Feature Suggestions

[ghost]

Hello, I recently saw Purple Task today and started using it. It has a great concept and I thought I'd might share some suggestions:

• More color choices
• Sub-Tasks
• Task Progress bar animation
• Sounds for task completion?
• Adding Due Date Features?
• Drag and Drop

You don't have to add any of these features at all, it's just my opinion :) Thanks, RubyGirl

Hi @RubyGirl777 Sorry for late reply.

1. More color choices. That's doable but I thought 19 colors would be enough. What extra colors do you propose?
2. Sub-Tasks. That's good idea. I thought about it but I believe there are lots of apps which do that very well already. My app was suppose to be just a simple one. But maybe I'll implement it sometime in future.
3. Task Progress bar animation That's on my ToDo list :-)
4. Sounds for task completion I can try to add the sound but as an option.
5. Adding Due Date Features Same as in point 2. I believe there are apps which do this already.
6. Drag and Drop Do you mean dragging tasks to put them in a different order? If yes, I'm thinking of implementing this at some point.

Thank you very much for this nice piece of software! Here are my suggestions for further improvement:

• Purple Task seems to be heavily focused right now on mobile devices. It would be nice if there would be a better support for Desktop in the future. For example the tiles are all aligned next to each other and not aligned in e.g. squares. Also it is not possible to switch between the tiles with the arrow keys (you have to use your mouse).
• It would be nice if categories and tasks would be searchable.
• It would be nice if there would be some information about when an already completed task has been completed.
• It would be nice if there would be support for recurring tasks (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)
• It would be nice to be able to sync between Desktop and Mobile versions of Purple Task.
• Maybe I am overlooking something but I think right now it is not clear what kind of license you are using for this piece of software (e.g. GPL-3.0, MIT, etc.). Setting an (open source) license would help other people getting involved in developing features for Purple Task.

Hope this helps a bit. Have a great day!

Hi @Dinock, Thanks for your suggestions.

The license is MIT. It's mentioned on Snapcraft page for the app: https://snapcraft.io/purple-task I guess I need to also add this info to the code.

Navigation within the app using keyboard is possible but there's this Flutter bug which prevents it at the moment. Currently you have to switch off both CapsLock and NumLock to be able to use the app without a mouse.

As of the rest of your suggestions, I'll see what I can do. I created the app just to learn a bit of Flutter. There's already a number of great ToDo apps (for example Todoist ) which have all those features and more.

Hi @mivoligo thanks for the response, For the extra colors I was thinking you could use light pastel colors or gradients. Thank you so much for responding to my suggestion I really appreciate that 💯 .

@RubyGirl777 If you want to create PR for this, the colors are formatted like this: 0xff000000 (black), so before the hex value of a color we need 0xff

@mivoligo Thanks, I'll reopen the pull request I made 7 hours ago.

Hi @Dinock and @RubyGirl777 I've just released version 1.1.0. It's available in latest/candidate channel in the snap store.

Keyboard navigation should work now as the bug in Flutter has been fixed. Information when a task was completed is added. Obviously it's not going to work for tasks which were completed in the first version of the app. More color choices added. Task Progress bar animation should work now. I also added Settings and About app pages. I'll try to work on the rest of your requests soon.
