Hi all,
I really like the task app Planify, but what really confuses me is that there are three places to add a date to a task:
- Date (arrow on the left)
- Deadline (arrow on the right)
- Reminder (arrow in the middle)
Especially if you sync your task with other task apps it becomes confusing because most other apps knows a start date, a end date (aka deadline) and a reminder (usually set to the end data but could be also used otherwise)
With Planify the date (arrow on the left) gets synced to the end date on my Nextcloud server. The other two dates get lost during the sync. When I create a task on Nextcloud and set a start date, a end data and a reminder in Nextcloud. Only the end-date gets synced to Planify as “date”. On the other hand all three values are synced fine to the Tasks.org app on Android.
I don’t want to rule out the possibility that Nextcloud is behaving strangely here. But even putting the sync behavior aside. Having a generic "date”, a “reminder” and a “deadline” in Planify feels strange to me and I never know what to use. Especially the generic “date”.
Does the different dates make sense to you? How do you use them and do you sync it with any other service which maps the dates somehow?
