Various quirks in visual formatting and user interaction

Open brainchild0 opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

Planify is visually elegant and highly usable, but its feature set carries a handful of small quirks, which might be considered for incremental improvement.

Some such quirks are as follows:

  • No option for keeping completed tasks displayed in main view.

  • Tasks with unassigned priority are ranked lower than tasks with priority assigned as low.

  • Search and synchronize functionality both not available except through sidebar being open.

  • Awkward and confusing "Note" box above main task list.

  • No support for consolidated list of all tasks from all sources and projects.

  • No support for setting start time of task, or even for viewing it as set by other applications.

  • Markdown formatting not rendered in titles.

  • Markdown rendering quirky and nonstandard (e.g. theme separator, indicated in Markdown by a line containing three successive hyphens or asterisks, is interpreted rather as to cause center justification of text).

  • Drag-and-drop for add button leaves artifacts after released (presented as empty and highlighted list entries).

  • Absent of broken implementation for dragging floating button over existing item to create a new item as child.

  • When task is expanded in list, the checkbox is shifted toward the left, implying a lower depth, such that the item appears as a child of its predecessor, not the next item at the same level.

    A clearer formatting would keep the checkbox and task title outside of the expansion box showing the task details.
