DEPLOYED! Finally it took a while to get this one done.
I am glad we have a first version of it, I might come back to it to improve it later.

Thanks for your work.


Am I correct in saying your implementation of recurring tasks only allows a frequency of 'weekly'?

Yes at the moment, you can repeat tasks weekly only.

I'll be back when you add more usable intervals. I don't expect it to be like RTM but weekly only has limited use for me.

Best of luck.

One issue: It recurs on the day of the week it was completed instead of the day of the week it was created. I have tasks that I have to get done every week, and therefore go on my Monday task list. However, it sometimes takes me until Wednesday to get it done, so I move it from Monday to Tuesday to Wednesday. On the following week, it now sits on Wednesday, not Monday.
I now this is the definition of a MINOR inconvenience. After all, all I have to do is click and drag the task on the new week to Monday from Wednesday and, poof, I'm done. But it's one of those things that people who look for things to complain about would complain about, so I figured I'd be a good BETA tester and sound off about it.
One other possible solution: Make Weekly Goals able to recur just like tasks.
Other than that, really like the app. Much better than GQueues, which is what I had been using.

I like WIll's ideas. I too prefer the repetition to be based on the original scheduled day and not based when it was completed. It looks like that only the repeat weekly option is currently available, I am looking forward for more options.

Is this still the case? it would be great to be able to change the frequency on these repeating tasks?

Hello,


I have a daily recurring task which will end at a particular date - but the 'Until' box does not specify the variable I can put in there. I initially put in the date, but that didn't change the recurring task, and it continued on my calendar past that date. Then I put in the number of days it will be lasting, but again it hasn't changed and the task is continuing past the end date. So what exactly am I supposed to put into 'Until' and how can I stop the task from recurring past a certain date?


Thanks

hi 


I have been having issues with the app. Everytime that I write a task , the number 1! adds next to it and the more I move it or I do to that task the more the number keeps adding next to it:

 for example---pay phone 1!1!1!1!1!


Also when I move task from one day to another or from important to none important it moves back to where it was before.  Sometimes I have to repeat this 3-4 times..help please!! It's getting very frustrating and time consuming 🙏

Hi, 


Thank you for bringing this to our attention.


May we request for a screenshot of the error message you are getting when editing a task? 


Also, please advise which browser you are using with the web app when you encountered these errors.


Thank you for your patience. We'll wait for your response.
