Show all unscheduled tasks in the right pane while in Calendar view
One point that separates your app from others is that we can easily schedule the tasks into the calendar, but I was disappointed to find out that I had to manually link every note/tag with a task domain so that the unscheduled tasks can show up on the sidebar of the calendar.
This design makes linking tasks to the calendar (and therefore the scheduling work that follows) unnecessarily difficult, especially since your way of linking is to go to a separate section and input the name of the notes/tags one by one. What if I already have 576 notes and 49 tags? This design is self-sabotaging and reduces the incentive for new users to switch to your platform.
There are 2 ways to solve this problem:
1) allow all unscheduled tasks to show in the right pane while in Calendar view;
2) make linking notes/tags to a task domain as easy & fast as possible. For example, allow users to directly link a tag or a note to a domain when editing them (offer this option in the menu).

Lucian AdminHey there CT! Just to clarify - you can use the Settings menu to associate a Tag with a Task Domain - for example "#calendar". Then, you can simply tag every note (that has tasks you want to see on the calendaR) with your "#calendar" tag. I believe this satisfy part of number 2 that you describe above.
The other part of number 2 would be solved if it were easier to add a tag to a Task Domain. This is actually a very good idea and I encourage you to submit a separate feature request for this. The reason I think it should be a separate request is because I want to keep the conversation about "showing all tasks on the calendar" separate (eg in this thread) and to help centralize as many specific feature requests as possible into individual threads.
Number 1 in your post above is about showing all unscheduled tasks in the calendar sidebar. I'm skeptical that the majority of users would leverage this particular feature, but submitting a separate request would help verify that. -

Lucian AdminAs a side note - and I think I've mentioned this before in a different reply to a similar message - it is rather easy to automatically have all (relevant) tasks be forwarded to the calendar:
1. You can use #daily-jots as an "inbox" and add that tag to your Task Domain; this forwards all of your "quick tasks" to the calendar
2. You can use a "#projects" tag for your notes that contain actionable tasks and add this tag to your Domain too;
Together, these two steps (which require no maintenance for Jots which are automatically tagged and minimal maintenance for projects) ensure you don't miss anything on your calendar.
