What's new in Taska

Once your workspace is connected and the events webhook is on, tasks from Slack @-mentions and DMs land within seconds instead of waiting for the next polling cycle. Same dedupe + cost-cap protection as the polling path; same telemetry; identical downstream behavior.

Taska can now receive Slack messages in near-real-time once your workspace points api.slack.com at our webhook. Bonus: every public page now has a custom social-share image — sharing a /vs/* or /changelog link will render a branded preview.

Subscribe to /changelog/feed.xml in your favorite RSS reader to get notified the moment something ships. Same content as this page, in RSS 2.0 format.

Honest, feature-by-feature comparisons vs Motion, Sunsama, Reclaim, Cal.com, and Todoist. We call out where each competitor wins — no marketing-team garbage. See /vs/motion to start.

A live status page at /status and this changelog at /changelog. Both no-auth, indexed, refreshable any time — transparency without a support ticket.

Email content is now wrapped in XML tags before being sent to the AI; the system prompt explicitly treats it as untrusted data. Also redacts PII (emails, phone numbers, SSN-shaped patterns) from logs.

Transient confirmation toasts when you create / accept / decline. Every task extracted from email or a meeting now shows "Extracted from <sender>" right under the title.

New accounts see a six-item activation checklist on Today. Empty Stats / Activity / Bookings pages now show labeled examples instead of generic empty states — you see what a feature does before you have data.

New /bookings page in the sidebar — pending requests at the top, history underneath. Settings keeps the link config. Today shows a small "your booking link" nudge below the task list.

All three pages now have full mobile screens — calibration tile, source mix, time-of-day heatmap, pending booking requests, sample previews. Same data, native components.

Dropped the serif display face for a single modern sans (Geist) across web + mobile. Display feel comes from size + weight + tracking, not a font switch. One fewer font request per page; cleaner overall.

The left rail (and your sign-out button) now stays pinned while the main page scrolls. Long Settings tabs and long Activity feeds no longer hide the user footer.

Ask Ally lives in a floating drawer (⌘J) reachable from any page, not a dedicated route. Conversational mode is a peek, not a destination.

Four new sections on Stats: how much time the AI deflected this month, how much rolls over yesterday → today, where your tasks come from, and when you actually get them done.

Settings was a long scroll. Now it's six tabs (Account / Connections / Briefs & schedule / Notifications / Team / Data & privacy), URL-state driven so deep-links work.

Log how long a task actually took after you finish it. After five samples, Stats shows whether you run over or under predicted estimates — and by how much.

A 30-second audio rundown of your day at the start of the morning. At day's end, an evening summary of what you finished and what rolled over.

Share one URL; people pick a slot from your free windows. Requests land on Today as they come in. Accept lands them on your calendar.
