Show HN: I built a recursive to-do list & calendar

Nice app!<p>The first three things I wanted were:<p>1. Monthly calendar view<p>2. Import from my Google calendar<p>3. Better formatting so it is easier to distinguish different days&#x2F;times<p>- Grid-lines<p>- Alternating background colors<p>- Mark &quot;Today&quot; so it is more visible (both with text and styling)<p>---<p>I personally don&#x27;t care about these, but the HN community consistently demands these two features. They improve the UX and are probably worth implementing:<p>1. Ability to try app without creating account&#x2F;logging in. I suggest anonymous &quot;guest accounts&quot; that can be upgraded to a full account after the user decides it&#x27;s worth permanently saving the data they created.<p>2. Data export. So users can still access their data even if you shut down your app.<p>---<p>Some other general wish-list items<p>- Markdown formatting (Github does this well)<p>- Add images via CTRL-V (Github also does this well)<p>- Text-based entry: If I type a date&#x2F;time like &quot;Jun 6 2pm,&quot; &quot;Today,&quot; &quot;6pm&quot; the todo item is automatically created&#x2F;moved to that date&#x2F;time.<p>- I have noticed todo tasks and notes are very related. So it would be nice to be able to associate and search for notes (that aren&#x27;t necessarily tasks).<p>- For example: when calling about an issue with a credit card I may add notes about the call with support (maybe they give me another phone number to call or other instructions) and add a follow-up task a few days later to confirm the issue was resolved

I used Google Calendar for 6 years, but was frustrated by its design. A task must be &gt;15 minutes, the todo-list is linear-only, the calendar always starts from Monday &quot;jumps&quot; to the next week etc.<p>So I built intentions.life, my dad &amp; I used it for 6 months now :^)<p>Apart from lots of common-sense improvements, it has 4 unconventional features: branching to-dos, reusable tasks, uncertain goals, and timely photos.<p>All demos are on the home page, no need to log-in<p>It&#x27;s still a limited version, but the quality is stable. Appreciate BRUTALLY HONEST feedback if you&#x27;re willing to give it :^), the app has changed and will keep changing a lot.
