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).
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.
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:
Another short (but sweet) update:
- You can now drag items from one list to another
- You can now re-order, via drag & drop, all lists
- You can drag & drop items from lists to the Trash bin
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 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.
…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.
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.
… are accessible at beta.everywhereToDos.com:
- Slightly new design
- Collaborative lists
- 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.
