Feature request

Amazing app, I’m using as a todo list but it would be nice if I could create a whole weeks worth of cards so I’m not doing it everyday
* double tap and there’s an option to add it to a certain day
- this would probably make the repeat buggy but if you can find a way to make it work, that would be amazing

Helps me keep things in mind

This is exactly what I need to help me keep my goals and the steps to achieve them on my mind so I don’t forget. I use it to just kind of swipe through a stack of the most important tasks and even though I am not doing them yet, I am still reminded of them without being stressed out by a huge list of to-do items since they are presented one at a time. Also, thumbing through them provides a physical mechanic that helps somehow as well.
