New Year, New Features: Backlinks, Team Folders, My Tasks Filter, and More!

Hi Taskaders 👋

Happy new year! We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your trust and support. And thanks for being a part of the Taskade community.

We spent the last 12 months working hard to make Taskade better for you and your team and here are a few new exciting updates to kick off 2023. 🎉

🧠 Backlinks

The new 🔗 Backlinks Menu lets you build your own second brain in a few clicks! Create a network of interconnected tasks, thoughts, and projects.

Here's how it works:

Type @ + project title to link projects together. You can also "Copy Link" for a task or project in the 📝 Share Menu and paste the hyperlink manually.
Click the "Backlinks" button at the top of the project you're editing. Taskade will show you all @mentions (backlinks) leading to the project.
Finally, select an existing backlink to quickly jump to the connected task and project. And that's it! Learn more

👩‍💻 Team Folders

You can now give workspace members access to team folders instantly. Set a folder to public or private with the new permissions system so they can be editable by all workspace members, viewable, or invite only. Learn more
