Brilliant idea. +1

Any update on this, yet? Has development on a Sandy IM interface started yet? :)

I've been getting this happen to me too. My thinking is that it has to do with when Sandy sends notifications of this to Twitter or your Mobile Phone, only that many characters would fit. I'm not completely sure of this, though.

It'd be nice if Sandy would send the first 140 characters (or however long it is they allow) to Twitter/SMS and include the full task in email responses.

They are thinking about it: http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. All this got me rebooting my tech blog. Feel free to visit. PalmOrganized.com – Fox Mulder, on August 23, 2008 23:23

I'll be your first customer ! -- even beta ;) – Bricoleur, on August 23, 2008 17:58

I see what you mean I am working on something that would allow people to do something like that from their iPhone on the spot including creating the directory from the iPhone.

In the meantime, I would recommend using Rushmsg. If you want to get your hands dirty you can play around with the iPhone iui code to create something similar.

Thank you for your feedback.

Fantastic, again thanks for all your efforts on our (users) behalf !

My question re using the code was because I was thinking of adding a few items specific to projects (and thus associated tags) that I use -- these would not be of use to anybody else using your system - I was thinking of replacing the "Cheat sheet" with a "tab" on the front page for projects which would scroll out to a list of specific project tags that could be seeded into body of the email (similar to what you do with repeating items; eg @project1; @project2 etc.)

1) Done
2) Done
3) I don't have a problem linking to the the I Want Sandy Login. I just wanted to create something that looked more native to the iPhone interface. Yeah if someone else hacked into my server they could change it. I have now changed it back to the official site log in page.

This "code" is not personal to any specific user. Anyone can use this site at the iPhoneSandy.com address which I think makes it simple. Sure you can host it on your server and you would just be a duplicate place to do the same thing. (there is a version I have in mind for specific users but I am a young jedi and would need to do more training with a yoda)

I would probably think it more appropriate for I Want Sandy to host this on their servers.

And no, I have not heard from any "I Want Sandy" people yet if I don't count you guys :-). I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Terrific - thank-you!

A few suggestions I think might make it just a tiny bit better:

1) I'll probably still use a twitter client when all I want to do is send a quick "remember" but perhaps you should set the "How can I help you" enail with a first line seed of "remember" to save a few keystrokes?

2) put an email seed @todo item in place of the "tell a friend" (a more useful function; still fits on one screen)

3) Login button top right loads the I Want Sandy's own login screen, while the scoll entry "Log in" doesn't ? Why not (other than screen size - and while I've look at the page source, this could be changed if someone hacked your server)?

Finally, are you releasing the code to the public? Could I put it on my own server with your permission? Have you had any response from the "I Want Sandy" people to your efforts ?

Nice start Fox, I like the look and feel. Thanks – msb, on August 23, 2008 14:29

http://www.iphonesandy.com. I scaled back from my original vision. I need to learn more iPhone Web Dev but this should serve you guys well in the mean time.

Feel free to send me any feedback. You even have a beautiful home screen icon for easy access.

Check out "Devo". It's like Quicksilver for Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire... and http://abcdefu.wordpress.com/devo/

Devo is a command launcher that runs inside FireFox. It can be customized to do just about anything you want on the web. It runs Javascript internally so it's pretty easy to add things.

I added a new command that does the same thing as the "Sandy bookmark" described above. I can now hit "Shift-X" to get a pop up window, type "sandy" followed by whatever I want her to remember and hit enter. (I'm considering changing the key combination to be Ctr-;)

I named my new command "sandy" and gave it the following code:
var msg = devo_param; if(msg!=null){var win=window.open('http://iwantsandy.com/email/create?message[subject]=From Devo&message[body]=Remember '+msg, '_iwantsandy');}

Some suggestions:

1) ideas on how a new tag should be:

Sandy can already do this:
> remember to buy bread @daily (repeats every day)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @daily (delays until Tuesday, then every day)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @weekly (repeats every Tuesday)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @biweekly (repeats every other Tues)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @monthly (repeats on the same day every month.)

> remember to buy bread Tuesday @monthly_dayOfWeek (repeats on the same dayOfWeek every month.)

My idea is that there only be one or two new tags. It would be a different kind of "monthly" tag. It would repeat every month on the same day of the week. The "2nd Tuesday" or "3rd Sunday" of the month don't need to be specified in the tag. The dayOfWeek and the "2nd" or "3rd" in the month are automatically determined by Sandy depending on when the start date is.

(Although the name @monthly_dayOfWeek is terrible, we should come up with a better one. Maybe @monthly_weekly?)

2) also need to count down from the LAST day of the month.

To do it properly, the FIRST Tuesday of the month is only half of the problem. There's also the LAST Tuesday of the month, and the second to last, and the third to last.

We need to be able to specify if Sandy should consider the repeating event starting on Tuesday to repeat on the THIRD Tuesday of the month, or the SECOND TO LAST Tuesday of the month.

> remember to buy bread Tuesday @monthly_dayOfWeek_reverse

Working on this app earnestly to get a distributable version out. Also rewriting the manual so I get a full understanding of it. I will update and will attempt to have this ready by Friday. This will be something you can run yourself. I am not aiming for the type you log in with your username and password.

I have not heard from Rael yet and hopefully will by Friday.

All the best to all of you

There is another post running about this. While other people may be able to forward their emails from xxx-xxx-xxxx@att.net (or other wireless provider) to Sandy, I for one am not! I've been trying for 8 months to do this but Gmail won't forward those emails...it comes to my inbox and that's it. It doesn't go on to sandy even though i've deleted the original Rule and re setup new ones again and again. not sure why this is but finally i have just given up on Sandy and now I just email myself the reminder from my phone -- that way at least its written down and sitting in my inbox. (my main problem has been not remembering where I've street-parked the car every evening)

After some research, I can't get the "email relay" via Google to work. It's probably trivial via a procmail setup, but Google does not change the original sender address when forwarding a message, so the forwarded message shows as coming from the original sender, not the gmail account relay.

Anyone with any ideas?
