#1877: Quire Feedback
Status: To-do

Do you have any plans to add these features? Use cases as below.

  1. Transclusion (or cloning) is super duper useful in a wide variety of cases. Having the same tasks have multiple parents allows for a whole new level of organization. For instance. An apple is red and also a fruit. I can put both of those characteristics directly under 'apple' as child items. However, that may not make the most since because I'm actually trying to keep track of all the red things in my apartment for an art project and what I bought for groceries this week. If I make two seperate lists both containing their own apple entry and I eat the apple then one of the lists is no longer accurate even if I remove it from the other. With transclusion, I eat the apple, check it off in groceries, and it disappears from my red things list too. This example is a bit whimsical but the real world applications are incredible. It may seem similar to views or filters at first glance. However, it differs in two important respects. First, it can become part of the file structure meaning your knowledge is overall much more connected which allows a team to be far more aware of each other or an individual to make connections they wouldn't otherwise make. Second, it's far more granular while at the same time more off the cuff. I can clone a single task because I need to monitor it without dragging on a ton of other tasks or having to create a whole new filter.
  2. Having non complete-able tasks just makes it more useful as an outliner. This may not seem like your target demographic at first but if you combine these two ideas you'll see the power.

You could have an individual working on a snippet, updating that snippet in Quire, that snippet entry could be cloned to other people's own task lists meaning they always have the most up to date copy. That stuff, not being tasks necessarily, can live in the task list natively as references while also living in a sequestered (sp?), groomed knowledge base. Yet all 80 copies maintain the same version no matter where they are. And since you can't complete them no one can accidentally hide them.

Thanks!

Hi Alfred,

Thank you very much for giving us a very detailed feedback. We really appreciate it. As of speaking, we do have a plan to develop a feature called "Task dependency", it's not exactly the same with what you've described, however, it's somehow similar. I understand what you've said is similar to the "folder" feature. I've let our team know about your suggestions and we'll discuss further on how to implement these on Quire.

Thank you very much.
