Thanks for Everdo, I greatly appreciate it and have tried many of these types of applications over the (many) years and this is my favourite and have been using it now since just after it came out, or thereabouts.
My question is about the “Next” list feature. I have a few Projects and I use the “Next” feature on a regular basis. The Next feature is when the item is at the top of a Project list and it gets added to “Next list” automatically. The issue is that the item gets added to the bottom of the “Next” list instead of the top. So if I’m looking at a Project, and I see the “Next” item is at the top, I wind up prioritizing everything from top to bottom. However, the “Next list” is the opposite because it puts those Next items at the bottom, so you end up having to sort from bottom to top.
Also, when “due” items appear and show up in the “Next” list, they show up at the bottom, as well.
Is this intentional? I’m probably missing something, but is there a way that I can fix this or am I just using it wrong?
When you manually order the Next list, you might expect the top action to remain at the top (because you explicitly put it there). So when another project gains an “unordered” next action, it seems logical for it to go to the very bottom.
I do understand what you are getting at. Maybe it would indeed be more useful to get all “unordered” actions to appear at the top. In fact I personally would probably choose this behavior.
Same problem here. The item you see appearing at the bottom simply has no assigned order in the list, but it must go somewhere. So when originally implementing this I chose to prioritize keeping the top of the list ordered as the user left it.
This behavior could be modified relatively easily, but then I worry about some users complaining that the old behavior is gone.
I’m glad you like Everdo and stuck with it over the years. Thanks for sharing this. If you have a moment, a 5-star rating on App Store / Google Play would help a lot, if you think the app deserves it.
