Not sure why, but v8 seems more approachable than earlier versions. Sort of invites me to pour everything into it, and completed tasks can be archived and hidden from view. I disliked Kanbanflow because it wanted to keep a visible list of completed tasks.

You’re right!

That’s been my experience. What’s more, you can get as simple (or as complex) as you like. You could keep everything in the Inbox, if you wanted, or create lots of individual projects, or just a few big projects (for multiple tasks). I also love the way you can choose to focus on just a few tasks or projects, with “zoomed-in” timeline views (for example). Do experiment with the various drop-down and context menus, too. Not to mention drag and drop.
It’s really moved on.

I moved the tasks to project folders, and then moved most of them back. Just didn’t feel right to have them filed away.

Bill, thanks for the heads up on the new Pagico, and all the details provided. I’m another one of this forum’s users who invested on a previous incarnation, also upgrading for at least two versions before abandoning it. Aside its idiosyncrasies, a reason for my deserting it was my need for collaboration; at the time it was aimed at individuals only. Can you comment on this version’s collaborative task management capabilities? (If you’ve already done so, just point me to the relevant post, I may have missed it.)
