Notes from the workshop.
Design decisions, usage stories and what's coming in Floatask.
Why Floatask is different
We've spent years using task managers that force us to classify before we jot anything down. Floatask flips the contract: note it however it comes out, classify when you can (or never).
The day we removed the labels
We started with the classic set of tags, priorities, projects, areas. Users never touched them. We removed them. Here's what happened.
Capture without thinking: the 4-second habit
The mental cost of opening an app and starting to write has to be zero. How we measure the seconds it takes to get an idea out of your head, and why we care so much.
E-ink aesthetics: reading a screen for hours
Newsreader typography, an ink-on-paper palette, no garish colors. Why Floatask looks more like a notebook than a productivity app.
Sharing without giving up control: the subscription model
No emails, no invitations, no links that leak. You generate a short ID, hand it to whoever you want, and revoke it in one click. How we think about pure opt-in sharing.
What's coming in the next version
A full-screen notes editor with Markdown preview, a kanban with horizontal scroll on mobile, and a first step toward recurrences. Here's what we're working on.
