John Allen's ideas
by Parker · 29 things on Twos
- Would it be possible or even a good idea to provide a way to import notes from Google Keep and Apple Notes and Reminders? I would think that the creation date would transfer and then each paragraph/reminder would be a new thing on that day
- ✓ Archive button
- ✓ Undo/redo button. I just accidentally deleted a thing and now need to retype it.
- ✓ How about a little pencil icon at the top of the list to rearrange the list rather than the current way. As you can tell by the screenshot I elected to have the entire list showing but now the more button seems redundant to only show the edit button
- ✓ A “Collect All” button if more than one set of coins have been earned but not redeemed? I would think this would follow the underlying theme of the app, which is quick and to the point interactions
- ✓ iOS and Android widgets
- ✓ Community creating and submitting templates? I was just thinking about setting one up for my bills (unless someone already has one) and thought others may benefit from it too. 🤔
- ✓ Tags
- What would you think about moving Twos from your servers to personal cloud accounts? I use a different app that does this and it’s very intriguing to me. Basically, the user connects to his/her choice of a cloud service and everything is saved to it rather than the developer’s servers. I know it will be a big undertaking and a lot of work but an idea like that could be a killer in the PKM market because almost no one lets the user own their own data. I don’t know. Is it even doable with the way Twos is developed?
- Beta Feedbck
- Search with regex
- Natural language search i.e. “Todos involving Judy”.
- ✓ Change the done selecting button to the save green button
- Remove color from select actions
- ✓ Move to the top and move to the bottom buttons
- ✓ # quick action to make tagging faster
- What about a quick mode and long form mode? In quick mode the functions of the keyboard and QAB are as they are now but in long form mode the functions change so they are more specific to a long form editor. One of those could be using the return key as a line break rather than a thing break. This, perhaps, could really add a more powerful level to Twos and should certainly be an upgrade.
- Just thought of a unnecessary but funny feature. What if the confetti was somehow siphoned away when we mark a complete todo as uncompleted? So basically taking back the trophy. 😂
- Problem: the struggle of knowing which open sublist button goes with which sublist when in a long list. Idea: when in a long list (say five or more sublists) automatically show the list as table with light alternate shading. This will direct the eye to the proper buttons and information on the right.
- Link previews in comments
- Comment line when sending tips so the recipient knows why the tip
- Kids vacuuming away his insecurities and fears as always
- Feature idea: show the number of likes and comments on in-line with the published/shared pill so we can see it without needing to go to TwosWorld.
- Another idea: create multiple reminders at the same time. Example: if I have tasks that are due at the same time, it would be nice to select those things, and then add a reminder to each of them at the same time instead of needing to do so individually.
- Improvement idea: what do you think about using the OS’ number picker instead of the keyboard when changing the custom “Every number of” interval? (John Allen)
- I second the idea. It could be cumbersome to go through hundreds or thousands of list just to find the one we want to later review. However, going through each list in that way is a great way to resurface older lists.
Another suggestion would be to give it full filter capabilities just like other lists. Besides those, I can see using Tags as a review filter. Perhaps someone has created a Review tag. This would be an easy way for them to actually use the new feature with their current tag method.
- Idea: Custom thing type icons. For example: I use the therefore symbol "∴" often in my notes. How I use it in Twos currently is to make it a note type add the symbol and then space a few times to make the actual note align the preceding things. This, I think, could be implemented in two ways. First, you could set a limit of say five custom types. The issue is what happens to that symbol if the user ever chooses to change it. Does it propagate across the account? Second, and perhaps a better alternative, is a custom picker that would include symbols and emojis. The picker could include anything from the OS and perhaps others that can be added via a hex code like the hex code for the therefore symbol is "∴" Anyway, just some thoughts. ✌
- Idea: Clear all formatting button. Unless I’m unaware of the capability, right now we must manually change each format for a thing if we want it to go back to the normal state. A clear all button would be extremely helpful!
- Good morning! A simple request for consideration. May an auto-sort button be added to the top menu of information menu for all lists as it has been with Days? I’ve really began to utilize the feature more and it would be helpful if it were in the same place across Twos. Taking that feature even further, what about making AutoSort a setting per list/Day (or even globally) that automatically sorts things instead of needing to manually press the auto sort after new things are added?
