I built a weekly sprint planner for individuals

Hello all I know there are plenty of productivity apps. Still, I found myself using many different apps for my productivity needs: Todoist for tasks, calendar for time-blocking, a physical planner for weekly/quarterly/yearly planning, Day One for journaling, and Roam for notes. QTR is my attempt to blend these together. It's like Trello mishmashed with a calendar. You start with tasks for the year, and then drag them to different quarters, then zoom into a quarter to then drag tasks to weeks, and then zoom into a week to then drag tasks to days, and then zoom into a day to then drag tasks to time slots. This way you start with the big picture and then narrow down your focus step by step. The cool thing is these contexts (year, quarter, week, day, time) are all connected, so if you add a task directly to a day, it automatically also adds it to the week, quarter, and year. And each context comes with its own journal and notes, which means you can maintain separate journals and notes for daily, weekly, quarterly, and yearly (something you can't do in Day One). The other cool thing is when a task comes to mind, you don't have to assign a day to it. You can assign a week, month, quarter, or year. And you get a reminder when you get closer to the timeframe. Anyhow, I need a lot of feedback, and I'm hoping you all can help.
