Improved Navigation and Sorting Options

We've made some UI improvements to Free Todo List that enhance usability while keeping the interface clean and focused.

Streamlined Navigation

The action buttons on list pages have been reorganized to reduce visual clutter. Previously, each action (Edit, Delete, RSS, Markdown, Share) had its own button, which could become overwhelming, especially on mobile devices.

Now, these actions are consolidated into a single dropdown menu, making the interface cleaner while keeping all functionality easily accessible. The most common actions remain just one click away, and everything is logically grouped for easier discovery.

Enhanced Sorting Options

The sorting controls have been redesigned with more clarity and flexibility:

  • Explicit Sort Directions: Each sort method now has dedicated ascending and descending options with clear labels like Earliest first or Newest first
  • Current Sort Indicator: The active sort method is clearly displayed on the sort button
  • Default Sort Option: A new Default Sort option allows you to quickly reset to the original list order
  • Organized Categories: Sort options are now grouped by category with visual separators

These improvements make it easier to find and apply the exact sort order you need, especially for new users who might not be familiar with toggling between ascending and descending order.

Mobile Optimization

All interface elements have been optimized for mobile usage:

  • Reduced padding and margins where appropriate
  • Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes
  • Touch-friendly dropdown menus
  • Better text handling for long content

These changes ensure a consistent experience across all devices while making the most of available screen space.

Why These Changes Matter

A good user interface should be intuitive without sacrificing functionality. These improvements maintain all the features you rely on while making them easier to discover and use. The cleaner interface also leaves room for future features without overwhelming users.

We're committed to continuous, thoughtful improvements based on user feedback. If you have suggestions for other ways we can enhance your experience, please use the Feedback feature to let us know.
