thanks for the comment. We introduced blocks this summer and we've been happy with that decision. It gives a lot of flexibility for future features too.
Getting insights on how many times a task was rescheduled, completed on time, or skipped, could indeed be valuable. Something that we will keep in mind when developing the recurring tasks feature.
Thanks! We do have a couple of similarities to Roam (backlinks, unlinked reference, graph view) but also quite a few things that make us unique.
First, our task management is completely different. Type tasks inside notes and they are available in your kanban/todo-list. You can also drag-and-drop tasks directly to your calendar.
Also, the way we work with blocks is (almost) unique where you can create saved searches to find blocks based on their content.
In short: simplicity, end-to-end encryption, and good design is what separates us from most tools.
I launched the MVP of Organized.ly in Hacker News in January and got a ton of great feedback. Now the product has evolved a lot.
Key features since the last launch:
We now support end-to-end encryption, where we do not store your backup password. When enabled, all your notes and tasks and encrypted on device level.
Note-taking is block based. This allows you to type content with low-friction. For example, you can create a block for a meeting. Type the tag #meetings anywhere in that block. Then, you can list all blocks with that tag, regardless of the parent note.
We've also improved the task management with multi-level subtasks, Kanban boards, calendar integrations to Google and Microsoft, among other improvements. Our goal is to allow you to create tasks with low friction and organize them easily, for example by dragging-and-dropping to your calendar.
thanks for the feedback! The possibility to create shorter blocks makes sense, we will consider implementing that. Also, we are working on an integration to the king.
Thanks for the feedback!
Repeating tasks and more keyboard shortcuts are planned. Makes sense to focus on the title, that's a small thing and will be done soon.
thanks for the feedback! The Today filter filters out tasks that don't have a due date today. If you are on the Today page and click Add new task, the day is automatically set for today. However, if you open the add new task field on another filter page (e.g. Overdue) and navigate to Today, the due date is not updated.
Thanks for the feedack! I do agree, notes are extremely personal. We will be updating the security section in the course of this week. We are also experimenting with end-to-end encryption, that most note-taking tools lack.
Yes, currently the only way to try it out is by creating an account. A live demo with data could help us demonstrate the platform without the need of creating an account, but that is not yet implemented.
1. Note export will be implemented soon. API access is not on the roadmap for now.
2. Yes, we are already testing our desktop apps for windows / mac. Mobile apps will be released within the next 6 months.
Even though there are hundreds of note-taking and to-do apps, I could not find one that combines notes and to-dos properly. I ended up using separate tools for notes and to-do's. Therefore, I decided to create a product that combines the best of both worlds.
A few things make Organizedly stand out:
1. Notes, tasks, and a calendar are tied closely together
2. Drag-and-drop tasks from your todo-list directly to your calendar.
3. You can write todo's inside a note, in a todo-list, or the calendar and it is automatically synced across the board.
4. Queries that show notes dynamically based on their content.
5. Graph view that shows how notes are related to each other. You can traverse the graph by clicking on the notes.
