List menu not handy? Improved again!

Improvement of list menu in Doit.im for iPhone and Android

"Why is the list menu presented in different ways on iPhone and Android?" Some of our users asked. The answer is, they’ll be soon the same. It is just because we had made improvements on Android test version a bit earlier than we did on our iPhone version. Please wait for the new list menu on iPhone version!

The list menu of Doit.im has gone through changes twice during V5 of both iPhone version and Android version (beta). We’d like to briefly share with you our reasons and the process.

1. Left column

At the very beginning, the list menu was simply presented as left column, which could be called out by being swiped right.

The advantage was that all the list names were clear at a glance. But there was no highlight on the key lists, for which it would cost our users several seconds to search through the long menu even though they were familiar with it.

2. Key menu at bottom + Dropdown menu on top

That's why we picked out the frequently-used list names and put them at the bottom bar, which include "Collect / Focus", "Projects / Contexts / Goals / Filters", while the seldom-used ones such as "Waiting", "Completed", "Trash" are placed at the dropdown menu on top. And in order to deduct the left column, we also put "Me" (mainly about Settings) at the bottom.

The modification made it convenient to show the key lists like "Inbox", "Today", "Projects", "Contexts". And it looks better when “Calendar" was also added at bottom bar. Compared with the previous version, this one gave more prominence to the key points, and the Calendar set in this place has received a considerable amount of applause.

3. Key menu focused + Left column simplified 

Then, some wondered, Where is "Completed" list? Can I see "Today“ list each time I enter the app? And some complained the dropdown menu on top which was too far away to tap, or it was a waste that "Me" (mainly about Settings) took the important position.

With these questions haunting in our minds, we gave reconsideration to the layout of the main menu, and summed up the points to be improved: a. The frequently-used menu needed to be recognized at a glance, rather than having to be switched from one to another. b. The seldom-used menu was hided too deeply. Make it easy to view. c. Consider more on operation distance, especially for those who are used to one-handed operation.

Through the new round of design based on the above thinking, we conceived our third version of the list menu: the combination of left column and key menu.

The key menu at the bottom just shows the list names that are of great importance to the majority, "Inbox", "Today", "Calendar", "Projects", "Contexts". You may view any of them at a single glance and tap them handily instead of switching between. Meanwhile, the left column is launched again without showing the key menu so as to appear clearer. You may now call out the left column by either swiping right from the left side or tapping the menu icon at upper left. And the previously far-away dropdown menu on top has been removed.

The list menu of this version has solved all the problems reflected above. Moreover, we'll add feature to customize the bottom menu so that you may choose your own key lists.

This new version on iPhone is almost there. Please stay tuned!

Announcing our Development Plan for the First Half of 2017

A lebanese user of ours once sent us a sincere mail, saying,

There is some magic behind Doit.im which makes us all return to it…I’m not concerned about the product new update as I'm concerned about the lack of "continuous updates”...I'll be happy to send some money to Doit for support so please let me know if you need help. Also after you update the App with improvements make sure to raise the cost for the subscription a bit.

That makes us feel warm. Though the words contain a little bit complaint because of our lack of major update during the previous year, I still feel we’ve been understood and trusted. More importantly, what he asked are just the direction we’ve set for ourselves. Also from the words of many other users, I see the same strength and love. Faced up with all these trust and understanding, we will make double efforts and continuous updates so that you may touch our amiable existence. For the first time in 2017, we are here releasing our general development plans:

1. A general new version of iPhone, Android is to be released first, which is just the one we’ve been testing on. (Here is the test version application.) For better user experience, our development engineers have almost rewritten the whole app. Surely there are still imperfections, which we’ve been modifying. On publication, it can be guaranteed to be a clearly laid-out, well-functioned version with various aspects improved.

2. The second version will also be for phones, focusing on pomodoro estimation. Since pomodoro estimation is a new concept, we will not release it mixing with other features, so that our users won’t be caught unawares. So for this version, pomodoro estimation will be the key.

3. The third version of phones will be added the feature of calendar. We may spend some more time on calendar because calendar-related viewing and editing would be totally different from the way lists are presented. Thus, calendar is the most crucial part in the third version.

4. Then continues the phone version, with various features optimized, as the fourth version.

5. Next comes Web and desktop — Mac/Windows version. It has been planned to improve the Web version first, also with a calendar to be added. But the final decision on which platform and which feature takes the priority depends on the newly raised needs from our users and our further assessment on each feature. Each piece of our users’ needs would be put in our Need Pool, from which we ponder over the needs before making each new development plan and pick certain ones into the new version development based on priority.

In Doit.im, you’re the protagonist!

About Goals:

Any outcome that's going to require more than one item, in some sequence of tasks and projects in order to be able to achieve that outcome, that's a goal. Both tasks and projects can be assigned to a goal. Once added to a goal, tasks will go to Next by default. You can see all tasks/projects included the goal when you unfold it. In addition, you can complete all tasks/projects by completing the goal they belong to.

 at the top right corner.

In the page that comes up, you can add a new goal.

Besides, you can create a new goal on the page titled "Located in" by long pressing a task/a project and selecting "Move to".

2. Long press a goal on the page titled "Goals" and you can either edit or delete it.

  And if there are still uncompleted tasks/projects under the goal, you will get a hint when you delete the goal.

3. To assign a goal to a task/project, long press the task/project on the list and select "Move to" to move it to the targeted goal.

4. To remove a goal from a task/project, long press the task/project to move it to "Unset".

In Doit.im, subtasks are a simple to-do list added under a task, which can describe the detailed steps that you do a task like the steps to make a cake, or make a record of the bill of materials like a shopping list.
