Being able to add tasks on the gantt and timeline views is fantastic for project planning. For management meetings or simplicity while putting the plan together, it would be extremely helpful to use color coding that differs from the status.
As a feature, it would be great if I could choose the category field for setting the color on the Gantt and Timeline views. For example, I want to visualize the different teams working on the project at the same time. So one half of my items might be for team 1 and the other half for team 2. This helps me plan what teams are working on in a single view as well as catch possible problems with the plan.
