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.

Overall the design is way too cluttery. The very first thing I noticed is the lack of whitespace and poor text hierarchy which makes just looking at it feel like work.
Secondly, I feel like there are way too many menu options readily available, and not the ones that would make the software convenient to use. I feel like I'm constantly having to search for basic features among other features that I would only need for super specific situations. It would be so much better if the software was way more minimalistic from the start with the option to build out more specialized features, workspaces, and workflows depending on what your team needs. I would love to use clickup because of the features, but I feel like I'm using just as much brain power mentally deciphering what I'm looking at on clickup than if I were to just manually recreate the features in a more simple software, add in the learning curve and it's a no go. I can't imagine trying to teach my team to efficiently use it.

ClickUp can be pretty intimidating
especially
for those new to project management platforms (a surprising number of people). It's also really hard for people to grasp the power of "Tasks In Multiple Lists" (which needs better branding like "Task Mirroring" or "Task Aliasing" or something that clicks in people's brains most of whom are stuck in 90s computing paradigms).Cleaning up the UI will make a big difference (which I've used 4.0 and I don't know it's what everyone is hoping), but at the end of the day, an app/platform like ClickUp is just going to have a learning curve.
FWIW the reason I decided to go all-in on ClickUp was because of its ease-of-use to power ratio. I've used a lot of software in my day and ClickUp blows everything else out of the water. Definitely not perfect, but one of the best out there.

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

Worth improving the UI for “send email to task”. Please!
