I'm a cosplayer and I've been using Progress Tracker (by Progress Tracker in Google Play) for almost a year now to keep track of the costumes I make. But lately it's been pissing me off everyday by lagging; making me turn on notifications when I open it and after then not opening at all, making me reinstall it every time; not showing completed tasks even when the filter shows 'all'.

I've been looking at alternatives but by now I haven't found any that would have the things I like while still being free. In Progress Tracker I liked that:

* it had unlimited task hierarchy (I could create sub-tasks for main tasks, and then sub-tasks for those initial sub-tasks, etc. etc.);

* it would show me a progress with percentage according to the amound of tasks/sub-tasks I ticked off (the progress bar was for every single task if it had sub-tasks but the alternative can have just an overall progress bar);

* I could pick a deadline and a starting date;

* it would show me how many days are left, and how many tasks i need to complete a day to make it in time (though the latter it's not that neccessary, just a nice bonus).

I'm not using MS Office/Google products for that purpose because they take up much more storage and, honestly, are not comfortable to view and especially use from a phone.

The app doesn't have to be cosplay-related, it just needs to have most of the features listed above. Anyone got recommendations of the apps they use? Thanks in advance 🙏

What apps are you using to tick off the stages of making your handmade cosplay? I've been using Progress Tracker (by Progress Tracker in Google Play) for almost a year now but lately it's been pissing me off everyday by lagging; making me turn on notifications when I open it and after then not opening at all, making me reinstall it every time; not showing completed tasks even when the filter shows 'all'.

Hi there! This is probably a pretty hard and abstract question but I'll try to explain it as much as I can.

I have this kind of love for experimenting, I love trying new techniques when making a cosplay. If I succeed in making a piece with a technique – great! If I don't, well, it's okay and at least I had fun. But recently more and more, – since I started actively finding and following more and more local and non-local cosplayers, – I finish some piece of mine but then I watch their progress photos/videos, see an interesting technique (for example, they made a golden accessory literally out of melted metal, or they crocheted something out of embroidery floss!) and want to try it for myself. But my piece is already finished! It's not bad but it could be so much better if I used that other technique. Sure, I could just remake it but in the long run, if I do that often, it's just gonna be a waste of materials, time and money. It would be better if I'm in the process of planning, I could just look through a databse for inspiration for a technique to be used on a specific piece of costume.

So I was wondering: is there some kind of online list or database that has listed all the techniques that have been or could be used to make a cosplay clothing/prop/accessory, etc.? Probably even divided in some kinds of categories like fabric (appliqué, smocking, etc.), crochet (amigurumi, doily, etc.), metall working, etc. etc. My categorization is very messy but just so that you know what I mean.

I've been trying to make my own database but searching for new techniques which I don't know of and categorizing them is not that simple as it seems, and it's gonna take several years with my pace. Having an already existing database would be great.
