussions/144 or leave a review on app stores.
