Project Tasks

I’d like to suggest adding a dedicated tasks feature to support writers at every stage of their project, including planning, drafting, editing, and publishing. At any point in their workflow, users would be able to create contextual tasks tied to what they are working on. For example, while outlining a chapter, a writer might add a task such as “Create supporting backstory for character X.”

Perhaps this feature could exist within the project management section of the application and act as a flexible organisational tool that helps writers keep track of ideas, revisions, and structural needs.

In addition to this, it would be helpful to have an overview area that displays all tasks in one place. This overview could be filtered by options such as priority, completion status, chapter, character, type of task (e.g. world‑building, editing, research), or due date.

Another idea is to allow users to set deadlines for tasks. This could include a simple calendar view so writers can see upcoming deadlines and plan their work more effectively.

Therefore, key capabilities might include:

  • Task prioritisation: users could assign priority levels or visual indicators to tasks so they can easily identify what needs attention first.

  • Task filtering: users could filter tasks by chapter, character, plot thread, location, theme, scene type, deadline, or other project elements so the task list stays relevant to the user’s current focus.

I understand this is a fairly large request and would likely require significant development work, but I believe it would add meaningful value to the writing experience by helping users stay organised, maintain momentum and remember what they were last doing (or needs doing next) if they step away from a project for a period of time.
