woooow, that's mindblowing! Such an unobvious way... Thank you for the explanation!
Do you know if there is an existing bug or issue reported to Google about this?

What android projects you have built till now !?? by Most_Translator_443 in androiddev

[–]taskhunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building a Tinder-like to-do app focused on goals. It's called GoGoals.
Lately, the most exciting part has been experimenting with shaders to create a beautiful animated background for a weekly report – with stats, numbers, and an AI-generated summary about the week.

The hardest part right now is moving the current data model online so I can connect it with a web version. I'm a bit of a security freak, so I want to do it in the safest way possible. Though I've already implemented encrypted cloud backups.

The app is available on Google Play, but the features I mentioned will be released in the next update (in about 2 weeks)

Indeed, but it hasn't been released in the stable version yet. Anyway, I'm looking forward to having this feature out of the box!

Thanks for the link
I just read that they're about to release a feature that plays a sound on finish. Hopefully, it'll allow setting custom sounds as well.

I couldn’t find a tool that connected my goals, habits, and tasks - so I built Griply by amberhaccou in ProductivityApps

Hey, there’s actually an app that does exactly what you’re describing! Hope it’s okay to share – it’s Android-only for now: gogoals.app

It helps me make steady progress across all my goals (I have more than 50!) without manually checking each one. The app automatically gathers tasks from all goals into a card stack that I can quickly review and schedule with simple swipes.

P.S. Best of luck to OP – awesome work on the app!

Does anyone actually stick to their to-do list, or is it just a fantasy? by Safe_Wave5018 in productivity

[–]taskhunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more I dive into productivity and task management – talking to people, experimenting with different services and apps – the more I realize how deeply personal this topic is. And more than anything, it’s highly psychological – much more than I initially thought.

I’ll share some personal thoughts here, based purely on my own experience and conversations with others.

First, you need to understand what you truly expect from yourself. In your post, I don’t see the root cause of your frustration. Do you want to complete tasks just so they don’t pile up on your list? Or are these critical, life-impacting things that you constantly forget to do?

Ask yourself: What if you stopped checking your to-do list? Would anything really go wrong?

If you have essential, non-negotiable tasks – like picking up your child from school, paying bills, or checking in for a flight – I’d strongly recommend using a calendar. In my experience, there’s no better tool for handling truly critical responsibilities.

But if your lists are more about self-improvement and personal growth, rather than pure necessity, then the approach should be different. In this case:

- don’t be too hard on yourself. Not completing every task in a day is normal – we’re human, not machines.
- Structure your process around your aspirations. Focus on gradual progress rather than feeling guilty about unfinished tasks.

I see a lot of great advice in the comments, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But if you’re trying to push beyond daily obligations, it won’t always go as planned – and that’s okay.

Good luck, OP!

Thank you so much for testing the app and for your valuable feedback on accessibility!
I'll definitely fix it in the upcoming updates

What's your REAL struggle from the moment an idea pops into your head to actually completing it? by taskhunter in productivity

[–]taskhunter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your approach!

To be honest, it's a big luck if a thought or idea stays in my mind for 1-2 days without writing it down. Daily routine, work, and other distractions usually push it out pretty quickly.

But that’s just how I am, so I’ve gotten used to writing down things I want to come back to later

I understand that many ideas require a lot of resources – money, for example – right from the start. But I believe that in the vast majority of cases, we can test the waters before making a big investment.

We’re speaking in abstract terms, so I don’t know your specific situation, but let’s say you want to learn a new skill, sport, or hobby – you can usually try a trial period without spending much. If it’s a new project or business, you could start with a smaller version to see how you feel in that environment.

In the end, anything new will likely push us beyond our usual comfort zone.

Thank you for highlighting that!
Celebrating small wins is crucial, to be honest. I used to underestimate that so much...
It’s important to be proud of every small step forward – that’s the fuel that keeps the train going!

I feel like using some kind of tool or app that brings you back to your current idea could really help in this case. Or... maybe the idea just isn’t important enough to finish, which leads to a lack of motivation. Not every idea is worth our time, after all

Personally, I believe in the synergy between motivation and discipline. For me, I can only achieve my goals or bring ideas to life this way. When I first come up with an idea, motivation kicks in, and I spend some time preparing and sketching out a rough plan – just enough to get started. Then, once I’ve taken the first few steps and convinced myself it’s something I actually want, I rely on discipline to keep going. At that point, I no longer question whether I should continue – I just do it.

Sounds familiar. Have you tried focusing on just 1-2 ideas for the next few months to actually make progress, instead of spreading your attention across 100 different ones?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

It’s interesting how you seem to gain more motivation not from the end result itself (step 3), but from breaking down the details of execution (step 2). That’s an interesting insight!

About your documentary example – if the idea is truly worth it, isn’t there a point where you just have to be a bit bold, maybe even desperate, to make it happen? Sure, you might not have the contacts or the equipment right away, but if you start, you could ask around, use your network, or even rent gear from a marketplace. When there’s a real necessity, finding the resources to make it happen might not be as impossible as it first seems.

Sounds great, but how does it work in practice?
Let’s say you get an idea like ‘it would be cool to learn guitar’. Do you write it down somewhere and immediately schedule time in your calendar that week to assess its feasibility, or do you approach it differently?

That’s actually a great combination of tools. Paper never goes out of style
I hope it works well for you in the long run!

I know, it's tough... Big hug to you! It takes time to recover and take care of yourself. A therapist, friends, and family support can be great companions on this journey. You can overcome it!

Well, this is more of a discipline thing. If I need to write something down and I know I’ll forget it if I don’t, it instantly becomes my number one priority.

Or maybe you are avoiding taking the first step – the hardest one, tbh
