Hi, I must say I'm puzzled by the fact apparent difficulty that seems to be associated with this task - frankly, every single task manager I've used lately worked this way, displaying a task/todo on its due date in my calendar (than came Android and plunged me straight back into the dark ages). Unfortunately I can't quote every source I no longer remember, but here's at least one screenshot as a witness of how another browser-based client (Everdroid) does the same thing: the blurred tags are birthday events, I left the single Todo event due on 30th unblurred - it's visibly treated the same as an event that day, even the smaller top-left calendar highlights the 30th just because it has a todo due that day. My previous phone, a Samsung 7110 with Symbian did the exact same thing - it highlighted the day just as if it had an event, and displayed the todo text in a floating tooltip if I selected that day - I can get a screenshot of that too, if you need one (actually, the Samsung went even a step further - it had an "list of upcoming events" on its default screen which included both events and due tasks - but it only started showing them a week before they were due, which was incomparably more helpful than simply showing a full list at all times, even if the first thing is half a year away - I would have to expend effort to realize that). I have to say again, for me this industry standard behavior - I'm sure not all software does this, but the ones I've been using certainly all did... - Attila

Hi Johan,
I understand but I still not like this approach ... if there is something I need to do, I must see it not only today but also if I switch to the next week (especially if during the next week is the deadline). The question when I switch the view is: "what I need to do next week?", so there is no reason to not show the todo (if it is not completed).
Showing it only today is something like "you must to do it today", what is not true in general (because it has a deadline which is very probably NOT today).

Hi Ján,
5.) you change the view to the next week (2015-02-16 - 2015-02-22) => we must show the "floating todos" in the interface somewhere ...
I think this is where the misunderstanding comes from.
If a floating event has a starting date in the future, it should be shown only on the starting date. It behaves as an ordinary, future, all-day event.
If a floating event has a starting date in the past, and is not yet completed, it should only be shown on todays date. It behaves as if it were an ordinary all-day event scheduled today.
If a floating event has been completed, it is no longer shown at all. (Or possibly only on the date it was completed for archival purposes).
So if you change the view to next week, no floating events need to be shifted in confusing ways.
