We're excited to introduce native integration with Todoist in OFFLIGHT! Plus, you can now use Markdown to format your descriptions, which previously only supported plain text. We've been working hard to bring you this update, so here's what we've got for you this week.
⭐This Week's Highlights
Todoist Integration Ver. α 🔄
As always, we’ve been quick to release the alpha version of Todoist integration. You can now link your Todoist tasks to OFFLIGHT and give it a try. If there’s anything you feel could be improved or needs additional support, let us know!
📚 For detailed instructions on how to set up Todoist integration, check out our guide 😉
Markdown Support 📝
We’ve added Markdown support to help you format your text better. You can use Markdown in task descriptions and event descriptions.
- Text Formatting
- Bold: Use **text** or select the text and press CMD + B.
- Italic: Use *text* or select the text and press CMD + I.
- Underline: Use __text__ (two underscores) or select the text and press CMD + U.
- Bulleted list: Start with * or - followed by a ⎵ (SPACE).
- Ordered list: Start with 1. , 2. , 3. , etc., followed by a ⎵.
- Section heading: Start with #, ##, ### followed by a ⎵.
- Task (Checkbox): Start with [ ] followed by a ⎵.
🐛 Bug Fix
- We’ve fixed an issue where the service integration wasn’t smooth on Windows desktop apps. Now, you can connect services with just one click and see the integration status immediately, without needing to switch to the web app or log in again.
To apply the updates on both Windows and Mac, you'll need to download the new version of the desktop app. Head to the App Download page to get the latest version.
- We also resolved an issue where logging in on OFFLIGHT Mobile wasn’t working correctly.
Android users will need to download the latest mobile version. Go to the App Download page to get it.
🚀 Upcoming
- Natural Language Task Creation: We’re working on a feature that lets you create tasks with natural language, making it quicker and easier to include all the details you need.
We believe a productivity tool that takes 4-5 seconds to create a task and set up a time block isn’t truly productive. That’s why, rather than focusing on features like tags and reordering lists, we’ve decided to prioritize optimizing the performance of our service. For
the next two weeks, we’ll be running a sprint dedicated to performance optimization.
To help our makers stay focused, this sprint will last for two weeks, which means there won’t be an update next week.
(We’ll miss you! 🥺)
💬 Behind the Scenes
- We believe that the speed of a productivity tool is its most essential feature. That’s why we’ve named this optimization project “Project 0.1sec.” Our goal is to ensure that tasks can be created, edited, deleted, and time-blocked in just 0.1 seconds. We’re committed to making this a reality.
- We’ve also heard your requests for smoother transitions and animations within the app. Once we’ve improved speed, we’ll start designing animations and transitions to enhance your experience even further.
- Got any questions about us? Send them our way! If we get enough questions, next week’s update might be a Q&A where we answer them all. 💌
