#953: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed
Tag: Resolved

Hello,

It would be great to be able to filter by "date" in the main panel.

I know a) that the left panel provides some of that functionality b) that the main panel can be sorted according to the date ... but neither of those two options retain the outline structure

My two main use cases would be

  • focusing on the tasks due today (and overdue, if any)
  • focusing on the same tasks + those due tomorrow such as 'due today' including overdue, 'due within X days'...

Hi Crystal,

  1. The ability to filter all tasks from the current project would already be helpful (and one that is probably easier to implement as Quire already has filtering capabilities). The trick there would be to either -- select the default values and behavior that would make sense (for instance: "Due today" should include overdue; "Due tomorrow" could be either only due tomorrow OR overdue + due today + due tomorrow; there could be a "Due this week", "Due next week", and/or "Due in the next 7 days"...), and/or
  • make it flexible by asking the user's input (i.e. "Due within X days", with 0 being overdue + due today, 1 being overdue + due today + due tomorrow, and so on)
  1. The extension of that to all projects (a "search" as opposed to a "filter") would be really nice. I like the way Dynalist does it - but I don't know how easy it will be to do something similar in Quire.

+1 to Thomas suggestion!

Hi Crystal, I know that’s possible but then I lose the outline structure (and therefore the task context)

One additional thought: point 2 could be achieved by a combination of 1 + a smart folder covering all organizations and projects.

Hi guys, perhaps you can give us a mockup screenshot of what you have in mind? From what I understand, you would like to 1) filter all tasks from all projects in a single place, and 2) still be able to see tree structure (aka context) of the tasks in this filtered view.

Hey guys! Filtering by Date is now available. 🙌 Please refresh your Quire page first. Kindly let us know if there are any problems!

Hi Tomas, We would suggest “My Tasks” (which shows tasks due today, overdue, tomorrow, etc.) in the left sidebar for such a purpose. You can click on each of the tasks in “My Tasks” and see its “outline structure” (context) in the middle main panel.
