@raroque Congrats @raroque !

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque @ellieplanner Nice! @ToDesktop looks super powerful too.

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque been trying out and lovin the simplicity of Ellie but I think there's a bug with the desktop app.

It's stuck in an infinite loop of downloading the latest update, asking me to update and then doing the same thing all over again.

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque Noticed this today in @ellieplanner. I can now choose when to update !

A small thing goes such a long way, thanks @raroque

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque @sneub I've actually just started looking into Apollo recently as well. Time to share notes

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque That's it for now... I'll drop you more as I use it :)

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

While I'm at it @raroque , a few more feature requests for Ellie:

1) Ctrl + Space for global add. #1 thing I'm missing from my old workflow / other tools like Sunsama

I realize now I used things / brain dump for almost purely this reason alone.

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque 4) Please let me change the emoji for the default braindump list haha

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque oh re: #1 my current work around is a shortcut I have to pull up Ellie and then pressing 'b' for braindump

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque 3) Proper WYSIWYG bullet points. I know the notes section is for basic stuff / its not meant to be Notion 😛 but basic bullets for a list would go 80% of the way there. I use these a lot

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque 2) Natural language processing so you can say "<task_name> on next tuesday at 4pm"

Really helps when adding details / contextualizing adding a task without resorting to clicking around the UI.

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque Makes sense, I guess for now I'm just using a single "brain dump" list and then categorizing tasks with labels (though I often forget to do that)...

Also, if we're gonna do multi-list, keyboard shortcuts to select the right are key.

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque So far having fun with ellie. I'll drop you more thoughts when I get the chance to play more 🙃

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque @raroque no worries, this has been happening in the past few days, I've noticed it on every version since 2.3.5, I'm now on 2.3.8

Noticed manually quitting / re-opening the app *sometimes* applied the new version

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque In general struggling with... if I add a task to a list, do I:

1) Add it to generic 'braindump' and then add a label to it?

2) Add it to a specific list instead?

Whats the happy path?

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque An interesting idea - multiple lists, I'm a newer Ellie user trying to figure out how this feature was intended to be used. Do you have a help article / screencast?

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@raroque Would be great to either be able to turn off forced updates, or choose when to update (eg. sometimes I don't want it to autodownload, eg. if I'm tethering off a limited data plan)

[Derek Yau @derekyau]

@garylo926 Totally agreed @garylo926 been awhile since we have caught up!
