Kanban/Project Style Backlog
Rodrigo Paiva
A Kanban view can help me focus only on Sunsama and leave Notion task management. Having it can be a moat against Notion Calendar, which should integrate both calendar and task management into one ecosystem (Notion). Having a slightly better task management with a kanban view and swimming lanes can reinforce your value prop and raise competitive advantage over Morgen, Routine, and Motion. Having this would bring me back to Sunsama.

1000% yes

I understand that Sunsama does not want to replace project management software, but tbh... it is a pain in the ass to integrate other PM software and keep 2 systems up to date.
It would be so much more convenient if I could create projects within Sunsama and backlog tasks under those - then set dates for them & drag into my tasklist/calendar when the time is right.
Currently, the Backlog is really a graveyard of Someday/Maybe tasks that I never look into because it is non-functional as I am using a real project management software to backlog tasks.
The main function of Sunsama for me is still the Drag and drop daily timeboxing, but it would be SUCH an upgrade if I could plan tasks over longer horizons & separate them based on Project.

Boris Ümarik Yes!!!!!! that would be amazing.

I need to be able to do a brain dump but the backlog is only useful for a list of unrelated tasks I'm not ready to schedule. If I'm brainstorming action items for a project, I'd like to be able to organize the tasks in the backlog under project headers. I had to create a todoist account just to do this. I'd much prefer to do it in Sunsama.

This would really, really help Sunsama become more robust for me -- I could drop Todoist altogether and focus here. It would still be primarily a daily planner, but having just this little bit of added functionality would help it not feel like an 'added' task application but instead a full replacement that still integrates calendar, teams, gmail, etc. Thank you!

If the Kanban style will be implemented, I hope it is considered to be switchable. Maybe not everyone want this updraged view of the daily tasks.

I really miss the feature inside Sunsama to organize tasks into different time horizons (this week, next week, the next two weeks, this month, next quarter, this year, etc). Planning beyond one week is really difficult within Sunsama's native interface. For example just scheduling a task to for example to a friday in two weeks is not always what you want. This task will be "hidden" and not easy to recover.
I believe this can be a game-changing feature for Sunsama.
(For inspiration the Sunsama UI/UX team could check out Timestripe - their approach is quite good and with Sunsama's amazing UI it would be a killer app.)

Peter Harbour: Couldn’t agree more! The app Routine does this very well, allowing one to generally batch tasks by week if not ready to assign a specific day (as opposed to loading all postponements to Monday). Sunsama is wonderful for daily and weekly planning but falls off sharply from there right now. So glad this is being discussed!

Dodge Rea: I was just checking status on this.
A shame there has been no traction on this - almost a year ago.
I believe that being able to plan tasks inside of Sunsama in different time horizons / time zones like this week, next week, this month, next month, long term/on hold is such a fundamental feature .
Sunsama’s UI is great when it comes to daily and weekly (this week) planning.
It has ever since I started using Sunsama been a mystery to me that the application doesn’t support visualizing other “time zones”.
