With that said I don't think markdown/taskpaper/unstructured plain text is the perfect solution and have moved away from that approach with Bike. And it is valuable, it's great that you can open your markdown file in pretty much any markdown app and edit it. The idea that the content saved to disk is exactly the same as what you see in the UI is very appealing. Over the years I've designed for plain text and markdown in my apps. HTML, markdown or plain text are suitable formatsĮach has its place and benefits and drawbacks. And Bike does that well, I just like how it feels. Again I'm more interested in a "thinking space" than in a "tracking space" for my own use. Also for my particular use cases it's better in many respects. It's not as capable as TaskPaper yet, but I'm the developer so I need to be using it. Yes, right now I'm pretty much using Bike for everything. I just use my Mac, I'm out of touch and can't work on iOS/mobile. What devices do you use to keep track of tasks? Are there other apps that help you stay productive? (probably Bike?) So that's my one tip that's probably pretty obvious–work on things that interest you. Still not sure if I'm extremely productive in this case, but I'm very motivated because I want to see the end. I do best when I'm really interested in something and want to see how it turns out. For example, give me a list of things to do that I'm not very interested in and my approach is to drag it out painfully for as long as possible. Just working through ideas.Īlong with being a lazy todo list keeper I'm also not sure that I'm very productive. Or I might use it for more temporary purposes like writing and rewriting app descriptions, trying to decide on pricing, etc. So for example I have a todo file, but it mostly tracks ideas and projects, flexible things that I may or may not do. I use my apps more as thinking tools than list trackers. That approach definitely has drawbacks, but it also means I don't have an impossible, always growing list of tasks. I have temporary ones that I work off for a while, but I don't often keep a well maintained list of everything. The thing is I'm not that good at todo lists. How does your to-do list look, is there no problem with tasks only growing?
#TASKPAPER MAC HOW TO#
People know how to navigate and edit text, so if the entire interface is text then it's all accessible to them without much thought. I think uniformity of the user interface. What are the main advantages of using text-based syntax instead of the standard GUI with a spectacular design? I'm not sure if that represents my main audience or not, since it's not a big percentage of users that participate in the forms. Most people that I interact with in my user forums are quite technical and interested in tinkering with things. In your opinion, who is your main audience, who buys TaskPaper? I think both approaches have benefits, but I find the simple and flexible approach more interesting.
I think most apps are most user tasks focused, they provide more structure, but are more complex and less flexible. My goal for an app is to create a world with a few concepts that can be recombined in different ways. Unhappy might be strong, but my preference is for minimal apps. What things have you been unhappy with in other todo managers? I've ended up programming, but I am at least a bit sensitive to UI designs. In college I did computer science and studio art. I was interested in graphic design and computers in general when in high school. What is your background, how did you start your way in development? To-do manager will suit those who like text interfaces and quick data input via keyboard, as well as those who'd like to adapt all programs to their needs. The functionality of the application is limited only by your desire to read documentation. TaskPaper contains everything you need to flexibly organize tasks.
