@OlgaA If you recommend an external tool, like a to do list, you should also mention to which extent privacy is respected by the recommended software. Privacy is marketed as a unique selling proposition by Vivaldi and furthermore To Do List Applications handle very sensible data.
-
@miyata1606: That's a good point, I've added a link to their privacy policy. It is pretty decent. They don't share personal data with 3rd parties without prior consent and don't sell data to 3rd parties. But, of course, everyone should decide for themselves.

Personally, I've been preferring a calendar service than a to-do list, since I read an article by Harvard Business Review
What I do then is schedule the time I expect to be working in something in Google Calendar (web panel works great for this), and I also use the Notes to write down anything related to the task (such as instructions, or a checklist of progress). -
The Break mode function is certainly useful, if users in the work mess don't forget to take this break. Remembering that Vivaldi has another great function, a clock with a timer. It would therefore be great if this can be combined to automate the break mode, after a certain time.This would prevent the user from forgetting the time he is working, which is frequent.
-
@gabevilela: That is also a great way to do it. Good to know you are using the Web Panels for this.
-
@catweazle: Yes, this makes total sense.
-
@catweazle: Taken off my tongue, mister!
-
@OlgaA Also, Vivaldi's Notes feature, using markdown, can be used to create a checklist. No need for external tools at all.
-
Hum ... Can I buy that Vivaldi water bottle ?
-
@Catweazle I don't think many will like being told when to stop for a break. They will simply disable break mode and resume wherever they left off until they reach a natural break point. The alarm alone is sufficient, but I would also need a reminder to set the reminder in the first place.
-
@Pesala , It can be an option in the timer, which can also be used to automate other functions, open a web address at a predetermined time, for example to watch some live streaming and things like that. With this the watch would really be a killer function.
-
@OlgaA Maybe if Vivaldi adds support for checkboxes in the notes, we can get rid of todoist?
-
@veljanovski: there's already. please learn a bit more of markdown
anyways, quickie this is syntax (at the start of a new line):- [ ]
2nd thought: yeah, there could be ui buttons for markdown syntax.
3rd thought: ohh god. there are already ui buttons in the note editor full view. but: there's no ui button for to-do list. yeah, that could be added indeed.ui buttons as in:
