Hello everyone and welcome back to the Keep Productive YouTube channel, it is Francesco here and in today's feature we're looking at todoist
Foundations now this is the beauty of foundations and I'm going to be checking it out today on the iOS
I'm going to be giving you a bit of a tour of my opinions of it
Grabbing a few of your opinions from the Todoist made simple Facebook group
And then what I'm going to do is talk about the potential features, then they will overlay on top of this
So hopefully today you'll be walking away with a better sense of what to do. This will be bringing in their next release
So guys without further ado, let's jump in
Okay guys, so we're over to the laptop
and of course
What I want to do is talk through the todoist iris beta first
Share some of my opinions on what I think
About the latest release now this has been sort of waiting for a while
And when I last chatted with a mere he consistently says that he wants to improve the core
Elements of to do it and that's what this is
This is rebuilding some of the core structures that make up this application
before they start layering brand new features
So the first thing I want to talk about is I guess the general stability and speed
improvements of this application
So one of the first things you notice is the design the design looks really good as you can see on here
It's a bit bigger bit bolder and it also showcases some of the smaller details of each of the tasks
We'll come on to this half details in a bit now
One thing I've noticed from being a long time to do this user is the speed of this application
It is super snappy and super fast and that makes a huge difference
Now I am using this on the iOS
13 and I am using on our iPhone 8 plus but I definitely noticed a difference when I jumped on the test flight version
Everything this was snappier and faster even small things like opening up the 3d touch
I'm going into an tasks loaded fastener and performed better
And the things that I really liked was the actual speed of the Clipper the Clipper has gotten a lot faster
Let me demonstrate to this you so let's say I want to go ahead and share this alien costume for later
If I press todoist it instantly comes up there was a little bit of a lag time previously
maybe two or three seconds and if I press ENTER it
Automatically goes and you can't imagine how much time that saves you when you're trying to clip links?
URLs or even articles maybe even things that someone have send you your copy of placing them into todoist
So let's talk a little bit about the design. I really like this new design
I do have it in dark mode. I tend to turn that on when it comes to October II
So at a time and you can see the new iconography looks fantastic
You can also see that it is a little bit bolder and if I go into new things
I believe the text is slightly larger though moving onto some of the task details
I was very lucky to meet Jeremy or I came out in Israel when I was there and he actually showed me this first version
Showing to me that you can actually see all of these sort of the project the comments amounts and also the time and details
From within this view and I think it was slightly available inside of the previous todoist
But it's really accented in this version, especially with the new
iconography and colors
I
Really like this and the great thing is when you click
Into a task now as you can see if I open up a task
It appears more of a cart
You can go ahead and add labels more details like priority alarm
Reminders or cause your comments and if I click into comments, it goes a little bit deeper
But what I quite like is the ability to have subtasks they look really good. So if I'm like film
todoist video and
Press enter. The subtasks would look really interactive
And if I click out you can see that it's hidden away
Very neatly and that's something that I know a lot of people will like now this card view is something that definitely looks really attractive
In this new todoist. I had a few qualms with it, which I'll probably talk about near the end of this feature
So as you can see here
you also have
The ability to go into next seven Dave you like you did before when you go ahead and add a new task it
Automatically will obviously detect whatever the parameters were set in this case
It was today in inbox, but I'd quite like up this new view it has been available for quite a while
But it is a lot of snappy a lot faster and you can add all of the relevant details without necessarily going out of this
View, which is something that you had before you had to go through several panels to get to some of these experiences
so for example if I want to add a tag if I want to add a priority and
Actually, that's just one extra click
But of course I can add comments but everything seems a lot faster and a lot easier to use
Oh Mike Ronnie actually had some opinions on this he didn't send them to me in a facebook messenger audio I actually
Need to do listen to them
But I believe he was querying about the way that labels sort of obstructions on this application
now if you want my honest opinion guys
I really like this application that some small changes that it's increased the stability of it. It really does make a difference
Now of course speed matters and they're working on the core in this update the foundations
So I do expect them to add more features, which I'll be talking about in a moment
So some of your thoughts I posted in the todoist made simple group
Which you can join in Facebook and Don put back that he loves the section headers now
This is something that you can access inside of a projects area
So for example if I'm like looking at a shopping list
I can go up to the top and create a section now if I total the section say something like
groceries
Or grocery you can see the section header appears in this normal format where you don't actually have to go create it using
exclamation marks or
semicolons it's a lot easier and
Easier to add tasks just below it. And the way that they handle completed tasks is a lot more efficient as well
Now do apologize. I forget your name wrong or off stiff. Laugh Rusty's
Rostislav. He said he loves the ability to add these subtasks and files inside of this application so far
That's a really good experience
I think they made it even stronger and this card for you and I'm really excited to see how Mac and Webb show up and
TJ definitely shares my passion for the iconography the uncomfy looks actually really
Fantastic on the sort of like notable side. Jeanette says, I think they're heading in the right direction
Having said that not being able to see in one glance
which labels are with the task is not handy and this is I think something that Mike Vardy alludes to and whether they will be
additionally adding that or whether
Labels will be sort of
Sectioned off as a less important feature and maybe that's where boards will come into play
Okay, guys, let's see and let's talk a little bit of how this will evolve now
Obviously we know boards are coming and they've been projected to arrive in October 20 19
And I guess this is what majority the foundations here on the application are
Tailored towards the cards view things like that would then make the boards easy to be implemented
Especially the way the subtasks are managed so we can expect that this month and here's a little preview of what they look like
We don't also know whether the calendar view will be available
This is something that Amir was teasing for maybe they will release it with it these two different viewing options
Would open up more opportunity for todoist users
Will they make it so that projects or any view can be changed into a board or calendar like other?
applications that are more project management based will it be easier to be able to
Click to those views without damaging any of the existing tasks. Thanks to this Foundation's update
It's gonna be quite exciting now
One thing I was actually curious out because I'm used to this mainly on web
And mainly on Mac, um is actually the desktop version and how that will look now. I've Omata posted this on Twitter and
Obviously, this is very early versions
But I quite like the way that the card sits
The Carn actually shows all the details of subtasks all the comments in this really nice view
So I'm actually more excited for the desktop version
Then I am the application version. Although all of the sort of little sort of small changes aren't definitely appreciated
So guys a big thank you for stopping by today. I hoped you enjoyed my opinions and saw some of the later updates
Of course, you can join the to do this made simple group
It's growing steadily and we're gonna be talking a lot more about this version
But I think in my opinion to do is heading in there awesome direction
It's building its stability, which is something on the mobile applications
It's struggled with its adding new features
Which hasn't done in a while and everything it needed to and but it's an application that seeing this update
I know that I'm gonna be sticking with this for another two or three years in my opinion
I think that on a really like this application of the task management, and it's really just been building and growing stronger
So guys, thank you for stopping by. Let me know your opinions on turnest in the comments below
I've really important reading them and please do join the Facebook group if you want to learn more about
