Improve the design
Just signed up and love the "Group tasks" in calendar functionality, it' something I've been hoping someone would crash, which you did. The only thing right now that makes my experience feel a friction is THE DESIGN. Come one guys, bump this up to a more professional level. Everything is sooo small, almost unreadable. And no contrast in colors makes being in that environment dull.
Just my two cents. Sort this and you are on your way to a great tool.

Hey Akiflow team,
After giving the new design a try, I think I prefer the old look. There was more separation, higher contrast, and had a focus on productivity.

Anthony: Hi Anthony, thanks for your feedback! What do you mean by "had a focus on productivity"? Thank you:)

Stefania: The distinct borders made it easy to distinguish between each of the UI elements. Without it, everything kind of just blends together. Hope that makes sense.

Hi everyone, we just found a bug about calendar colors and we'll fix it soon, but this is the way to fix it manually for now:
Go to Settings>General>Theme and change the theme to light.
Quit the app and relaunch
Change it back to dark
Quit the app and relaunch.
Let me know if the colors are now different for you. Thanks:)

Not a fan at all of the new design released yesterday, would love to go back to the old design. My calendar colors are all messed up now and I can't change them. Speaking of no contrast in colors and being dull from the original post, this new update makes the colors even more washed out, no contrast, more dull, please give me the option to go revert to the old design.

Andrew G: Hi Andrew, thank you so much for your message!
Do you use light or dark mode?
You can right-click on an event to change its color.

Stefania: I am using Dark mode. This screenshot shows 3 different colors for calendar items and they all very similar that it's hard to easily distinguish between them. The old design had better contrast in colors. I also liked the lines and borders of the old design and the strips on the timeline showing past from present.

Hi everyone, since this feedback we improved a lot our design and we just released a new version with new layout and new colors. This is just the start of our new redesign, let me know what you think about that:)

Stefania: I totally disagree with this by the way. The existing design is minimal, and calming. Nothing gets in the way, it's the strongest reason I have to use this tool.
