Resource tasks and auto accumulating counter triggers
2) my next requests are Resource task and Auto accumulating counter triggers
One thing I really like about that project management app is the idea of resources. So like dependant tasks, some tasks can't be started without the necessary resources to start them.
Got the resource (eg. Part x arrived in the mail), show the list of tasks that you couldn't start until the part or resource arrived.
Now What if you allowed the user to create and name 1 or more number variable(s) as part of a task or a resource task that would accumulate to a target amount (set by the user) by a specified amount(accumulative value). Associate a unit eg ($, kg) to the variable. Once that target amount has been reached, bring up a list of tasks that were dependant on that target value.
Eg. Savings
Another poor example. A resource task might be "Money From Payday " which occurs weekly etc. You've set up a variable for $100.?ive now clicked that task 5 times and now that $500 has been reached. "buy PlayStation" appears lol. the accumulative value now returns back to 0. Let say you don't buy the PlayStation. Well that's also possible too so maybe like a inbox counter, active task counter, why not have a variable counter. Eg. Savings $xxxxx etc.
Why not show the accumulator value in the task view as well for the task that has a accumulator set? It's nice to be able to see how much I've saved so far from a quick glance or how many hours I've put onto some task
