so the creators of vunderlist have been hard at work on a brand new application it's called
superlist and it's arguably one of the most hyped to-do list applications set to be released in the
coming months or year today we're going to give you an overview of what we know about superlist
right now and whether it's worth the hype and weight so if you're new here welcome my name is
francesco i'm the host of keep productive and if you fancy subscribing for more feel free to hit
the subscribe button and we've got a brand new course out called the bento methodology course
if you fancy checking that out so yeah it was actually google i o around the google i o time
that one of my good friends robin said to me oh superlist posted a video over on their google i o
flutter account um just announcing that they're using this platform to create it and hinting
obviously at how it's being built so i went over to that video and i watched it and i was like
wow this is a pretty cool application so super listed trying something a little bit different
that's not really being done in the productivity market obviously there's sort of two extremes of
this there's a personal to-do list and like notion a full workspace and superlist are trying to hit
that middle ground spot the one where you're collaborating on tasks but you're not going
into that full depth that you would when you're building notion pages and databases and stuff like
that it's quite an interesting and novel approach to it so superlist had been developing this
and i've watched a few of the clips which i'll show on screen now of the platform and i would say
it's broken down into a few parts the first is my tasks which is an area where you can manage your
own tasks pretty much what it says on the tin and by the looks of it they've got a mac application
ready with an android and ios one that they're going to be launching but the my tasks area
helps you to manage your core tasks and what your team have assigned you one thing that's a little
bit different about this experience is if they've got an area called asks so basically i'm assuming
that asks is is like an invite to a task where you another team member might send you an invite to a
task but traditional to do this applications might just accept that and put it on your to-do list
but asks is basically an area where you can filter through that and narrow down your decisions by the
looks of it inside of superlist you'll be able to add assignments to tasks due dates and labels
and i love how they've approached the mobile application where once you open the superlist
app you'll see this lovely good morning assuming that this is the version they go with i love this
sort of warm welcome approach to a brand new day and what is on your list now they've actually
called something inside this called the super editor and it's a platform part of the experience
that you can manage and collaborate in real time they call it multiplayer collaboration this helps
you to create pages or sort of micro pages where you can take notes but also start assigning and
making lists for your teams to collaborate then obviously they'll be assigned to the different
areas like all lists asks and my tasks helping you to coordinate your tasks all together and what
your team are working on in real time inside of this i also noticed they have a find bar it looks
like it's going to be more of a command center for managing this and they look like they've got all
the filtering abilities as well they do state on a website it's going to be cross-platform
ios android mac and windows available on all major devices which is super news super list and a few
of the things i spotted on the website they did say that a calendar mode is coming soon so they
look like they continue to expand on their feature set pre-launch now this sort of application is is
personally really interesting to me because it's that dissection between really taking a team and
managing them past just the traditional to do this application like todoist but not taking it
further than an app say like notion where you go much more advanced in your collective planning so
i really like to see how this application do does to do and what they will be planning in the future
you can really tell watching this application um in some of the videos how similar their
design approach has been to the likes of vandalist it's really beautiful even the small things like
opening up the application and how they've done that and i particularly like how well
they've built the just a general structure of it of managing your tasks but also those notes pages
and the mac menu bar for being able to add tasks um really up there without having to go into the
full application so attention to detail seems like a really big thing and we can tell when we know
that from the fact that they're vulnerable well they are or were thunder list so you can tell that
the quality is there with the application so folks let me know what your thoughts are on superlist an
interesting approach to team to-do lists we'll see how well it does and i'll try and get some
access to it maybe do like a pre-beta review um so if any of the team are watching hit me up
sort me out with something anyway folks i hope you enjoyed this video if you're new hit subscribe
it'd be amazing to have you we do reviews like this and uh we'll be soon i don't also i don't
know why i'm holding the microphone like this but i feel like it's partially like news recordery
um i'm an absolute state anyway folks i hope to see you soon thank you very much and cheerio
you
