I cannot do anything else when I want to find context in Clickup when a task is open.

Dear ClickUp Team, I am writing to provide detailed technical feedback regarding the loading performance of the Workload and Gantt views. While I greatly appreciate the depth of functionality in ClickUp 4.0, the current load times for complex projects create significant friction in my daily workflow. I would like to propose a specific architectural solution for your consideration. The Problem Currently, navigating to the Workload or Gantt view results in a prolonged "white screen" delay and choppy scrolling behavior. Upon reviewing network activity in DevTools, I observed that the initial JavaScript payload and associated task data can reach upwards of 20MB+. · Impact: For teams like mine that manage hundreds of active projects, this latency renders quick daily check-ins nearly impossible. The high cost of context switching (waiting for the view to become interactive) forces users to revert to external spreadsheets just for speed. · Specific Pain Point: The main thread becomes bottlenecked during the heavy JavaScript execution and data hydration phase, degrading the overall user experience. Proposed Solution I strongly recommend integrating WebAssembly (Wasm) as a dedicated compute engine specifically for the rendering and logic of the Workload and Gantt modules. · Data Processing in Wasm: Offload intensive calculations—such as timeline collision detection, dependency graph resolution, and "Remaining Time" metrics—from JavaScript to Wasm (compiled from Rust or Go). · Efficient Data Loading: Implement a Wasm-based streaming parser to incrementally deserialize the 20MB payload, rather than waiting for the browser's JS engine to parse the entire monolithic file upfront. · Canvas Rendering: Utilize Wasm to manage Canvas draw calls. This would enable 60fps scrolling and zooming, bypassing the performance limitations of traditional DOM manipulation for the chart area. Technical Feasibility This proposal aligns well with ClickUp 4.0's existing modern Angular and micro-frontend architecture. · Stack Alignment: WebAssembly modules integrate seamlessly via standard browser APIs and can be lazy-loaded as separate, cacheable chunks to minimize the impact on the initial application bundle. · Maturity: This approach is already production-proven by industry leaders. Figma uses Wasm for rendering engine performance, and Google Sheets relies on Wasm for calculation speed. The technology is mature and supported across all modern browsers. · Implementation Path: The team could de-risk this initiative by first migrating the Time Calculations & Sorting logic to Wasm. This would provide an immediate, high-impact performance win before undertaking a full Canvas rendering overhaul. Expected Impact · Payload Efficiency: Wasm binaries compress more efficiently than equivalent JavaScript. The compute-heavy logic payload could shrink from megabytes to just a few hundred kilobytes. · Perceived Performance: I estimate this could reduce Time-to-Interactive (TTI) for these views by 60-70% , making the switch between views feel near-instantaneous. · Scalability: This enhancement would empower teams to visualize 10,000+ tasks with smooth, native-like responsiveness, eliminating the risk of browser tab freezing. Thank you for your time and for building such a powerful platform. I hope this specific, technical feedback is helpful for the roadmap planning of future performance updates. Best regards, Sk W

Title. When using modal view for tasks, you "jump back" only until you hit a task, at which point you need to exit the task (which it considers "going forward"). Then, when you hit back, it re-opens that task again. Mildly inconvenient, but largely frustrating.

There should be provided 'Go Back' and 'Go Forward' buttons ON TOP of Clickup (as well as their keyboard shortcuts) - to point to previous & Next ACCESSED Note's location. Also should provide 'UNDO' & 'REDO' buttons on TOP of clickup, near 'go back' and 'go forward' buttons.

I want to be able to select multiple lists and move/archive them in bulk. Especially after an import that creates a bunch of lists.

Being able to add the 'Assigned to Me' tasks list as a favourite so it can be pinned to the top bar, instead of having to create a seperate dashboard for it.

I just updated to the latest version and was unpleasantly surprised find out that there's an app icon on the Mac menu bar that cannot be hidden. While this is a valuable feature for a lot of users who requested this feature, it should be configurable so that users who don't it this on the menu bar can hide it. Now every time I have Clickup open (pretty much anytime that I'm working) I have the Clickup icon taking up valuable menu bar space.

I have Notepad pinned to my toolbar. Before the change to 4.0, the Notepad icon was accessible in modal task view. The icon remains accessible in full screen and sidebar task view layout in 4.0; it's only modal that doesn't show it. The N or P keyboard shortcut does not work on that view, either, despite working elsewhere. I heavily use Notepad to store self-made text templates to copy and paste into task comments since comment/text-only template types are not currently supported in ClickUp. Since 4.0, I have to click out of modal task view to access the Notepad, copy the note, open the task, and paste it in.

When hovering over a pinned favorite, the unpin icon appears. This leads to accidentally clicking "unpin" and removing it.

Hi ClickUp Team, I’d love to have an option to always show completed (closed) subtasks by default when opening a task. Currently, I have to click “Show closed” every time, which slows down my workflow. It would be great to have a setting or preference to make completed subtasks always visible in the task view. Thank you for considering this feature!
