Weekly Update: May 31, 2024
Added:
Improved:
- Using the keyboard shortcut to add a task should reflect the date you currently have scrolled into view.
Fixed:
- Fixed an issue with Asana pagination buttons not showing
- Fix a bug that caused teammates' Todoist tasks to show in your Today and Inbox view
- Fixed a bug that caused changing timezones to timeout and then tasks to show on the wrong day
When Sunsama first launched, there was no daily planning routine. There was no focus mode. No single day view. No weekly planning or review. Each of these different workflow "views" was tacked on to the original version, which just showed your tasks in the center and your calendar on the right. Over time, this has made navigating between different views in the app a clunky affair, since the original navigation design had no natural place for these other views.
We decided it was time for a redesign.
Navigation 2.0
The new design gives priority to navigating the different workflow views, and room for more workflows to be added down the road:
- "Home": the original view. A kanban board (or calendar view) with multiple days worth of tasks shown at once.
- "Focus": single task view. For when you're actively working on something.
- "Daily planning": for when you're planning your day.
- "Daily task list": single day view. For when you've planned your day and you're working through your list.
- "Daily shutdown": for when you've finished your work and are shutting down for the day.
- "Weekly planning": for when you're planning the week ahead.
- "Weekly review": for when you're reflecting on the past week.
Where did the old navigation go?
Everything that used to be accessible via the left panel still exists. They've all just been tucked into the top navigation bar in the new design to make better use of the space.
How to change the date?
Click where it says "Today" to bring up the calendar date picker.
How to swap between channels?
Click where it says "Filter" to bring up the channel picker. Or, even better, use the keyboard shortcut "Shift + F" to save a click.
How to show teammates?
Click where it says "Filter", and click on the last item in the dropdown that appears, "Filter tasks by teammate".
How to select different calendars?
Click where it says "Calendars" above the calendar panel to bring up the calendar picker.

If you're feeling lost or curious, here's a full walkthrough of how to use the new design, and where everything from the original design has moved to:

Weekly Update: April 5, 2024
Updates on recent outages
Two weeks ago, Friday March 29, Sunsama experienced a major outage. You may have seen your tasks not load in or only partially load in during this outage.
We noticed the issue a few minutes after it began and starting upgrading our infrastructure immediately to counteract this issue. The issue was resolved a few hours later.
The following Monday, we experienced a similar issue for a small subset of power users, which we fixed again in with a few hours.
We've identified and patched the root cause of the performance issues from both incidents now.
We're extremely sorry about the brief outage and appreciate everyone's patience and compassion as we worked to get it resolved 🙏🏽
Added:
- Use >in the add task modal to add a subtask/merge a task during task creation. For more info, check out this post.
Improved:
- It's now possible to merge a task into a task that has been timeboxed to the calendar.
- Task keyboard shortcuts have been organized into more sections.
- Tasks linked to objectives are highlighted in green in the objective card when the task is complete.
Fixed:
- Todoist tasks with URLs copied from their mobile app are now detected correctly for importing them.
- When creating a task with a channel or context selected, set the channel of the task to the currently selected channel instead of the AI recommended value.
- Fixed an issue that made shortcut G not open Outlook emails in the email client.
- Fixed an issue that showed the wrong list of channels when creating a task via Slack.
- Fixed an issue that allowed users to auto-schedule a task that was from a meeting already on the calendar.
- Fixed an issue that caused recurring tasks to expire and not show in the kanban in cases where they had been timeboxed to the calendar on a day where there was another instance of that task already.
- Fixed channel filtering for the archive panel.
- Make focus mode keyboard shortcut honor preference about default vs pomodoro view.
- Fixed an issue with timeboxed event showing at the wrong time if your Outlook timezone is set to "Mountain Standard Time (Mexico)" e.g. Mazatlan.
You can now create a new subtask via the add task modal using keyboard shortcut
>
during task creation. While creating your new task in the modal, simply type
>
to bring up a list of parent tasks to merge into. When you create the task, this new task will have been added as a subtask of that parent task you selected. Here's a video demo:
Over the past couple of weeks, we've heard from a lot of you about issues with the mobile app's synchronization and refresh. We've worked diligently over the past couple weeks to try and resolve every single report we've gotten. We are fairly confident that these sync issues have now been resolved. Just make sure to install the latest version of our mobile app!
👋 If you are still running into any issues with synchronization, please drop us a note at support@sunsama.com so we can look into your specific issue and get that fixed for you.
We're very sorry that the sync was on the fritz for a couple weeks and appreciate all of you that reached out alerting us of the issues.
