I want Sandy

It would be nice if one Sandy could be used to assist several members of a household or group.

That would require adding several accounts to one Sandy instance, and having the member enabled to manage their communication profiles individually.

I would LOVE it if I could email Sandy tracking numbers for UPS/Fedex/DHL and have Sandy let me know their status. That would be a killer feature.

I think that all remembered items should have a "details" sections. This would just be an editable text field. Currently, everything has to be crammed into the "name" of the item. (See this by using the website, click on any reminder and look at the "name" field.) By default, the "details" section would contain the same information that's in the "context" section now. The difference is that it would be editable.

I want to be able to add details to my items. For instance, there currently isn't a way to add driving directions or a list of items to bring to an appointment. I don't want to change the name of the appointment, I want the "meeting with Tony" to stay the same. (As a further idea, when an item is created or updated by email, maybe we could optionally specify the name of an item by using @name ?)

Lists already have a "details" section. Lists currently have a "name" and a separate text area for the elements in the list. This makes it easy to edit the items in the list (the "details") separately from the name of the list. Looking at the website, every list has a separate text area where the elements of the list can be edited. I'm suggesting that a text area like this be added to every item. The text are can be labeled "details".

Adding "details" to an appointment would blur the line between an appointment and a "note". It would give people the ability to add "notes" to an appointment, etc. I know in the past some people have suggested that we should be able to change the type of an item from "appointment" to "note". I think that was suggested because it wasn't possible to add notes to an appointment. I think adding "details" would solve the problem. It sure would help me out.

I would like the ability to add more than one secondary address, so I can talk to Sandy via my personal, business, work, and SMS addresses.

I'd be willing to pay $20/year for this feature.

At the end of the month, or the year, sometimes I can't remember when I did something. I had a task (a todo) that I finished, but I can't remember exactly when I did it. Sometimes this is important. When did I send the check, when did I paint the walls, when did I finish the work, etc.

The date of the task might not be the date that I finished it on. I have several overdue items in my todo list. Eventually I finish them and mark them as "done". I would like that the date you tag something as "done" automatically be recorded in a "date completed" field for that task. I know that you can sort items by "last updated", and this almost works, except that you have to be careful to not change anything on that task ever again. if you update an item that is already marked with "done", then you lose the date that the task was completed.

An @weeknights tag would allow us to get an evening reminder before a normal working day, but would save us from being reminded on a Friday night, for example. I suggest that you add this tag to do exactly as @weekdays does, but from Sunday through to Thursday, rather than from Monday through to Friday. Or go why not whole hog and let us add special tags with our own time, reminder and other settings?

Would it be possible to have a couple secondary email addresses? I use 2 "Normal" email addresses and my phone, so I have to pick whether I want to use my work email, or my cell phone.

Is there a practical reason for not doing this?

Any chance an API for Sandy will be available in the near future?

I see a lot of feature requests that could be solved by a third party via an API.

For example, my father's birthday is April 20th. I want to be able to tell Sandy "Remind me thtat my father's birthday is on April 20th, three days in advance."

Is it possible yet to tell Sandy

"Remind me I have a Doctor's Appointment at 5pm Today."

And at 5pm That day, have your Twitter AUTOMATICALLY change to

"At the Doctor's"

Do you have any ideas of how Sandy could integrate with other web services?

It would be great if Sandy could be tightly integrated with Outlook or GCal/Gmail. There are apps out there that will sync directly with Outlook and GCal along with the contacts to allow you to see your schedule across multiple PIMs. It would be good if Sandy could know all of my apointments, not just the ones I tell her about. Same goes for contacts or even ToDos. If Sandy could not just add to them, but know all of them I'd be the first to pay for this service.

I'd really like the option to set reminders to default to being todo's. I use iwantsandy most through twitter from my phone and having to add "@todo" on to the end of everything takes up 5 characters and is annoying.

The reason I want to be able to do this is because it would be great if I could get a list back from sandy of everything that I've asked her to remind me about, in the style of a to-do list.

Useful/not?
