    1. synchronise with google tasks

      I may well have missed this... anyway, erm... so I use Google tasks since it's inevitably open in my browser, then going to astrid.com is another thing to do. Can't tasks sync with google tasks?

        We currently sync with Google Tasks on the mobile. This will soon be handled by Astrid.com to make this more efficient.

      • Calendar display

        I would like to be able to choose to see my tasks displayed on a calendar so I can drag and drop them to different dates, if I so choose. Thanks!

        • Synchronize notes with astrid.com

          As far as I can see notes are not getting synchronized between the mobile app and astrid.com.

          • Avoid to have "Today" category as default

            Since Astrid is a Task and not a Calendar App, it is extremely unuseful to have "today" as the default visualized category when accessing the web app.

              we’re considering giving users the option to set the default view according to their preferences.

            • sub tasks and/or dependant tasks

              add sub-tasks or a way to link task.
              I may have a task called wash car, but in order to do that I may need to buy more soap, get a new hose or get quarters for the machine. I'd like these to be related , and better yet, to be a sub-task under 'wash car'

                We are figuring out the best way to do this. Right now we are considering giving lists more of a project feel so you can complete the entire list / restart the entire list. We may add some sense of dependency but doing this without making things feel really complicated is the challenge.

              • Allow for multi-selection of tasks in order to apply the same change to each

                I oftentimes find myself wanting to move a cluster of tasks up one day, or change their category or priority. It's cumbersome to have to do it one at a time.

                • Allow the creation of folders that contain sets of lists

                  I use Astrid for many things but one of them is keeping track of things in college. I have one lists for general college related material and I prefix all my classes with my colleges name and a "/" to make it look like a folder tree.

                  • Abillity to assign more than one person to a task, without making it a duplicate

                    Just add the other persons below in the same task, and when ONE person has completed the task it gets completed for everyone.

                    e.g.
                    Task: Set up a new Linux Server
                    People: one, and two. (we want to collaborate or just when any of us has free time to do it)
                    When it is set up, the task will be Completed (to avoid that it will be done twice!)

                    • traffic for syncing is very high

                      Astrid uses a lot of network traffic for syncing!

                      I started a measurement today, total traffic in approx. 8 hours :
                      Astrid 14 MB (keeping about 20 tasks that do not really change a lot)
                      K-9 Mail 0.5 MB ( syncing about 20 Folder and tons of e-mail )

                      This sums up to 14 MB * 3 * 30 = 1.2 GB per month. My provider will throttle my connection after 300MB monthly.

                      Something is really wrong here.
                      I will watch this for one more day. If this continues syncing will be switched off again (reduced it now to syncing… more

                                • PLEASE add subtasks feature to website

                                  Please make the subtasks feature consistent throughout Astrid, meaning that a subtask in one list is a subtask everywhere else. I create subtasks in my Active Tasks list on my phone only to find that the tasks aren't organized accordingly in my Work or Home list. And I can't even create or enjoy subtasks on the website, which is what I use when I'm working on the computer.

                                  • Opt out of Suggested Friends

                                    I started getting this re-occurring "Suggested Friend" pop up on my dashboard. I don't know this person, and I really don't want to be this person's friend. It's a bit creepy, and is the main reason I deleted my Facebook account.
                                    The only person with whom I am sharing my task list is my wife, and I don't need some strange woman's face popping up on my screen saying she wants to be my "friend". Questions will be asked.
                                    Anyway, I cannot find any setting for removing or hiding this feature. Hopefully you can help me make it go away.

                                        Exactly! I love my Do Now custom filter (Importance !!!! or Due today) on our to-do list.

                                      • "hide until" as in app

                                        I would like to have the "hide until" option, like in the app.

                                        • Better syncing

                                          I love astrid, i use it everyday. and now that the website is here and there is an increase of UI improvements it's great, but i have notice on multiple occasions that my tasks would not repeat correctly or disappear entirely. also the web side of astrid does not correctly show the tasks that were supposed to sync. Please Fix This!

                                          • Graphical representation of finished tasks

                                            It would be cool if you could see how many tasks you finished in a certain amount of time in a graphical way.. This, I think, could be a huge motivator :-)
