    Appreciate the feedback. What do you like about Strongbox's model? Is it the availability of a lifetime plan?

    > The default shortcut conflicts with my window manager, so I cannot use it. Ah, interesting - may I ask what window manager you use? Is it the combination of CTRL+OPT that causes …

    That makes sense for a solo project, but there are three of us working on this so it's helpful to use CI/CD.

    Yes, I've wired it up to work with Github Actions so it's automatic now - but it wasn't easy.

    Yes, we have a mechanism to notify the user of updates and other important messages - they just show up like a special type of task (which can be marked done, or snoozed). It's che…

    Absolutely - with NowDo you just hit Ctrl+Opt+A (from any app) and type the task, hit enter - and then you can safely forget about it and get back to what you were doing. Making it…

    There are, what makes NowDo unique is that I've whittled the feature set down to an absolute minimum - based on over 2 years of prototyping and usage. With NowDo the lack of featur…

    There was a tool called "OneTask" about a decade ago that I really liked and which served as a lot of the inspiration for NowDo. Unfortunately its creators fell into the trap of ad…

    Thanks for the feedback, would it be better if the task was shown in the menu bar instead?
