Project descriptions
A short paragraph saying what the project is for, behind a button on the header. Didi will write a first draft if you would rather not.
By ToDidIt Product TeamUpdated
A project named "Q3 Launch" means something to you today and nothing to the teammate who joins in six weeks. Two sentences of context is the difference between a project someone can pick up and one they have to ask you about.
It is also the thing you will be glad of when you come back to a project you paused three months ago.
Behind a small button next to the project name, which opens the description in a modal and lets you edit it on the spot, and closes on Esc. The button only appears once the project actually has one.
It is deliberately not printed down the top of the page. An inline description pushes the task list below the fold, and on a phone it ate the entire first screen, so the header stays tight and the context is one click away.
Whether you write it or Didi does, it ends up in the same place.
Open the project and click the settings gear.
Open ProjectsThe description field is rich text, the same editor tasks use. A project that already has one has a quicker route: the button beside its name opens the description in a modal you can edit in place.
Answer two questions in two sentences.
What is this for, and how will you know it is finished. That is the whole job. Anything longer stops being read by the person who needed it.
Or press the Didi draft button and edit what comes back.
It reads the project name and its tasks and writes a paragraph for one To-Did. Nothing saves until you have read it.
Yes. The Project Description Writer turns the project name and its tasks into a two or three sentence paragraph for one To-Did. You edit it before it saves, so nothing lands in the project that you have not read.

The Description Writers
Didi drafts a project description or a task description from what it already knows about the work. 1 To-Did each, and you edit before it saves.
Creating and running a project
A project is a name, a description, and a task list tabbed by phase, with an Active tab and a Log tab so finished work does not clutter the working view.
The task drawer
Open any task to get its description, subtasks, dependencies, tags, assignee, comments and dates in one panel, without losing your place in the list.
Project settings, archiving, and deleting
Rename, rewrite the description, archive when it is finished, delete when it should never have existed.
