MyTimes 1.0 - Google Reader iPad Client

Introducing MyTimes, my first iPad app submitted.  MyTimes now in the app store. Have an iPad?  Use Google Reader?  Check it out here.

TaskPaper

I’ve always been an equal-opportunity task app-er.  I’m very picky about how I manage projects and I will always go out of my way to try a new application to see if it fits what I like to do a little better.  I’ve tried ToodleDo, Things for Mac and am currently using Remember The Milk.  All of them have gotten fairly close to how I like to organize my tasks, but Remember The Milk got the closest with the better OTA sync, great user experience and a good iPhone app.  It didn’t have a native mac app, so I built MilkMaid to fill that void and it’s worked great so far.  

The other day I came across a task application called TaskPaper.  I was very intrigued by the concept.  No set ways of doing things, a ton of freedom and a great interface that provides a great user experience.  I recommend checking it out, even if you are happy with MilkMaid and Remember The Milk.  It’s so simple, yet so powerful.  You can watch the screencast here.  The only thing that it’s really lacking is the idea of dates and recurring tasks, but there are workarounds that I’ve discovered.

So if you’ve been wondering why MilkMaid was releasing almost every other day and suddenly stopped, it’s because I’m testing out TaskPaper.  What does this mean for future development of MilkMaid?  Absolutely nothing.  I’m just testing out TaskPaper and seeing how I like it and I’ll go from there.  

I’ll be posting some scripts and themes that I’m using for TaskPaper in the next couple days (including an RTM2Taskpaper script to migrate your tasks if you want to test out TaskPaper with your existing tasks).

MilkMaid 0.7.6

When I released the Jump To Tag feature I wasn’t really happy with it because I wasn’t sure how to integrate viewing tags into the app and the feature that I built felt sort of like a hack.  In 0.7.6 I think I’ve found a good solution for viewing tags; they now show up in the drop down list.  I’m not sure everybody uses tags like I do (tag per project), so I’ve put in the ability to turn that off.  Here’s the changelist:

Features

• Add tags to drop down list

Changes

• Preference to show tags in drop down
• Removed Jump To Tag

Bug Fixes

• Crash when preferences window closed
