Adding a vote for this. AT has been great for my purpose of breaking tasks down and establishing dependency chains, but all the resulting subtasks can be overwhelming to take in, visually and cognitively. I’ve used Queries to narrow and sort my subtasks by properties like actionability, urgency, and importance, but even a well-ordered list can be a bit much to digest when I’m feeling stressed and scattered. Grid view is helpful for shortening the list to the top 10, but I suspect it would be much more helpful for me to see only the top 3, maybe 5 at most. (I picked those numbers because they felt right, but then I noticed the OP also suggested “maybe 3-5 items.”)
While I think the best option would be allowing the user to specify any custom number, if for some reason only pre-set numbers are possible, then I would like at the very least 3 and 5. But more options than that would certainly be welcome, especially under 10.
Apparently @pomp does!
I’m linking that here because it’s essentially the same request, just in the opposite direction. Both would be met if a custom number option were added.
