Bring back someday/snoozed items button indicators in project view

There used to be a button showing there are some someday items in a project. Now it's not visible and you have to click on the three dots to find out. This is worse than what was there before -> the visual cue would inform that there are some things that are not done, but are hidden. It helped me many times realize and open that thing up. Can we bring it back?

and as far as I recall, the cue was there for both snoozed and someday items (one was the icon of archive and one icon of time, if I'm not mistaken). Both would show only if there was something snoozed/somedayed.

    Hi everyone,

    We just released a new version of Akiflow with some huge changes!

    We removed the Snooze feature (no worries, no tasks are lost and ‘Someday’ it’s still there!) and added Time Frames, reviewing completely the Upcoming view, the Plan options and the Rituals (adding weekly ones as well).

    You can find here the list of today’s updates: https://product.akiflow.com/changelog.

    So I’m closing this request but let me know what you think about the new release and what we can improve for you.

    Thanks,

    Stefania

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback on this recent improvement. I will share this with our design team so they can further check any possible improvements with this.

    Šimon Demočko we decided to change it since most users do not notice it before. Can you share to me how this new update of this feature does not suit your preference? It might only require slight adjustment but in general it looks more cohesive and compact on a design perspective.

      Jeson P Hey, thanks for reaching out. I think I explained myself in the original post, but if it's unclear still, I'll try to elaborate. I agree, that cohesive and compact is what you achieve when you reduce visibility of functionality or hide it in an expandable menu. But those that benefit from the visual cue will lose. And you cannot really measure if the visual cue is used by someone, because it is informing them even if they don't click on it. So you might be underestimating the "usage" when it comes to reading.

      I regularly use someday to put tasks I am not wanting to sit in an inbox, but also it's not the right time to plan them for a specific time to do. E.g. blocked items. Or when you have a lot of tasks for a project, even further up front as a breakdown, but really it makes no sense to put some of them already in calendar. But you surely don't want to have your inbox overflowing with irrelevant stuff. Inbox zero, after all, right? So you someday the items. But then how do you know if a project has someday items when you visit it? How many things are sitting there undone? In someday or snoozed? When you open the project? You instead of glancing on the icon seeing that there are someday items now have to click on the three dots to see if there are any.

      I preferred to have the visual cue there and when necessary expand it. I'd like it back. If you decide you don't want it there, well up to you. But there's already 3 people who noticed it's missing enough to actually find a ticket and raise the voice with a vote. There might be more who didn't put the effort to find the ticket.
