[Feature request] Grouping and Batch-adding

Open Multowz opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hello! I really like the idea behind of this app and I really enjoy using it. I love it's being simple and minimal but I think it's so simple that lack of some features that probably needed.

  • I have a lot of counters and sometimes it's hard for me to find the counter I look for. What about adding a tagging/grouping feature? Grouping the apple/orange/banana number I eat under a "Fruits" would be a cool feature.

  • Sometimes a lot of taps are required. For example, having a counter for money spent per day: an option for entering number from keyboard and adding it to counter would be good for this scenario.

Thank you so much.

I do like the idea of tagging, but what I currently do is separate different sections of my list of counters with a colored one so that when I'm scrolling quickly I know kind of where I'm at.

As for the manual input, a workaround that you could do would be to have the counter represent $5 increments or whatever. If you wanted to be more precise, you could have another counter right next to it that represents one dollar increments, so you could press that a few times as well. However, I do like your idea.

Batch-adding – yes, please! Very useful for quickly adding numerous pre-counted items (like 32 apples). Saves time, reduces error. I'd suggest long-pressing +/– buttons for activating batch-adding input. Currently, this activates the calendar, which is IMHO a less frequently used feature.
