czytelny/backlog

Simple desktop app for storing lists of items (todo, tasks, backlog items)

backlog's Issues

right click - new board?

what do you think about right click - new board idea?

just like in browser there is right click : new tab

[or maybe that plus could be right next to the tab?] seems too far being on the right.

Issue when sliding tabs

sometimes when user switch between tabs view scroll too much sometimes. Happens especially when user has many items/boards and/or slow cpu

multiple profiles?

what do u think about having multiple profiles?

like - lets say that tabs are not really boards but categories,
and boards would be these various sets of categories.

like 2 or more (3.4.5.6.7....) sheets of paper with 'tabs'

multiple select - move

would be nice if we could select multiple items to move them to other board

Suggestion: Add Head or Tail Default to Config

I would like to see a default setting for the "add to head or tail behavior" in config. This would be the default setting for each board. The setting on the board could override the default.

Addition of tags to identify the priority or assigning category to indivudial entries.

Hi czytelny, Do you think addition of tags to individual tasks/entries can add value to backlog. User can add individual tags to categorize the tasks and give them meaning and priority.

json list maker?

what do you think about expanding this into json list maker app? [in separate repo?]

where boards would be objects
and lists would be 2 columned
with strings on the left & values on the right.

and anyone could so simple write and export json in a breeze,
not worrying about syntax because app would do that for user.

Feature request: simple confirmation popup when deleting a Board

I accidentally clicked on the X icon in the tabs and removed a really huge list in an instant. It was a little frustrating and I doubt that I'm the last person that would accidentally do that.

Anyway, I thank you for building this app, Backlog fits my workflow perfectly :)

Using full width for input and switch

additionally, it need to be vertically center

How to properly update?

I'm coming from v 1.4.1
I'm updating like this:
I deleted Backlog folder within Program files
and unpacked Backlog from version 1.6 to it's place.

What happens it basically that I get new version of program,
but without access to previous data.
Apparently those migration scrips weren't triggered?

version of Backlog I downloaded is for 64bit Windows.

[Q] Will there be 32bit build?

So, will there be 32bit build?

Regards,
Miika

Prevent item moving while in edit mode - allow text selection with mouse instead

Currently not possible to select text with cursor (possible with keyboard) while in editing mode.
Prevent item being draggable while in edit mode - allow text selection with mouse instead.

Problem when click setting right after creating a new board

Issued scenario

Click Plus and create a new board -> Click setting cog button -> Can't find new board

like

what do you think of liking system?

it's just a thought, but worth mentioning.

maby to put ❤️ icon next to edit button, on the right side.
could be toggled to display per wish.

create migration script for new db

Prepare script (and perhaps conditional UI) (for existing users) to auto migrate their old boards&items to new db

Could we get a "Start with Windows" option¿

I would very much like an option to have Backlog start with Windows.
I have simply added it manually myself, but having it as an option would be great.

settings modal

First of all - thanks very much for new update, I'm trying it already 👍

I was wondering, could you maybe make settings modal to close when
one clicks on overlay behind it, for next version? (and maybe on ESC as well)

That's the only thing that bugs me, really.
Everything else is pretty much perfect in it's simplicity.

extraction

I'd appreciate if you'd allow extraction of 1 or more boards into .json file.

copy/paste

could u integrate copy / paste functionality, perhaps?

separate db to file with configurable location

• File with settings, boards and items (which plays role of a database) should be somewhere close at hand (in app folder)
• File location should be configurable. This way user can easily create backups and eg. share one db(file) between different computers (for example with dropbox)..

More Lists

Hello,

startet using Backog last week. Really like it. The only thing that bothers me a little is, that i can only create 5 Lists. After that the plus item deactivates. I would be great to have more lists. Thank you.

move element to a new empty dashboard

you cant move a element to a new empty dashboard, because there is not in the list of dashboard.

Bugs with duplicate tasks/boards

If you add two tasks with the same name, they check/uncheck each other when you click them. If you add two boards with the same name, the UI bugs out completely.

Btw, the ability to edit tasks would be nice.

Search among the entries

Is it missing "search for the entries among the boards"? And it can have options like search only the undone/done lists.

new board lost

any new board will lose after click setting button ( window 1.4.1 )

Move entries to other boards

Hey,

it would be awesome if there were a function to move entries to other boards. Maybe one of the following ways would be easy to implement?

