Show HN: An Exploding To-Do List
- beechwood 7y agoI made an exploding to-do list. The idea behind the app is pretty simple: get your tasks done before they disappear. After the timer reaches zero there's an exploding GIF and you can see stats about how well you did.
- hajola 7y agoTried it out. Found it confusing to add items to the list, kept on "canceling the mission". Perhaps see if others have the same ux problem.
- Ladyady 7y agoInteresting concept. I think a success message might help too. I finished all my tasks before the countdown, but I don't get a 'well done', nor do the stats update. Re the cancel button, I think moving it elsewhere is advisable, or telling the user that they only have to hit enter to add a new task. Or, adding a mini submit to each new row, but that defeats the purpose of your 'hit enter' function.
- beechwood 7y agoGotcha! I've had similar requests. Users want the ability to mark a list complete before the timer expires. I think a success message would be a nice addition as well. And the cancel button needs to be moved! Thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
- beechwood 7y agoI made some changes based on your feedback. I added a "complete mission" button that marks your list as complete, updates stats and rains down confetti. I made the "cancel mission" button smaller and moved the location as well as adding a "add" button to add items to the list. You can still hit enter to add an item.
