Treat inbox like an inbox
My mental model of an inbox is a quick place to put tasks before you sort them, such as when a new quick task gets added.
I'd like to be able to move tasks in my inbox to a project (which is sort of confusing since it acts more like folder and tag combo) and not appear in my inbox.
My inbox is overwhelming with multiple integrations and would like a way to use it more as a temporary holding space before I organize them into its appropriate spot.

Hi Conner, thanks for your feedback!
We decided to not move tasks away from the Inbox if you don't plan/snooze/snooze for someday them because we want to avoid creating an overwhelming list of tasks in your Label/Tags pages. Like this we want to gently push you to decide when you want to work on a task (plan) or when you can decide this (snooze), so you can clear your inbox and workspace. What do you think?

Stefania: OK, I can appreciate the gentle nudge to plan. This is different than most task tools, but maybe that's a good thing.
Maybe it feels off right now since I have 6 different integrations all coming in and haven't taken the time to sort/plan them all yet.
If this is how Akiflow wants to treat inbox, which I can see the benefits, it would be nice to be able to bring Someday and Snoozed to the main left navigation pane rather than having to click the arrow to view.
I noticed that when I mark a task in a label as someday the counter in the label is removed. It would also be nice to be able to choose whether or not tasks marked as someday affect the counter. This is so that someday tasks don't get "hidden".

Conner Drew: Thank you so much for sharing Conner!
You can use the letter/shortcut G to jump to any page like Snoozed or Someday.
We'll probably remove the counter soon as it shows only the Inbox tasks.