1. A Button next to the edit and delete buttons.
2. Drag & Drop to the new Board
3. A Contextmenu Option like "Send to..." with a following dialog, where the user can chose the new board.

firebase integration

would it be possible to have firebase integrated,
so our data would be safe on web in case anything bad happens?

scroll through tabs

would it be possible for program to have option to scroll through tabs,
when it is minimized it has more tabs than one can see, than when it's
fully maximized. this would also allow us to have more data stored in sections.

App Doesn't load -- is blank

Does Backlog require certain permissions to run? Trying to run it from a University managed PC (I'm part of the IT Staff anyway) and the program just comes up blank. When I click on the window the typing cursor appears until I let go.

I'm not able to check if 'run as Administrator' would fix the problem.

Thanks,

Backlog's window height changes after every load

Hopefully this one is easier to work out than the previous issue.
I noticed every time I re-open Backlog, its Window height increases. This seems to continue happening to the point where the window goes off screen.

I imagine I would expect to find a setting that preserved the application's window height for the next load.

lost whole board of data

I have to report a bug.

I was entering list of data from a piece of paper, in default board
and suddenly it flashed, like it reloaded or smth. and board went blank
like I entered nothing at all.
Tried closing and opening, didn't help.
Doesn't backlog have some kind of autosave , or in-memory storage,
so one could retrieve such data loss? if not, maybe it should?

Vue Devtool shows so many components.

Is this normal?

Drag items only vertically

It is not sortable.js feature 😭

changing order of items is not persisted

Dark/Night Mode

Would you accept a PR for a dark mode for this neat little app!

copy-paste

please allow right click copy-paste

scrollbar

is this scrollbar such as browser scrollbar - if it is, can we maybe style it on our end?

or add mby smth like this: https://github.serafin.io/vuebar/

Data storage behavior conflict

Hi, thank you for your nice work 😃

When I tried to npm run dev on Windows, the data file backlog.json isn't modified as expected, as you can see from the above gif.

My guess is that the main process and renderer process both called lowdb and two instances of db exists at the same time. 👯 When I add a item from rendered process, the json file is modified. However, moving the window calls the storage function in main process, resulting in the json being overwritten by the previous state that this instance holds in the main process.

When I npm run build:win32 and run the exe directly, same problem occurs.

Strange. Your released version doesn't have this weird problem :) And I couldn't even find the backlog.json file. 😂
Is my development setting wrong?

Add markdown formatting for bold and italics

In addition to formatting using HTML tags, please implement possibility to format bold and italics using markdown which is much quicker and easier when adding many todos.

Fixed tabs + Move between categories

Please make tab display fixed, so that when we scroll down, we always see them. [this could be optional, on a tick of checkbox, but please make it happen].

This request is significantly related to my other one, and that one is
to make possible for users to easily move tasks between categories,
by simply drag-dropping them to other tab.

---

I see now that 2nd part of this request is actually duplicate of #27

Hide tab closer when app has last one.

If user has only one tab, user can not remove it.

add auto-update feature

It would be awesome if app can auto-update itself.. I need to investigate options for that

pls disable opening of links

this app acts like browser, when I click on link,
instead of opening link in browser it opens it in itself.

that's not really wanted behavior.
links should open in browser only.

vcruntime

Windows 10 64-bit complains "the code execution cannot proceed because vcruntime140.dll was not found". Downloaded the 64-bit zip; executed Backlog.exe

Suggestion: Add nested tasks

Just an idea. If we could nest tasks underneath a header tasks it allows for grouping.

I know this be done using separate boards, but doesn't feel the most efficient.

settings bug?

sometimes when I click on settings nothing really happens.
doesn't really open them at all.

Separate entries by their creation dates

Hi, I am actively using backlog and I think if I have can have entries separated by their creation dates then it would be better. Right now I have to add date manually at the end of each task

Thanks

Set save location for Backlog data

Currently Backlog seems to save its data in C:\Users....\Appdata\Roaming\Backlog. This currently poses a problem on machines that delete user profiles on shutdown, which means any boards are lost.

I would like to suggest the save/data location can be set for backlog's data through its settings. Failing that, the default save location for Backlog should instead be inside the program's folder rather than appdata (e.g. under a folder called data), especially if Backlog is designed to be self-contained.

Doesn't show the boards and the data

Got a new problem this morning. When i start the app i see my boards and the items for a moment. Than the App doesn't show the boards anymore. Also no config button.

Suggestion: Click on text to edit and click on the checkbox to set done

At the moment, when i click on the list of a list item it sets the whole item as done. When i want to edit the item, i have to use the button.

So what do you think about the following:

• To mark an item as done, the user has to click on the checkbox.
• To edit the text of an item the user has to click on the text. (i would maybe throw out the edit button afterwards? )
