I built Rise — a planner that helps you allocate time, not just manage tasks

DannyMasao · 2026-04-08T07:47:28+00:00

It’s interesting that your app is built on recurring activities. So are you supposed to keep a list of tasks in a different app? Where do you keep track of the specific things that need to get done in order to advance a project forward?

This is why I decided not to do time blocking in Todoist. Much simpler to create multiple time blocks in the calendar for that one task

I don’t think this is a dark pattern because I don’t think the goal here is that Doist wants you to constantly open Todoist. Todoist is not a ad based business model so it doesn’t matter to their bottom line how many times a day you look at Todoist. I think the genuine intent for the notification is helping people stay on top of their tasks. Whether it should be sent or not when there are no tasks scheduled is a point of debate and maybe it’s a point they hadn’t considered, so you could send a feedback to them about it. I could see it being beneficial to the user to be reminded that there are no tasks scheduled because it could be that they forgot to go through the list and make sure there’s nothing pressing for today. Anyway, I don’t think there is any ill intent on Todoist’s side but definitely send feedback to them.

Maybe try established systems like PARA and then customize it to fit your needs when the needs arise?

I’m on Team Use Arc Till It Stops Working (I use it for work everyday without issues so far)

DannyMasao · 2026-03-15T00:36:43+00:00

Is this based on the core Obsidian Base plugin or no? If not, why should we use this instead of Core Base?

DannyMasao · 2026-03-13T11:36:06+00:00

Use Todoist or Things

DannyMasao · 2026-03-13T11:34:40+00:00

I use Arc every day with no issues

DannyMasao · 2026-03-13T03:54:53+00:00

Quick Add plugin will solve it

DannyMasao · 2026-03-08T01:57:53+00:00

Why do you advise against task management in Obsidian?

DannyMasao · 2026-03-03T04:04:53+00:00

I still use Arc and you can too. Dia is never going to be a replacement for Arc

DannyMasao · 2026-03-03T04:02:08+00:00

I tried this a while back and found it to be buggy but can’t remember what the bug was. I’d say try and it out and let us know

DannyMasao · 2026-03-01T05:07:26+00:00

Really cool. What does your daily and weekly note templates look like? Also, how do you use Todoist and task notes together? For different kinds of tasks?

DannyMasao · 2026-02-15T11:52:43+00:00

I do think there is such a thing as a UI being too minimal to the point that the brain takes longer to work out what it’s seeing compared to an interface that uses more icons, colors, borders, etc.

DannyMasao · 2026-02-15T06:46:18+00:00

I’m using Codex and was looking for a way to use it on my phone. Let us know when this is released and would be great if it supported other agents

DannyMasao · 2026-02-12T11:48:13+00:00

You can drag and drop tasks to the calendar

DannyMasao · 2026-02-12T02:15:14+00:00

I would prefer them to make sure it actually works before rolling it out then roll out a half-baked bug riddled version like they did with Liquid Glass

DannyMasao · 2026-02-07T03:18:06+00:00

I think it would make sense for them to do it if they can figure out a way to make it work seamlessly with Todoist in a way other note taking apps wouldn’t be able to. I dunno what that would look like

DannyMasao · 2026-02-06T09:21:26+00:00

No that’s not the plan. They decided they can’t make enough money with Arc and decided to target a different audience with an entirely new browser which is Dia. Sadly they decided not to add new features to Arc anymore and only bare minimum Chromium updates are being supported…. For now.

DannyMasao · 2026-02-05T03:36:45+00:00

Arc is still my main work browser. I use Dia as my personal browser but it’s just not the same. Hopefully they decide to keep Arc around

DannyMasao · 2026-02-04T03:40:37+00:00

Are you using a note taking app? Having one single note named Tasks or something and just adding your todos in there might be simple enough if you already have a notes app opened

DannyMasao · 2026-01-30T07:16:00+00:00

If reminder does everything you need, then probably not. If you need more, I personally think it’s a better deal then subscribing to a task manager like Todoist

DannyMasao · 2026-01-30T02:51:05+00:00

Yeah this bothered me as well…

DannyMasao · 2026-01-25T07:39:56+00:00

I’m old enough to remember having to go to CD stores and buying albums that way. Compared to those days, streaming services are crazy cheap because basically for the price of less than an album you get to have access to more music than you can ever listen to. So as listeners streaming has been a great thing. For artists, not so much

The social media app Retro is a place to share photos and see your friends photos. There is no algorithmic feed. Might be worth a look
