Walt's Corner

I’m giving DoBot Todos (link will open your iTunes and view the application in the App Store) a shot. It’s a pretty nice Todo application, and it’s free! I was creating some To-Dos today when it seemed awkward when trying to assign a due day.

In the above picture, I am attempting to set a due date for a task within a root level task. The Root level task needs to be completed by the 20th of August. I know that much. But off the top of my head, I couldn’t tell you what the 20th of August is. This particular task of the overall task needs to be done by the Friday prior. What date would that be? No easy way to tell without pulling out a calendar with a month view.

Here is where my suggestion comes in. Maybe it’s not even possible, as I’m sure that Apple allows this app to tap into it’s date system for setting this particular due date. But here’s my suggestion: use the month view for this input. Below is the month view from the Calendar on iPhone.



If I were able to choose my due date this way, I could pick a due date that is relative to the actual due date of the overall task. I would know right off the bat that the Friday prior would be the 15th. Am I making sense?
