UI Improvements
in progress
Andy Johnston
Click up has great features. But, it's UI is messy and cluttered. Way too much repetition, and poor text hierarchy. If you feel the same way, please use this feed to add in your own UI critiques and hopefully they will listen, and give us a refresh.
Example 1 - The inbox.
The inbox useful in theory, but I find it unusable in practice. Why are dates written as full strings including the year repeated again and again? I am already informed above these tasks what the month is. I find it pretty easy to guess what the year is, and I certainly don't need told what century we're in, and not again and again for every tasks beginning and end date! I find it extremely hard to get a quick sense of what I am looking at. Even dates written in alphabetic style would be easy. Like 7th Jul - 8th Aug. If the month is written above, does it need to be on the task as well?
Similarly, I have named my lists according to the project title. In this view, it is very hard to see the project title easily. This means I have a long list of tasks but it's hard for me to quickly see which projects they relate to. I rarely add project names to my task titles because this would also be unnecessary duplication.
Please redesign this page so that the principle information is clearly visible and extraneous information and repetition is removed.

Needs a background colour/image uploade to make the tasks stand out !!!!

Worst part about this new update is I can barely see in Calendar view anymore, because of all the bars at the top.

Totally agree. Espeically 3.0
One of the most frustrating things is is how much navigation, menu's and headers there are. They literally take up a third of my entire workspace especially in docs.
Are FOUR menu items REALLY necessary? Can you PLEASE simplify this down to like one or MAYBE two? In docs, the menu's take up 2x as much space in 3.0 than they do in 2.0
The 1/2 menus on the left (depending on what view you're in) are okay. I still have to shrink the left menu so I can have more space to actually get work done.
3.0 UI is NOT an upgrade - had to switch back to 2.0 almost immediately. Please make improvements and keep us posted.

It seem that there are so many repetitions...
In the view of the folder, you see the name of the task twice. WHY?
When you access a doc from a folder, why would you take all that space to show me where it it....TWICE?
James Hogg
A little confused with UI direction:
why has 3.0 web moved to separating all content to tabs (Details, Subtasks and Action Items), whilst mobile 3.0 has shifted in opposite direction moving small icons for subtasks, checklist items to have all this content in one single view? Surely web has more screen space to fit more content in one single view, especially if you don't waste a quarter of my top of screen by spreading out the Status, Assigned to, Dates and Tags in a design change that seems completely unnecessarily. Mobile 3.0 has made these common fields really clean and compact at top, which is all that is needed. The Status, Assigned To, Dates, Priority etc are especially awful if you use sidebar view with half the screen height used for these handful of fields.

James Hogg: I second your idea. I think Task View 3.0 is a good improvement, but I'm all for less clutter.
Those containers on mobile make it easy to identify them as secondary bits of important information.
Guy Mannerings
James Hogg: I personally prefer it as tabs.
The 2.0 way involved too much scrolling, and it was way too easy to miss information that was off-screen.
I would prefer a hybrid approach on mobile where you can scroll down or click tabs and it takes you to the same section.

Made a post requesting animated UI improvements for board view.
Attached is a preview of my mockup.

When commenting on a task can you clean up the reaction to only be in one location? I find the UI to have quite a bit extra space...compact it more. Or give me the option to have the Cozy, Compact, or Comfort

I felt the same way, although I couldn't articulate it as well as you did! I just knew that I felt messy and cluttered even though we had gotten everything super organized in our ClickUp instance. In Asana, for the most part everything felt clean and easy to navigate. Here, it's just... cluttered? I don't know a better word for it. Our UX design team is dying to get their hands on the layout in ClickUp, LOL!
To be fair, the functionality is absolutely amazing, and a huge upgrade from Asana. So while the interface is frustrating, I understand with the aggressive roadmap how this was missed as impatient customers are anxious to have things rolled out :-).

Lauren Perfors: I'm the same as you, I just can't figure out why but every time i look at ClickUp no matter what I do and how hard i try it feels cluttered and messy, my brain hurts.
