I plan to solve this use case similar to Trello. For individual tasks,
the user will be able to add a checklist of items that must get checked
off to complete the task.

I've uploaded an initial version of separate lists - which I'm currently
calling categories based on the implementation - today:

That's what I'm planning on doing.

Right now I'm currently trying to figure out how to cleanly have both
priority and labels in the UI.

That would be really nice to have!

Perhaps instead of tags, there could simply be categories, like I have
currently, and the different lists simply be categories? Then I'd add
the ability to have multiple categories assigned to each task, so tasks
could be in multiple lists.

If I do this, I'd then have labels (tags) that are specific to each
category. So for example, a programming project could have the labels
"Bug", "Feature", and "Discussion", while the Shopping Lists list could
have the labels "Grocery Store", "Hardware Store", etc. The problem with
individual labels is how would they work when a task with labels is in
multiple categories?


Thanks for all the feedback, it is very much appreciated!
