Recently active ideas in I want Sandy tagged with tags

Being able to look stuff up by tags is great! What about adding functionality for Sandy to send you a list of everything you haven't assigned any tags to, so that you can run through and add tags to those items? (I know you can get such a list on the Website, but that's cumbersome...adding tags there means clicking on each item individually, rather than being able to send her back an email with line-by-line instructions.)

Thanks!

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?

I have some tags which are my "attention" tags, or those tags which are meant for me to take immediate notice of, such as 'for follow up' or 'urgent'. However, once I've completed a one of those 'for follow up' or 'urgent' which are marked @todo, it would be really nice if Sandy automatically removed the to-do from the 'urgent' or 'for follow up' tags, since whenever you complete an 'urgent' or 'for follow up' task, it always ceases to be urgent or for follow up.

This could be implemented with a checkbox or link on the specific tag's page, which allowed the user to check the box if he or she wanted Sandy to automatically remove done tasks from the tag.

My #1 wish is to be able to tell Sandy which items to display on the daily digest by selecting one or more tags and to have items sorted by tag on the daily digest. So, for example, in addition to @todo, I might use tags like @projects, @errands, @phonecalls, and then have my daily digest with 4 separate sections: to-do, projects, errands, phonecalls. Basically, this would give me a categorized daily digest.

I used another reminder service that was much more primitive, but it did let me choose where each reminder should go. A work reminder could go to the work address, a family reminder could go to my home address.

I'm not a rabid GTD fan, but I do like the idea of having to-do lists and reminders ready for different contexts. There are things I want to do on my lunch hour at work that I really don't need to see on a list at home. There are times I might want a text message when I'm out on errands, but I don't need it for every message.

I'd even be happy if I could just specify where messages would go, by tag. For instance, an @sms tag could override my usual setting and send a text message just this one time. Everything with a @work tag could be send to my work email and so forth.

What I've done for now is set up two different Sandy accounts, one using my work email and one using my home email. That way I'm not distracted at home by work items and vice versa. I hope having two accounts isn't against the Terms.

Not sure if this would be better as a hard-coded @cell, @secondemail, etc. or whether a rules-based engine where people could say "if topic = @cell AND subject includes 'Joe', send notification HERE."

There are certain occasions where I'd prefer NOT to get SMS reminders. When I'm actually sitting at my computer in the middle of the day, or when I'm home at night. If I know I'll be out on the go, then I'd like the SMS reminder. Also, I don't get an incredible amount of available out of network SMS messages, and I'm sure others have the same problem. If I could tag reminders with @sms or something, and only send an SMS reminder in that case, it would solve both issues

Right now, the daily digest shows all my to-dos in one list. This doesn't help me easily see the things I should work on while I'm at work vs. while I'm at home. A (slightly) richer syntax in the daily digest customization that would let me have one section for todo+work, another for todo+home, and another for todo-work-home (the "other" bin) would be fantastic.

It would be great if we could give some people limited access to our Sandy. Can we register some email address with Sandy so that she will allow them to do a few things?

Several people have requested that they'd like for their wife/girlfriend to be able to put items in their todo list. And others have requested that their significant friends be able to see the status of a particular set of items. (See all items with a certain tag. )

(I know that we already have a list of "friends". (iwantsandy.com/friends) But these friends don't seem to have a lot of abilities at the moment.)

I think it'd be fantastic if you could request calendar and RSS feeds only for items with a specific tag.

For example, I could tag to-dos, notes, and events with @project-name.

Each tag would have its own feed, and I could subscribe to subsets. So, if I don't want to see all things I add, I can subscribe just to the @project-name feed.

Just an idea...

Great product. I'd find it even more useful if I could get customizable "daily" digests more than once a day. For example, I'd love to get a digest email in the morning that included my @work tag and maybe some others, but didn't include my @home tag. Then, I'd love a second digest to be sent around quitting time that included all my @home todos, etc.

Currently, Sandy orders things "Sorted by updated date (most recent first)". That's possibly ok for things like lists, but I hate it for my daily digest, appointments or tag pages.

Example: I sent in an email to sandy with all the opening dates for movies I want to see this year, all in date order from most recent to the far future, all tagged with @movies. I then added @movies to my daily digest. However, due to how Sandy reads emails, all my movies are now listed in -reverse- order, with the 2009 movies first, then in descending order. This means to see the next movie coming out, I have to go all the way to the bottom of my page.

Aside from undated items, I don't really see the need for this ordering to be default. However, I'm sure someone prefers it that way, so I'm not saying do away with it, but add an option in the "settings" to set your preference. If there IS an option somewhere, other than adding in various flags in the URL, then I'm clueless where it's hidden as I've gone through it with a fine tooth comb.

Just a simple request for @semiannually to work for tasks every 6 months. Thanks for a great service.

need more contextual sensuality, like in http://voo2do.com/ . and perl-like "if"?

A couple of suggestions for you:

1. When displaying items after a search or a tag selection, offer to group things by type. This is much easier visually and more organized than just having a long list of mixed up things.

2. Display a count of the number items (not done) associated with a tag. This makes it easier to see what tags are not really being used as well as seeing whether a tag has any open items.

. . . or an setting to bring it back for those of us who like it?

Is there a way to customize the menus on the Sandy homepage? I would love to say, add the tag "@work" to that list.
