Oh, and of course the move task keyboard shortcut is required for quickly cleaning my Inbox list.

Holy cow! You can create a new list without going into settings! That's a huge improvement in itself!

Just signed up for a pro account, loving my RTM on my Droid Eris phone.

But, I definitely think the "a bit better rtm" should be incorporated in the actual site design (or at least giving some options for different layouts).

I use RTM with the Fluid browser on Mac, so I can't use these features. But I think they would be an excellent addition.

A Bit Better RTM is the ONLY reason I am still a user of RTM. Andrew's changes are essential. I find the website/service unuseable without them. Every time I see a screenshot of RTM without the extension running, I am amazed at how unusable the UI is.

The default UI has needed an overhaul (IMO) for a while. Either integrate Andrew's designs and features into the default UX, or pay him to design something even better.

I agree with funkeye. I was about ready to give up on rtm and move to something more gtd oriented. But A Bit Better RTM + Chrome is such a deadly combo; super fast, clean layout, and MUCH more directed toward being gtd friendly. RTM is amazing, without question. But it does feel like building a sand castle with a bulldozer, it's such a powerful tool framed in such a simple format that even after moderate use, you still can't see the scope of what's even possible without expending considerable time, researching, testing, and implementing various setup formats and systems. And then there is a complete lack of direction for use cases/white papers on implementation. The forums and Tuesday Tips is a nice start, and better than having nothing; and while I'm a fan of make a powerful tool and see what people do with it approach, a little more direction would be nice. And finally, Andrew Paprotsky thank you so much for this, your work makes using rtm so much easier and an actual joy to use. It's damn good, thanks for the up keep. Cheers.

Thank god! So happy that I found this extension... RTM guys write in the help that you can have "many lists as you want". But multiple Tab lines is an awful thing to deal with. Go to settings to create new lists sucks also.

Great work Andrew...

+1. Only reason I RTM. Why this would not be incorporated into design is beyond me.

I too use RTM in a Fluid SSB. I wish these additions would work within the SSB. I loved using them in Firefox.

Posted 2 years ago

I would also love to see this functionality incorporated into RTM. I have just switched to using Fluid on Mac and really miss Andrew's modifications. I will probably have to switch to another browser to get his script working again (as it's just so much more intuitive to use), but it would be so much more convenient if I didn't have to do this on each computer that I want to access RTM on. This functionality should just work regardless of browser choice.

Come on guys, please make it happen!

Otherwise I am one very happy RTM user :D

I am really hoping to see some better interface changes to match 'A Bit Better RTM.' My extension just stopped working for some reason and I'm reminded how terrible the tabbed interface is.

Posted 2 years ago

It's also stopped working for me in Chrome on the Mac. Making me nuts. I've gotten so used to seeing my lists on the left. The tabs hurt my eyes. If I can't get it working again (I've un-installed/re-installed a zillion times) I might bail on RTM. It hurts that much.

Please, if nothing else, put the lists on the left.

Posted 2 years ago

@mbuccella, just log out and log in again. That should work. I'm using "a bit better rtm" in Chrome right now and it just works fine. By the way, it would be great to see some of these features in regular rtm.

I just updated Greasemonkey this morning, and A Bit Better RTM stopped working for me. I reinstalled, restarted Firefox, logged out/logged in - nothing. Anyone else have this happening?

And +1 for a UI refresh in general. For those of us with tons of smart lists, the tab-based layout just doesn't make much sense.

A Bit Better RTM stopped working for me too. Is it a problem with the site or the script?

Posted 2 years ago

fentie

I believe it has to do with the recent update(s) to the Greasemonkey add-on, although the script could probably be updated to work around the changes that the add-on introduced.

Posted 2 years ago

andrew.paprotsky

@fentie - try Firefox or Chrome extension instead of greasemonkey script:

Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-bit-better-rtm/
Chrome - https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/glcdefibajbglmeelclffdbakgjjjopc

Hope this helps.

The Firefox addon works fine, even in Firefox 4.0 Beta :-)

A Bit Better RTM works for me in Chrome without any problems (at least for now), kudos to the developer.

+1 to integrate it in the official RTM frontend

Posted 2 years ago

The plugin stopped working for me on Chrome a couple of days ago, hoping for some kind of update on either side to fix it.

I completely agree -- I don't even bother using the RTM website without this installed. The website needs a massive overhaul if you don't plan on using this script.

Posted 2 years ago

I was about to suggest this one too. The BetterRTM is a better and easier GUI then the standard RTM.

Please consider taking the betterRTM GUI as the standard

+2 - I was not aware for A bit better RTM until now. THANK YOU! This UI is so way better than the default.

+2 for adding this to the standard RTM interface

for those having problems in Chrome: just try to deactivate and reactivate the extension. This fixes the problems for me.

I'd love to see some of the improvements from A Bit Better RTM integrated into Stock RTM. I have enough lists that the sidebar is a much better interface for me than the tabs.

Maybe now the iPad app is delivered the developers can turn their attention to the web interface. I appreciate and use the mobility solutions (which are on the whole very slick) but in terms of active management of my tasks I still do most of it on the PC and the website is the primary user interface. It is severely lagging behind and would have to be the single most important piece of work outstanding.

Thanks for the heads up, just added to Chrome and love it. It seems getting permission to officially integrate this settings/interface would clear up quite a few of the suggestions on here.

Almost seems like a no-brainer, especially since it can be turned off easily.

The bit better rtm is a bit glitchy for me adding extra "+ add list" buttons. It did work for a little while but then just started playing up. Now I have to go back to those ugly tabs :(

Well my work around is to use Chrome for my RTM because the firefox version is kaput

If I could perennially cast all of my thumbs-up just to one feature, it'd likely be this.

I cannot believe how non-functional a user interface the concept of stacking rows upon rows upon rows of tabs upon each other is.

In addition to all its other glories, Bit Better RTM fixes that.

Emily, SERIOUSLY. How in the heck are you guys thinking that adding rows and rows of tabs upon each other is even slightly a good UI?

Posted 1 year ago

casutton

I agree with funkeye that I would probably not be using RTM anymore if not for A Bit Better RTM. I have 50 lists or so and it is extremely time consuming to find the list I want using the "rows of tabs" UI. Having a vertical list that I can arrange as I please rocks.

Posted 1 year ago

Agree with funkeye. I have about 30 lists - it's unmanageable with the default UI. And you should probably work on decreasing the number of clicks needed to perform some basic manipulations such as creating a list and moving tasks from one list to another

The extra shortcuts and the lists on the side are the key features!

Posted 1 year ago

Just got me a pro account, but wouldn't have done that without the existence of the "a bit better" chrome extension. I mean, unlimited lists, but show them as tabs? What were you guys thinking?

Thumbs up for this idea!

Posted 1 year ago

Completely agree with you guys. Unlimited lists as tabs is just SO WRONG it hurts. Creating a new list should be possible without going to settings. Without this extension I wouldn't be using RTM.

The current (original) UI is one the worst in webapps I've seen..

mikabren

The options of 'A Bit Better RTM' are really useful for some people. I would also use some functions.

However, I think it's very important that these functions are made optional, so the ones who love them can use them, and the people who like RTM as it is now, can keep using it this way.

I agree that there should be a keyboard shortcut to move tasks to another list. This way I could clean my inbox without using my mouse!

I agree with everyone else. The list of lists is far superior to the tabs. My only beef with the extension is that it's a little buggy, which is why it would be great to have the functionality built in.

On FIrefox version 22.0 this extension is no longer working. I find the list view and the ability to resize the width so useful that without this script RTM is a much poorer application. Anyone else having this problem?
