Inbox speed/performance is great but here's some feedback
Joana Pereira
The speed is pretty fantastic, congratulations!
But here are a couple of things that will definitely not help on the productivity side:
1 - The fact that we have to click to open the notification. This will potentially mean thousands of clicks in a day, just to see what happened in a task. There should be a toggle button to have them all expanded by default or collapsed, so each user could choose their preference.
2 - The fact that if you don't have the "auto open sidebar" on, then you cannot open the task. This definitely needs to be changed: on an expanded notification, if we click on the notification title (task name) then the task should open.
3 - Breadcrumbs. We need to know from which list that notification is coming from, otherwise it is one more click we'll have to do.
4 - Messages vs activity: I get why this was divided. But from a productivity point of view (at least for me), it would be better to have the possibility to see messages AND activity on the same notification. Because, if I open a notification I want to see everything that happened on that particular task, not just the comments or activity. Otherwise, I need to: open notification, see the comment, open the task to check the other stuff that happened OR open the notification, see the comment, open the activity tab and search for the notification, open it and see what happened. Wouldn't it be much better if I could see everything at once when I open the notification? Maybe this is as simple as having a third tab on the top: "Messages"/"Activities"/"Messages and activities".

Thank you for all of the feedback, it is very helpful! I highly recommend upvoting and creating individual feature requests to help others provide their feedback as well!
I wanted to address some of your feedback directly too:
- Auto expand by default is smart, we'll look into it! I also wanted to share a tip of clearing an expanded notification group to be brought to the next automatically, as well as using up and down or J and K on your keyboard to navigate!
- We're working on adding this soon!
- Also planned! Please upvote here to follow along with the updates: https://clickup.canny.io/inbox-30-beta/p/add-location-and-parent-task-to-the-notification
- Please upvote this feature request, we're actively listening to feedback on this topic: https://clickup.canny.io/inbox-30-beta/p/dont-divide-messages-and-activity

The fact that I can't open the whole task when in non-fullscreen mode is pretty awful. I've resorted to sending it to the tray and then opening it from there.
Brendan W
Rob Leslie: We've pushed a fix for this!
Rob Leslie
Brendan W: Really appreciate it!
Brendan W
Rob Leslie: Of course, thank you for all of your feedback :)

This should probably be split out into different feature requests.

Adding to this: I really hope that the new task view allows to see the "details" and "activity" side by side... If the task view that is now available in the Inbox 3.0 is exactly the one that will be available throughout the whole workspaces, then it will be a problem...
Brendan W
Joana Pereira: Hey there! The sidebar mode you see in Inbox 3.0 is just 1 way to view task view, which will be available as part of task view 3.0.
You can choose between existing, fullscreen, and sidebar mode. Its just in Inbox 3.0 where you see sidebar mode only, as is for quickly peeking into the task details or activity!
Rob Leslie
Totally agree with all of this.
Jake DeGroot
Agreed with all these comments. Just came here to write basically the same thing.
