Planning emergency days in advance

oh for sure, just wanted to make sure i understood the dilemma - having to click through 15 goal pages is certainly not the best of user experiences :smile:

i’m imagining a hypothetical table, maybe accessible via a tab on the goal gallery…
you’d have 1 row for each of your active goals.
the columns would be the next 7 days.
and inside each cell of the table would be the checkmark (if safe for that day) or the amount/total needed in order to be safe.

so you’d be presented with a big list and could scan down, say, tuesday, and see where you need to get more work done in order to not derail on anything before tuesday.

@drtall you’re right that beeminder isn’t currently smart enough to know whether derailing on saturday is “kosher” for a specific goal or not. but if you haven’t done enough to be safe by saturday, then you’re not actually maintaining the goal rate and you should be derailing :wink: (the annoying answer to the weekends-off request which is not wrong but doesn’t please people)

i have no idea if this is easy or hard to implement. but now that i invented it i totally want to see it!
