Dynamic deadline for recurring tasks
Let me set a relative deadline for recurring events. For example, an event that happens every saturday, and a deadline that is the next thursday. so if i had an event on oct 22, its deadline would be oct 27. and the next instance of that recurring event, on the 29th, would have a deadline of nov 4.

This would be awesome in Akiflow. In Things 3 I was able to do exactly that and I used it all the time.

Hi Andy, can you confirm that these are the 2 things you'd like us to implement?

Stefania: The first one is exactly what I want. The second one, I mean that I want a due date relative to the recur date. Task recurs on Monday with a deadline of the following Thursday, then when the next Monday comes around, a new task shows up with the due date being THAT thursday, rather than the original thursday.

Andy: Clear! So it should be this one https://product.akiflow.com/features-and-improvements-request/p/let-me-add-a-dynamic-deadline-for-recurring-tasks
I try to merge similar request so the votes adds up and we can see what users want the most. If you confirm that, I'll merge your request with this one and add your vote for the command bar one.

Another feedback:
"Set Deadline dynamically when a task is recurring.
e.g. currently the deadline is a fixed date, not dynamic for the created task.
when i have a task on the 15. each month with a deadline of +2/3 days, its not working currently. And its very confusing, because a new task is created and already overdue for 2 months or so."
