People are different when it comes to where in a list we want to add new Tasks.
The solution is obvious - have options for users to do this anywhere.
Google Keep Checklists have had this as default for ages and it's incredible that basically no one else does it, forcing users to adapt to a way that feels unnatural to them or discard a tool.
In Upbase this could mean:
  • Checkboxes in settings to show "+ Add Task" at top and/or bottom.
  • When hovering mouse pointer between two tasks have "+ Add Task" show up there the same way a blue line will show if you drag a task there. Click to add.
  • Just like now, after quickly creating a new task by typing title + ENTER, have a new one pop up under it so that you can keep typing the next title, but don't create an empty task there if one does not type.
  • Possibly add the option to have the next task pop up OVER the just created task if one wants to, or only for tasks created at top of list.
Et voila - now no user need to go against the way their mind works!
To this add better control of where and how completed tasks are handled. I'll make a separate post for that.
