Thanks! Yeah, I should mention that somewhere :)

Thanks! Definitely, should mention that somewhere

It's designed to update only when you let go, o/w it's unnecessary compute and repainting. If that's annoying, I can enable during the drag too.

Lol domain is $5. I don't really care about a coffee :). I am new to web development and ui/ux, picked it up during Covid for kicks. Have been a computer vision/ robotics guy since forever now. Just wanted some relevant feedback on literally the first web app I have ever built.

TIL this is called a Covey chart. Thanks for that. I couldn't find a solution like this which allows for moving/ re-arranging tasks and presenting them in an easy to use way, so I made it.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings, can't make everyone happy I guess :)

Fair enough, that's a good point. My spouse is a PM and when I asked them to use this, they actually ended up using all quads except for Bottom Right (Low Impact, High Urgency). So your points stands, a competent team will correctly prioritise.

As an engineer, I love your idea. The original use case for this tool is daily self-prioritization and I wanted to keep it really, really simple. Planning in general is overwhelming and I wanted to take that pain away, coz I found myself spending longer in planning than actually doing. By only considering the impact/urgency of a task, you take away the effort/time cost and only focus on the task at hand, irrespective of how much time it takes. As an example, if you have a task that is extremely high impact and high urgency, will you drop it in favor of another task that is quicker but lower in impact/urgency? Since you are defining your own task, the expectation is that your mental model takes care of impact/ effort and (somehow) fuses that information into one value.

I will keep your feedback in mind and think of a nice way. Thanks for the kind words

Ahh nice, that's a good idea. You are absolutely right in that it needs "Effort". I intended this to be a personal prioritization tool, NOT something that should be used by teams. So you sort of have your own model of effort <-> impact and it gets marginalized (at least that's how it works for me) I explained that a bit in the "learn more" section on the web app, but maybe I should add more info.

I think that complicates the UI a tiny bit. Right now, the user can drag any task to place the task anywhere. I don't think numeric fields make for pleasant UI. I could be wrong though. Will keep this point in mind, if more folks complain, will work it in :)

Good question. This isn't for PMs. This actually should not be used for large/ group projects. As you rightly said, a PM will put everything in top-right. This was intended for self-prioritization.

An app to visualize and organize your tasks in an Impact/ Urgency matrix. The app currently uses local storage only, no accounts yet.

Would love some feedback :)

Can confirm it works. Have done this often in about 3-4 years. It's easy to fall asleep really fast if you are actually tired (physically or mentally)...doesn't work if you are just bored and wanna pep yourself up.
