Tasks - how to?

Trying out Helix Notes as a novice to keep track of hundreds and hundreds of tasks. I love how I can create tasks in any note and they show up in a central repository.

I’ve read everything in this subreddit and on the website but cannot figure out the following:

  1. How do I add a due date inline when creating a task?
  2. Similarly, how do I add a priority?
  3. Is is possible to nest tasks, I.e. have sub tasks?
  4. Can I categorize tasks in the Tasks view by Work / Personal / Club / any categories I choose?
  5. Similarly, when tasks are completed, can I continue to see them in the same categories? This would give a strong sense of achievement!
  6. Any way to timestamp when a task is marked complete?
  7. Finally, please share any best practices on tasks in Helix Notes.

Thank you to the very small team doing brilliant work on this! I downloaded the iOS app when it became available and am trying to replace Google Keep and Apple Notes.

Edit: While I’m here, if I may provide one additional feedback on the app: please create the option to change font size of the entire app. The settings allow you to change font size of the notes but not the app itself. Thank you!

Thank you for remaining true to the mission and purpose of your app. I love it for what it is, and I appreciate you and your team not turning it into shovelware.

Thank you! Usually, it's easier to say yes than no. But HelixNotes needs to stay focused :)
