ðŸ§Â Plan your day (beta feature)
|
You can already plan your month and week in a lightweight way in Compass Calendar. Now you can also plan your …. day! *John Cena entrance music* It’s a task list next to your agenda. Pretty straightforward, but don’t underestimate the power of simplicity. Showing one day’s worth of tasks/events will help you turn off that monkey brain and lock in on what you need to do today. We also added shortcuts to help manage the tasks, which will keep your mind focused and your hands away from the mouse (ew). To use this feature, you’ll need to opt in to the beta program, which just takes two clicks. I walk through the feature and the beta program in this super serious 36-second video 👇 One caveat: Day tasks are currently stored in your browser, which means if you clear your browser history, they’ll disappear. This is the price of bleeding-edge tek. We’ll be storing tasks in our cloud DB with daily backups once we release this feature out of beta. (Events and weekly/monthly tasks are already stored in the DB.) Try it out and LMK what you think!
PS. Shoutout to our latest contributor: @PatrikH-01. Thank you all for making Compass better 🫡 |

PART I: PRODUCT Compass Calendar got a lot better last month. Simpler. Compass used to have tasks, someday events, and regular events. Almost no one used the first two, so they had to go. Now it’s all about events, baby. Compass Calendar is finally at peace with being … a calendar. Sub-calendars. ALL your events from ONE google account are finally visible in Compass. Type A users with a separate calendar for each side project rejoice. Light theme. An inky, calm alternative to dark default....
