I need to be able to do a brain dump but the backlog is only useful for a list of unrelated tasks I'm not ready to schedule. If I'm brainstorming action items for a project, I'd like to be able to organize the tasks in the backlog under project headers. I had to create a todoist account just to do this. I'd much prefer to do it in Sunsama.

This would really, really help Sunsama become more robust for me -- I could drop Todoist altogether and focus here. It would still be primarily a daily planner, but having just this little bit of added functionality would help it not feel like an 'added' task application but instead a full replacement that still integrates calendar, teams, gmail, etc. Thank you!

If the Kanban style will be implemented, I hope it is considered to be switchable. Maybe not everyone want this updraged view of the daily tasks.

Couldn't agree more

I really miss the feature inside Sunsama to organize tasks into different time horizons (this week, next week, the next two weeks, this month, next quarter, this year, etc). Planning beyond one week is really difficult within Sunsama's native interface. For example just scheduling a task to for example to a friday in two weeks is not always what you want. This task will be "hidden" and not easy to recover.

I believe this can be a game-changing feature for Sunsama.

(For inspiration the Sunsama UI/UX team could check out Timestripe - their approach is quite good and with Sunsama's amazing UI it would be a killer app.)

I can certainly understand and respect the desire for Sunsama to focus on its core function of planning and organizing work over the short term. That said, it does have the ability to be used as a "catch-all" with the keyboard shortcut on the desktop app to add tasks from anywhere.

My personal use case does not require a robust project manager outside of Sunsama, but some way to organize the backlog would be super useful for the work that I'm planning on tackling in the future. The best I can do now is the disciplined use of the channels and contexts. Even a kanban layout sorted by channel/context would be an improvement. I can dump everything in the backlog, sort in the correct context, then, within that context, loosely prioritize with dragging and dropping.

I don't care much for the kanban but I'd love to see a simple implementation of projects. We can already tie tasks together using the weekly priorities but there's no real way of grouping tasks together and track how a project is progressing. Even if we could just assign multiple channels (the same like tags) I could use one for context (e.g. #development) and another one for the project.

That way it would be easier to keep on top of backlog.

Curious if this Kanban board concept is on the roadmap?

I've tried using Todoist with Sunsama but too unwieldy (and seems inefficent to have to use two tools).

Only 2 things Todoist gives me that Sunsama doesn't is:

(1) the ability to look at tasks by category in columns so I can scan across to see highest priority items and decide what category to tackle next, and

(2) the ability to add a priority for auto sorting from top to bottom.

Would love it if both of those features were in Sunsama, so could jettison Todoist and make managing tasks easier.
