Reminders

features — Paul Griffin Petty on September 22, 2008

This week we’re adding another highly requested feature.  I thunk it’s aptly titled “Daily Journal” though most folks might think of it as Reminders.  It boils down to this: in preferences you can opt to receive a daily journal of your ToDos (and Lists).  The email will get sent out once a day at 5a.m.

 

In the future …

The look & feel of that email will improve.  You’ll be able to set a specific frequency & time of day to have your journal sent.

 

Note that this feature shouldn’t be confused with another upcoming feature: Alerts.  Alerts will be like an alarm clock on a per ToDo basis.  Alerts are valuable … hopefully the Daily Journal will be just as useful.  Also, we snuck in a few other tweaks this week (mostly design & what we hope are user experience improvements).

 

New Features

Finally, some new features … nothing really big, though:

  • Emailing to you everywheretodos.com address now let’s the Body of the email become the Todo’s Notes (currently the Subject of the Email is the actual ToDo task)
  • Emailing with a Subject beginning with “list:” creates a list instead of a ToDo; and the body of that email can generate a set of list items (where each new line in the body is a ToDo task).
  • The iPhone experience is being overhauled & what’s available now is much better than the old version — but still has a little work to be done
  • New improved Add List functionality lets you add the list & the list’s items — quickly
  • After deleting a List, you have the same Undelete option as you currently do for list items
  • Some small design enhancements, too

That’s it for now & probably for a few weeks too.

Bug Fixes

bug fixes — Paul Griffin Petty on

Ouch … bugs suck; but at leas with your help they are being addressed.

Here’s some recent progress:

  • Items in your INBOX can now be dragged & dropped to other lists
  • Signing In provides better error feedback for bad user names & passwords
  • Email publishing of ToDos is much faster & more reliable

There are also a few new features to check out (see the other post from today for details).

Please leave any comments & questions below, regarding the privacy policy and terms of service.

Right now, as it stands, these are fairly vague — if not absent — so let us know about your concerns:

List Management Improvements

features — Paul Griffin Petty on August 11, 2008

Another short (but sweet) update:

  1. You can now drag items from one list to another
  2. You can now re-order, via drag & drop, all lists
  3. You can drag & drop items from lists to the Trash bin

Lists and Email

features — Paul Griffin Petty on

Not to be confused with Email and ToDos, which lets you add ToDos by just sending an email.

Now, while viewing a list just click on the i next to a list name & you can send an email to a list of recipients (along with a message).  The list and other useful information will appear in the email too.

A new look

design, features, news — Paul Griffin Petty on August 8, 2008

A small number of features, tweaks & bug fixes were rolled out today.  Also, the overall design was re-worked to help save space on pages for the lists & to make way for some other upcoming features (more on that later).

Enjoy.

Collaborative Lists

features — Paul Griffin Petty on

…it’s a feature.

Now you can share a list and let others add items.  They’ll need a “key” which you set; from your list.  Just click the i next to your list; make it collaborative by checking that particular box.  Set your password & start sharing.

We’ll be adding a feature soon, to allow easy & direct emailing from your list.

This feature is great for showers, shopping lists & a whole lot more.  Leave a comment with your feedback and suggestions for other places this might be useful.

Important Feature Change

features, important — Paul Griffin Petty on

When using the “Edit in Place” functionality … 

Previously, this was done by single clicking a ToDo item;

Now, you have to Double Click items.

 

A demo video will be posted soon.  The background on this change revolves around related bugs that had to be resolved; and this — for some strange reason — was the only way.  If it can resolved in another way single vs. double clicking to edit will become a preference.

Upcoming Features

beta, features — Paul Griffin Petty on July 8, 2008

… are accessible at beta.everywhereToDos.com:

  1. Slightly new design
  2. Collaborative lists
  3. Better iPhone experience
What does beta mean anyway?  Honestly: more bugs (and more features).
When will the beta launch?  The features are locked and loaded so when the bugs are resolved, it’s done.
