11 years ago Too cluttered and the design feels rather natural the way it is now. On Jan 29, 2013 3:53 PM, "abednego" notifications@github.com wrote:

A couple of points first. I don't know how other people feel about it, but when I'm looking at one list, I'm just looking at one list. I don't need to see every list all the time when I'm looking at the page. Thus, I think a more compact design could be created and more utility could be packed into a smaller interface.
I'm no computer artist, so I had to draw this, then scan it in, then use the snippet tool. Yes, I'm a n00b:

A short description of the interface:
At the top you'd have your little dude with the health bar and experience bar. On the far right, I didn't indicate it, but you could put a spot for an advertisement so you could make a few bucks or something. ;)
On the left you'd have a tab control where you could pick "Habits", "Daily", "To-Do's", or "Rewards" (I left rewards off). Within that control you can click a checkbox, or create new items. You should also be able to sort by color, due date, alphabetical, numerical, or what have you.
Under "Detail", you'd have information pertaining to the item you selected on the left control. So if you clicked on/selected an item from your "Habits" list, you would see the History for that item. When it was created, a graph of progress, when the last time was you completed it, etc.
Under "History", I'm thinking the overall history of your progress. Every time you gain experience, buy an item, spend money, created a "Habit" or "To-Do" or whatever, that would go into a scrollable list with links to things where appropriate. So if I created a new "Habit" item "Take your vitamins". It would appear in the "History" list with the date I created it, and a link to take me to the "Habit" control and display the "Detail" on that item with regards to the History of every time I clicked on "Take your vitamins".
(When I refer to "Date", I mean "Date and Time". Very important in this application, I think.)
Anyway, those are my current thoughts on the interface. Maybe I'll draw it up in Visio or something to make it a bit prettier but for now I thought just a simple drawing would be quicker.
What do you guys think? Bad idea? Hard/Impossible to do?
Thanks,

I do that so my dailys list isn't huge. (If there were hidden dailys later on that would allow me to use that instead of combining dailys into one "card" so to speak.

(and yes, I forgot to label the "Experience" bar underneath the "Health" bar, oops)
