- I love workflowy and this authors calendar/tickler workflowy timeline system. I have only tried using this extension today, after using the system manually in workflowy for a few months. This extension is really good for a calendar overview and showing the number of tasks, along with the today view and feels similar to a google calendar view. There is a date/time bug. I am using it from New Zealand in linux (helium browser) 1) The current date in the current calendar view is one day behind. Eg Today is Friday 25, but the selected 'today default' is Thursday 24 2) If I try to alt click to move a reoccurring task forward as per the time annotation it moves it to the day ahead of that. Eg A reoccurring chore to complete on tuesday r:tue, will move it to the day in advance, eg monday. So the alt+click function is not working as intended for myself. This addon is a bonus for the system I already use and not a huge problem to move things manually by drag and drop.
