June Updates: Ride on time
Introducing time of day scheduling.
This month we’ve introduced an option to specify a time of day for all your tasks! Now, if you have a daily check-in, an important client presentation, or a weekly design review, you can schedule a set time for it.
It’s as easy as selecting “Specific time” when adding or updating a task.
We’re also excited about using time of day in combination with our favorite calendar apps. Subscribe your schedule to Google, Apple, or Outlook using your iCal link, and tasks with a time of day will also populate.
Time of day is also supported in email notifications and included in our API.
Up until now, there hasn’t been an efficient way to specify time or task order within Float. We’d see people using the task name field in combination with the priority option for this purpose, and it’s routinely been one of our most popular feature requests.
Some designs feel obvious and inherently intuitive, but this one wasn’t one of them (at least not in our early attempts), as it always felt like we were adding too much complexity. After many revisions, we’re happy with where it’s landed and hope that you are too!
We’d like to send a big thank you to those that provided feedback as part of our beta reviews — your input was invaluable.
