Task Inbox
narek
Taskade needs a task inbox. It can help with a few areas:
- Importing Tasks from Other Programs
- Adding Tasks Quickly to Taskade
- Emailing Tasks to Taskade
- Handling One-Off Tasks or Unorganized Tasks
We can add a source icon when we're importing tasks from other programs (Slack, Gmail, Google Tasks, Microsoft To-Do, Trello, etc.)
A task inbox can also speed up quick-add because I won't need to select 4 different options. I won't need to click 8 buttons and instead can quickly click a single one. Quick add should default to adding it to the Task Inbox.
Emails can also be imported to this area as well and then later we can add prompt suggestions for each email. Something like an AI-assisted task inbox. It can run prompts on the task added real quick. This would be very helpful.
Most of the time, we receive emails and have tasks that are a result of these emails.
Also, there isn't a single place for us to place tasks that are one-off tasks. They don't seem to belong within a standalone project and it becomes a hassle to create a one-off tasks in multiple places.

Great addition and I also really like the idea of just a universal main task section with the ability to move tasks from there to any other project and vice versa with the click of a button.

this is essential - a way to quickly capture tasks which can then be moved to a specific folder/project when needed.
speaking of which it would be good to have the option to bulk move task blocks to other folders/projects instead of one at a time

A tab (particularly for mobile) to let the user create daily tasks, especially through a language model. A timer function for daily tasks would be nice, especially if you allow Taskade to create a schedule. The AI features are lacking because of the inability to access the internet like other GPT-4 models. The complicated UI is not necessarily bad, but the lack of a simplified version makes individual-scale task management inefficient. Think: why would I use Taskade for DAILY TASKS over Microsoft's 'To Do', or a pen and paper. The LLM workspace with agents is a nice idea, but I think that utilizing them for daily tasks is nearly impossible when considering convenience.

Inbox area for quick capture

So I use this functionality heavily in other apps I’ve used in the past such as Todoist, TickTick and Things 3. It’s mainly a very useful ways to get thoughts and ideas out of your head and somewhere you can then action and take later. This in Taskade would be awesome!

This is huge! Right now this is keeping me from making Taskade a daily task driver. I want to drop a task in quickly and organize it later. I don't want to have to say when it's due, who is it for, etc.
Natural language would be a great add to this.

Create task list without assigning to project
lmmm
It would be great to have the ability to quickly add everyday tasks to a list without having to necessarily create a project to house that list. An inbox or to-do list for generic everyday tasks that aren’t always catagorized within specific projects.

Create Unorganized Tasks and a Daily Planner for Prioritization

When you're on a call or meeting, you usually write down and take notes on the tasks and action items. You don't create all the independent projects simultaneously and organize while you create.
You'll usually quickly write down all the tasks and action items, then organize them into their respective projects later. Taskade's current setup doesn't address this part of the workflow.
Sure, I can create a separate project for it, but allowing a task to exist independently of a project seems more intuitive. This change wouldn't even break the current data structure either.
Here are a few recordings explaining this feature request:

I have this setup today with a "Inbox" project pinned and starred in my default workspace, in it's home subspace.
I often do end up categorizing things with the quick add to other projects that aren't inbox. When I'm intentionally categorizing something into a specific block and project, I think the quick add is rather good and fast.
When I want to quickly jot something down it'll feel like a bit of friction to do it via quick add if I've recently used it for a different project, because switching back to the area where I "dump everything I'll process later" feels like friction. So to say it another way, I have no problem with the quick-add when I'm categorizing a task on the spot, I think it works as good as it should, and is faster than me capturing it in one place and moving it later if I'm willing to spend the time at that moment to do it.
However, with the Public API, I have been able to write my own integration using DraftsApp which will dump lines on a draft directly to the top of my Inbox project. This ends up being much less friction for me, for dumping lines of text that I can process later. I am thinking of new ways to expand this DraftsApp action, but just being able to add
<p>
, *
, - [ ]
or - [x]
prefixed lines with the public API being exposed has removed this minor annoyance. Now when I do want to spend the time to categorize something on the spot, I'm still not annoyed, when I need to put some lines to look into later, I'll use DraftsApp, which is practical for me.
I would take advantage of this feature, however I would prefer it's like a pre-made project that maybe has a special place within the UX, so it would allow me to continue using the tools I'm building for my own workflow. Maybe it's a special subspace that's named (not a unique id, but is rather based on account) and routed differently, maybe it's always private?(potentially avoiding any pitfalls with having a non-unique subspace name) Maybe there's more than one inbox or "special project" in that subspace?

yolk since your inbox is a project it could lead to accidental completion. An inbox that’s static is a permanent fixture to collect and later review 👍🏻

I understand that in this case it would be:
- tasks,
- comments,
- etc. .
Those coming in the form of Backlog to Inbox.

jack-s: Could you expand more? The feature request focuses more on having an account-specific inbox for unorganized tasks that are cluttered and do not belong to a specific project.
Did you have a different approach in mind? 🤔
jack-s
Narek Zograbian:
Yes, exactly. 👍
A place for a messy task that will be organized in the future 🙂
Just like an e-mail that comes to your mailbox / Inbox and you continue to process it.

jack-s: Would you see this as an account-level feature or something like a workspace-specific feature?
As of now, it seems like it makes sense to treat this like an account-level feature for all random tasks throughout the day and make it simple, easy, and fast to quickly move this task into projects and such.
jack-s
On account-level feature
Narek Zograbian
jack-s: Makes sense. Would you want any other functionality in this inbox?

It could be nice to be able to add task really quickly (from home screen of the app (on mobile especially) or from an inbox)...
Thanks per advance,
Keep up !
