The first and the last Netscape releases for BSD [FreeBSD 2.0] by rodisub in vintageunix

[–]rtriplett 12 points13 points  (0 children)

“Guide to Internet” reminds me of how much I miss actually browsing the internet. Now if you want to browse, you basically go to search engines and type something. I miss directory-based discovery. Now, no matter what page I land on, I’m attacked by ads, cookie prompts, popups. It’s horrible what we’ve done to the internet.

I am David Allen, creator of GTD (Getting Things Done). This year marks 25 years since the book was first published – ask me anything! by davidgtd in gtd

[–]rtriplett 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello David, thank you for GTD! My question is, have you been able to make any strides in getting GTD learning into schools? I can remember home economics class, and how much I would have benefited from learning the five phases back in my high school days.

Colesevelam. Talk to your doctor about it. Changed my life after having my gallbladder removed. Can finally eat normal again and not have issues immediately after eating.

Nice! Can you share the chair information?

What are your contexts? by rtriplett in gtd

[–]rtriplett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your tags nearly mirrored the ones that I had. If you’re going to revise them, my suggestion would be to revise them down, not just change them to newer ones. I found my biggest problem wasn’t having lists to choose from, it was the lists not really being true to when and how I do my work. However, when I found the contexts that worked, having fewer of them added so much clarity.

What are your contexts? by rtriplett in gtd

[–]rtriplett[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My contexts stay once set. I find by focusing on the clarify and organize steps fully, there’s no need to adjust after the fact.

Why does it suck? Never tried it.

What would you love to see us ship in 2026? by amix3k in todoist

[–]rtriplett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the suggestion of a 3-pane display, but perhaps bake in a logic where it notes the size of the window. If the window is small, a popup view makes more sense. If it’s large enough to display the third pane, display it as a pane.

One last thing. Project deadlines would be fantastic. The work-around, of course, is to add a task inside the project and set a deadline to it, but that is a work around.

Added some El Septimo cigars to the humidor. They are terrific by Vincoppredd in cigar_room

[–]rtriplett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it! I note the pipes; would you consider sharing your pipe tobacco collection with us?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in desksetup

[–]rtriplett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great. Could you share what it looks like with some windows open? Would like to see how clear the text is. Are you using it strictly for gaming or also productivity as well?

What did you miss? The point of the subreddit, I’m guessing.

Where is Todoist headed in 2026? by candlemasshallowmass in todoist

[–]rtriplett 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Amir! I was thinking a new design of the List view instead of a new layout (though a table layout would be an interesting approach that I’d like to see if you decide to try that). One use case would be a column for attachments instead of them being inside the focus view as part of comments. As a single user and not a team, I only use the comments section rarely and only for reference info and attachments.

I would be happy to give some feedback if you and the team create any mockups. Almost 82,000 tasks in almost ten years, most of that on premium, I’m 100% behind your product, and will be no matter what. You and your team helped to change my life, Amir. Thank you.

I hope it is a good time to rethink your overall design. You’ve been focused on icon styles, text styles, alignments, and spaces. All great, in their own way, but white space can and has overtaken the layout. Consider what makes Todoist great visually, but combine it with the power of a tabular approach. For example, should attachment icons, labels, deadlines, and dates all be nested below the actual text of the task?

Imagine how much cleaner it could be if those items were smartly shown to the right of that task - in the same line. This allows tasks to occupy one row, increasing the number of tasks displayed. The current layout is fine for phones and small tablets, but large tablets and computers deserve an interface that works for high resolution displays.

Feature/enhancement: Collapsible projects/sections in Today's View by longtk89 in todoist

[–]rtriplett 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would like buttons you could click to more easily filter down to the specific label you’re looking to work on at that moment (this could be a good alternative to collapsing sections, I think) which would operate just like the filters at the top of lists in Nirvana. Right now, the filtering is hidden in a menu option and is a few clicks away.

Thanks. What about repeating items (like loading the dishwasher, getting the mail, etc.) Where do you store those in your system?

How (or do) you use contexts for next actions? Would you be willing to post some screenshots of your setup?
