UI Improvements
building now
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.

As of last week, the latest update made the column labels on kanban boards impossible to read (white on pastel). Please fix.

Please do something to create more space for viewing the tasks, and enable the accordion feature for different sections. For example, this section here, which is hardly used, but takes up a lot of space.

Not sure if this is the place to leave feedback on 4.0 UI? One thing I've always thought was lacking on the UI, was an immediate indication of who a space, folder, subfolder, list etc is shared with. ie a visual indiciation by profile pics or team icons who the particular hierachy is shared with. See below

My vote is simplify then make it 10X more simple than that. I've already mapped a design for support, but my guess is it was never shared. The chat makes things far worse ---we are constantly missingTh each other's chats, getting alerts letting us know a chat came in, but either taking minutes or days to find the chat, and in some cases completely missing chats. I'm tired after months of using chat of team members saying they never got the chat... it slows us down like crazy. We need to be talking abut work, and instead we are talking about how much we hate ClickUp. But there needs to be a workmode --- where team members have access and view of NOTHING but their own tasks.. not view of all the trappings and settings buttons, or video chat buttons, no lefthand bar.... just a single, utlra-simple black/white to do list that allows filtering across all tasks, not by list. It needs to be stupid dumb... like a list on a piece of paper. Think Google Keep. Zero opportunity for formatting. Then LEAN principles need to be applied like those applied by the Toyota Production System for productivity. Manufacturing companies have perfected productivity over the last 70 years. Throughput is the goal ClickUp! GET WORK DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't want to watch 10 videos... needs to be intuitive... zero friction!
Give two hours and I will give feedback to Clickup that will quadruple productivity. Ironically 90% of it is eliminating all the inefficiences they added, so we would just be getting back square one.

Totally agree
Simplicity and UX must be improved, especially mobile
Sonia Roselli
agree, its so much to look at

I find the ClickUp 3.0 UI to be cluttered and not polished enough. Here are my suggestions:
Limit the number of elements on the main screen to 7 ± 2 to avoid overwhelming users (Miller’s Law).
Implement collapsible menus and sections for features that are used less than 20% of the time.
Group related functions into a maximum of 5-7 primary categories to enhance usability (Hick’s Law).
Ensure all UI elements follow a consistent style guide. Use a maximum of 3 font sizes and 3 color variations for text and backgrounds.
Adopt a minimalist design approach, reducing elements to their essential functions, and applying a grid system for alignment.

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.
