This looks promising.

I immediately went in and created a Workspace and then a Space (which I gave the same name because I was unsure what a Workspace is or a Space is), and then added some tasks with subtasks.

Then I went to "Home" and it told me "No assigned tasks".

Okay...can I assign tasks? I don't see a way.

Looking at the roadmap, I see that "assignee" is a TODO, but does that mean the Home will be blank until that's implementing? I don't know!

Also, when I open a task, the subtask list is titled "Empty". It doesn't matter whether there are subtaks entered—it's titled "Empty". I'm not sure why or if there's a way I can make it say something else—not sure what I'd want it to say.

Overall, this looks good, seems easy to use (in the sense of "typing in tasks and subtasks was quick and easy—surprisingly rare in such apps!) and I love that you're building in public this way. I'm not ready to switch to using it, but in some ways it's better than the competitors. Really, the ease at which I could type in and rearrange tasks+subtasks is better than Notion (the worst!), Emery (no subtasks), Amazing Marvin, or Todoist. Get working "inbox"/"timeline" view and "deadlines" (at a subtask level), and I might be ready to pay you money to use it.

Pick from the Essentials column list and add "People" to the task list. Then pick yourself. It'll show up on the homepage.


Ah, yup, thanks!

As a personal TODO app, I would want things to default-assign to myself, but I realize this is meant more of a collaborative app.


Oh, I think "EMPTY" is the lack of a label? But I can't add labels, I also can't mark things as done.

The screenshots seem more "complete". so either I'm missing something or I just don't have access to a lot of the "beta" features.


You have to add a Status Column. There you will be able to add labels. After that you need to group the tasks by that Status.


Ahh, also lets me assign! Thanks!
