Nice!
I made something similar (although web based) but much simpler years ago to suit my planning, which is still in use by many others.

Re: WeekToDo – Free Minimalist Weekly Planner App
#62The presence of (a billion) apps like this make me feel like in another timeline they figured out some kind of simple, mostly text, very limited programming language/markup that's somewhere between HTML and (Turing Complete) Javascript, maybe Hypercard-esque?

#63Earlier quoted context omitted.
A benefit of teuxdeux is that they charge $2 a month with the intention of putting the funds to maintaining the site and not having to sell the company.
$3/month. Maybe it changed recently? Edit: we're kind of both right. $3/month, or $24/year.
Yeah, I was quoting the annual fee. After having a few apps acquired and disappeared (e.g., wunderlist acquired by ms), I liked their strategy of charging just enough to stay independent.

#65With respect, why is the /privacy/ aspect so important in a planner app that you've chosen to market it as an important feature? I actually want my planner to be public! Makes the appointments/meeting plans process simpler. Also, while I'm not a big fan of integrating every other thing into gmail, I actually rather like that recent updates in gmail which have calendar/planner on the side, I think they've got the righ…
It's about the choice rather than forcing to be locked into someone having the ability to know literally what you are going to do next.

#66This is actually incredible! I think we should push for web apps more and more, it'll help for convergence between platforms. Do you have a timeline for when this will look good on mobile phones?
Re: WeekToDo – Free Minimalist Weekly Planner App
#67Nice work. This isn't your fault, but it's inspiring a tangent. It's so strange, but I hate being so spoiled for choice. The main thing I miss about software from 20 years ago is that there were rarely more than two or three answers to the "which software should I use?" question. By today's standards, the tools we had were subpar. But it was easier to tell the best of the "worst" from the worst of the best. I recall…
While I agree part of that was being that there were fewer options, there's also just more complexity these days. I consider things like: * Does this synchronize to other devices? * Does this support the device(s)/OS(es) I want to use it on? * Does this integrate to other applications I use? * Is this likely to contain malware, or could it in the future? * Does it require me running my own infrastructure, or can I pa…
Thank you, its a great check list

#68I disabled update check but it still wants to connect to the internet after it has been open for a while. Why does it want to do that? For those who are looking for the code: https://github.com/Zuntek/WeekToDoWeb
If you enter in the web version and open the dev console you can see that it's trying to pull the sponsors and contributors.

#69I'll quickly plug my current to do solution: a pinned Google Keep note with a daily reminder that's pushed to my devices at 7am. I already use Keep for my grocery list and other things, so this way I don't need Yet Another App. It's on all my devices, it's got lists and checkboxes and reminders, and the UI is simple and responsive (which tbh wasn't always true, Keep speed and stability sucked for a long time but it's…
I like your solution.
About the last thing, I read something a time ago about every time you have an input you should see if this is important and if it's urgent. Is it's important and urgent you should do it, if it's important but not urgent you'd should scheduled. If it's not important you can delegate that, and if it's not important or urgent you should delete that. I thing the idea it's focus in what is important and don't fill the calendar whit a lot of tasks
