Thank you very much for your feedback, @salariua!
I understand your point, there are always big projects that needs multiple sub-layers. But I have to explain things about a project in GTD, and also what we plan to improve in Doit.im.
A project in GTD means not a big project, but just a multi-step task. If a task can not be done within one step, then we turn it into a project. That's it. That's what a project means in GTD. So it's rather small. From time aspect, it could be finished within at most 1 month or so.
What we have big projects, how can we do then?
Then we have goals in Doit.im. So we put projects into a goal. If there are several projects that can be contained in a same goal, then we put them into this same goal by selecting and right-clicking the projects if in web and desktop version, or long-pressing a project and tapping more other projects and setting them a goal if in phone version. A goal could be finished within 3 months or so.
For bigger goals, we suggest you separate them into more smaller goals, because that can be handled much more easily.
Sure, what you say about duplicating a project is a good idea, and we've put it into our plan and will design and develop it.
If any more ideas or thoughts, just feel free to have a discussion with us.
Have a pleasant day!
Sub-folders
Let me start by congratulating you on a very good product.
I don't buy software in general, rather donate where I can to support developers but Doit.im is a rare piece of gem.
While there will always be things to improve and tweak, I need you to consider the vital part of having sub-folders.
90% of any software following on GTD doesn't support sub-projects, or sub-folders (believe me, I've tried them all). It gives the impression they are targeting housewifes, grannies and students for any serious user will sooner than later have projects with nested projects or subfolders.
I am tackling things like "Open a new plant" or "Start a new website" which can never be done on a single project with nested sub-tasks. They can have hundreds if not thousands of tasks and these projects tend to repeat themselves multiple times a year.
Please consider sub-folders, sub-projects (any number of levels) and also project templates or duplicating a project. Starting up a plant has pretty much same tasks with various options.
Thank you once again for your effort, hope you stay in business for many, many years.
Best,
Adrian Salariu
