Oh gosh, you’re absolutely right. I am pushing a change so that the oldest dotted task is one that cannot have been marked as done, but can have been marked as worked on. See, alltom and my implementation swap out a lot of a forster list for a trueskill ranking algorithm to make evergreen tasks work, similarly to how you would just put an infinity mark next to a task on a sheet of paper. If you have suggestions on how we could rank them alternately, I’m going to move this discussion to this thread linked here. I appreciate all the feedback! I spent last night fixing a cloud bug that only affects users with a lot of todos, so I’m very glad that didn’t affect you and I squashed it before it arrived at anyone else. > [@Chain Scanner Web App Development and Feedback Thread](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/chain-scanner-web-app-development-and-feedback-thread/12840): > > Hello all! I am creating this thread to post any big developmental updates for the Chain Scanner web app, created based on an implementation designed by Beeminder forum user alltom based loosely upon forster lists. I am also collecting feedback here so it’s all in one separate place. For an explanation of how to use the app, please see the original Forster lists blog post, before opening the forum thread below, or open up my app to see how we implemented TrueSkill to serve up the next task, in… New thread for all feedback. Thank you so much for the feedback, I use this app on a daily basis so your feedback improving it directly makes my life better too, haha. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.beeminder.com/t/the-best-digital-implementation-of-forster-lists/12807)._
