Putting Things Back Where They Belong
Moved a pile of menu items out of the "Me" tab and into their natural homes — Calendar and Checklist.
Putting Things Back Where They Belong
Fecit has five tabs, and the “Me” tab (Achiever) had become a junk drawer. Daily routines, daily reviews, weekly reviews, bucket list, statistics, streaks, achievements, settings, friends…
The thing is — daily routines and reviews aren’t really about me. They’re about the calendar and the tasks. But because they lived under “Me,” people had to hunt for them.
Today I cleaned it up.
Moved into the Calendar menu
- Daily Routine (the schedule alarm)
- Daily Review
- Weekly Review
All three are tied to time and date, so they belong inside the Calendar tab’s menu.
Moved into the Checklist menu
- Bucketlist (someday-maybe items)
It’s an extension of the checklist concept, so it belongs there.
Newly added
- D-Day — an infinite-scroll list of every task with a start date, formatted as D-N. Open the screen and “Today” is always anchored at the top.
And icons
I added a small icon next to each menu item. With text alone, the items felt visually flat; with a small icon, they read at a glance. Flag (D-Day), schedule icon, retrospect icons, info icon.
The result
The “Me” tab got lighter, and the Calendar and Checklist menus got meaningfully fuller. The same features, just in places where you’d actually look for them.
Often, moving an existing feature to its right home makes a bigger difference to the user experience than building a new one.
