ðŸ§Â Plan your day (beta feature)
|
You can already plan your month and week in a lightweight way in Compass Calendar. Now you can also plan your …. day! *John Cena entrance music* It’s a task list next to your agenda. Pretty straightforward, but don’t underestimate the power of simplicity. Showing one day’s worth of tasks/events will help you turn off that monkey brain and lock in on what you need to do today. We also added shortcuts to help manage the tasks, which will keep your mind focused and your hands away from the mouse (ew). To use this feature, you’ll need to opt in to the beta program, which just takes two clicks. I walk through the feature and the beta program in this super serious 36-second video 👇 One caveat: Day tasks are currently stored in your browser, which means if you clear your browser history, they’ll disappear. This is the price of bleeding-edge tek. We’ll be storing tasks in our cloud DB with daily backups once we release this feature out of beta. (Events and weekly/monthly tasks are already stored in the DB.) Try it out and LMK what you think!
PS. Shoutout to our latest contributor: @PatrikH-01. Thank you all for making Compass better 🫡 |

The delete CLI command now cleans up your browser data in addition to the database, which can get stale during development. Tasks are saved in indexeddb (previously local...
You can now go from being interested in Compass to using it for real in 3.94 seconds. (Yes, I timed it.) No long onboarding or signup process. Instead, your changes are saved locally. Once you're ready to commit, you can connect your Google account through the command palette. Behind the scenes, we then sync your local changes with your GCal and our cloud servers. Why do this?

This time of year comes with optimism, energy, and planning. But the only thing that we can count on is our plans not going according to plan. When that happens, it’s helpful to simply focus on what you can control today. Over the last month, we made it a lot easier to do that with Compass. You can now manage your events from the /day view just like you would on your week or month calendar. This allows you to stay on top of your tasks and events without context-switching.
