Unfortunately, the new interface rolled out a couple of months ago removed the full-screen “canvas” capability, leaving only the small sidebar as primary access mechanism. Compelling pluses for me include: 1) the Gmail and Calendar integration 2) good keyboard shortcuts, necessary for efficient operation of the tool 3) fast email-to-task conversion 4) optional due dates, with easy sorting by due date. Github has a feature that shows issues as cards on a board, too…Īnyway, happy to know if you find the silver Thanks a lot for taking the time to write up your thoughts! I took a serious look at Google Tasks today.
Trello is my tool for collaborative work. You can’t share Tasks, though, so it’s not a collaboration tool. It has an Android app, which is also good. I have tried Asana, and other, but really the Tasks is really alluringly simple and effective. I used to use Trello, and it has an integration with Gmail, or the cool mail-to-card feature, but I like the simplicity of the Tasks sidebar. Any link you paste in the description is translated into a real link, so it’s a good place to put Google Docs links, Github repos, issues etc… You can do subtasks too. You can add due dates or manually sort (I use the due date, so it forces me to put a date (and time!) ). From the Gmail app, you can drag an email onto the task sidebar and a new task is generated (a lot of new tasks come from emails…) with a link to the email. At the moment, I find tranquility in a single task list using…well, “Tasks” by Google.
