just a quick feature request: i would love to see goals with 7 or more days of buffer be a different colour yet again to the 3+ day green. maybe a darker shade of green? (or have 3-6 days be a darker shade of green and 7+ be the now current regular green?)
why? because i strongly believe that it would be easier for my brain to aim for “greenmost colour buffer” rather than having to check the number of days … i cannot be sure of course, but i do believe that an additional colour would be more motivating. right now i’m happy to aim just for “green amounts of buffer” on my goals, but that means goals with 4 or 5 days of buffer get easily ignored or turn orange again … or it means i constantly fluctuate between blue and green because there’s less incentive for me to go up further (because the colour stays the same and urgency load is not an intuitive metric and not at all useful when just looking at one goal at a time).
I have advocated for this change in the past! I know it’s been given serious consideration but has not been implemented, which I have taken to mean that Danny and Bethany have decided it isn’t in line with Beeminder’s philosophy or would somehow make Beeminder less effective.
oh, interesting, i hadn’t realised that! crossing my fingers for grayson dots to spread out to grayson squares, as well ;) (around the goals and widgets, etc.)
wow, am I ever honored!
