Over the past couple of weeks, we have been busy working to enhance your overall experience using Hello Ivy.

Here are some of the improvements:

Updated interface

Our primary goal is to make project management software simpler and more user-friendly, focusing on improving the overall user experience and optimizing workflows. To achieve this, we pay close attention to the user interface to ensure it remains clean, visually appealing, and conducive to helping users stay focused on their tasks.

As Hello Ivy continues to grow and become more versatile with each passing week, we also introduce new features. However, we're selective about the features we add to the app. Our priority is to enhance the experience for the majority of our users, not just a select few. If a new feature can benefit a broad range of users, we'll see how to seamlessly integrate it into our interface.

Tasks

We've been on improving our task management tool a lot. Here's some of the major improvements:

Colored columns

We've introduced a background color for task columns. It makes it (visually) easier to distinguish between categorized tasks, which gives you better focus and higher productivity.

Performance

We made the task tool a LOT faster. We noticed that when you surpass around 40 tasks (with attachments), the board (and list) could get slow. We fixed this.

Modal

We updated the task modal (the page that opens when you click on a task), giving it a bit more width to help you organize your documentation neatly. We also changed the styling of the buttons and added icons for better recognition.

Sizes

We adjusted the sizing of icons and typography for task cards to create a neater-looking task overview, especially when it's filled with information. The less chaotic the UI, the better you can focus.

Start and Due dates

We changed the way start and due dates work. Instead of having buttons for both, we only kept the due date button and removed the start date button. Of course, it's still possible to set start and due dates; we just improved the UX and decluttered the interface.

You can now set both dates in the same calendar that opens when you click on due date. If the task only requires a due date, you can simply click the same date twice.

Images

We changed the way images are shown when you click on them. They show in a full-screen modal with a comment section on the side. You can download the image, copy the link or open the original.
