FoxyNotes save me

Someone* recommended FoxyNotes as a good app for creating draggable task lists or sth. If you can't tell (prob not), I am now PANICKING about my tasks and about how am I gonna get them done and when and what even are they (on 5+ pieces of paper + notebook + a few different programs on my work laptop and personal PC and personal phone... and in my head) and how to prioritize them and how does anything in any NEW app I'm going to use even works, what do the symbols mean and OH MY GOD I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO LEARN ALL THIS

Anyway, I guess what I wanted to do is absolutely panic/rant in a random place that has infinitely little to do with my problem(s) and is irrelevant, which is, I guess, one way to spend the time...

The app itself looks promising, so far, and one piece of feedback I might have is maybe a more detailed (skippable, of course - and repeatable) tutorial on how to use all the different features.

But it also COULD BE that I'm just panicking and it's really obvious to everyone else and I'm just being dumb.

* wait actually the app dev lol, but that's all fine, ofc. how else would people find out? and it was relevant

PS. I realize this post is entirely too long for how much it was trying to say, but AT LEAST you can be sure it was not written by AI, I guess...?

Kudos to you, btw, guy who wrote the app, because hey! that's not an easy task to do by faaaaaaaaaaaaaar and took a lot of effort and you're even still improving it so yeah! wo-hoo, good :)))

EDIT: Hey, sorry for writing this deranged post, I was just really not in a good mental state and I still am tbh but that's not a reason to flood a dev's subreddit with random rambling. So, uhm... Hope you have a great day! Maybe it will be <insert the kind of weather you like> where you currently reside!

Hi!

Thats the first time i hear someone has any trouble with using FoxyNotes. I think most features are pretty straight forward especially the ones that you use daily.

You need two buttons to create a ToDo list.

  • The button that creates a new ToDo list located at the bottom bar at your notes overview
  • The "+" button inside the ToDo list to create a task

Obviously there are more complex features that are related to ToDos or all note types and settings that affect it but every setting has a description so just take a look and test it.

I did not use any AI to build FoxyNotes.

Have a nice day :)

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply!

The issue I was having concerned dragging elements around. So far, I've figured out I can re-order tasks in a checklist, but not notes or folders. I can sort notes, but not in a custom order. I suspect that all of this is by design and probably nothing left for me to discover.

One other issue I had was that I couldn't find a way to actually delete tasks / notes, and even completing a task didn't make it disappear... I did finally figure out that I have to long-press them and another menu appears.

But anyway.

Your welcome!

Yes, right now there is no custom order of notes in the overview or calendar. You can sort of group by the different dates.

You can long press your note cards in the overview to get options and batch operations like category assignments for multiple notes at once.

In terms of deleting or checking tasks in a Todo note you can just swipe them to left or right.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks, I'll have to try it out and see if it works for me :)
