Dynamic Widgets

[maxkorp]

I'm new to using loop, but so far I like it mostly. My only complaints really are around having large numbers of habits getting unwieldy, especially around widgets.

For example, I prefer to track my water intake in glasses as individual habits ("Did you drink your first glass of water today?", "Did you drink your second glass of water today?", etc).

For that issue, I'd propose a sort of sequential widget. Rather than having 8 1x1 widgets (or even a list of them in a big widget as proposed in another issue), it would be nice to have them be sequential, so when I checkoff glass #1, the widget then displays for glass #2. I think to avoid becoming unwieldy you'd have to go into the app to go backwards. For this exact purpose, something like numeric habits might work, and perhaps this presents a good widget intererface. However if you have a long list of habits that go in order in the morning for example, it might be nice to have them cycle through, even though they're not numerical per se.

I also would like to be able to switch habits based on time of day. Being able to show my morning habits (Brush teeth in the AM, Shower, Shave, Take medication...) in the same space as my afternoon/night habits later in the day (Brush teeth before bed, clean out catboxes, take out trash...) would be useful to keeping down clutter on my homescreen.

Thank you for the suggestion, @maxkorp. We are already working on something like you describe. Please have a look at #346.
