I'll be thinking about this... between notes, categories and permanent/transient activities... I worry about losing the simplicity, which is the main overriding ethos of BubbleTimer.

I think we'll just have to be very, very careful about how these features are added so they don't add clutter and/or cognitive load to customers that don't need them.

Thanks,
Sean

I would vote for a checkbox "This is a permanent activity." I also like the below the line/above the line idea. – Tijl, on November 28, 2008 11:33

I like the idea of the drop down for the activity or otherwise it's a general note.

Notes without a project specified could show up under the list of projects and be always visible.
Notes with a project specified show up attached to that project, like a little icon you can click on to view the note(s), maybe in the same way that you hover over the time for your projects to view graphs.

No anti-votes here.

I really like the above the line/below the line idea.

Seems like you'd still need some way to indicate to BubbleTimer which kind of activity it is. Could be a second link. Something like: 'Add Activity' and 'Add one time Activity'. Could be a checkbox when you add the link. Could be that the activity starts... say below the line when added and if you want it to be a permanent activity you drag it up over the line.

Thoughts everyone?

Thanks,
Sean

It deletes it for just the current one and into the future. The idea is that you don't want to change the history of what activities you spent your time on, just where you spend your time today and going forward. This applies to not just deletes, but also adds, renames, and goal changes as well.

Thanks,
Sean

If I delete an activity does it delete it for all days or just the current one and in the future?

I just had an idea. There could be 2 "sections" of activities, above the line is carried forward to the next day, below the line is not. At the start of each day, it would "copy" yesterdays permanent activities to the current day.

I can't think of any other ideas that don't involve more check boxes, context menus, or configuration pages.

I vote for Vista :X
Second would be Y!

And I anti-vote for FireFox. Is there such a thing?

Where would the notes be "saved" then?

I was thinking they would always be visible. – j0dan, on November 21, 2008 03:04

How about: The notes section (I like at the bottom) has a simple dropdown to select an activity, but you can also leave that blank.
After entering a note, the box is blank again and ready to add another note.
So you can add as many separate notes as you want, with or without a project attached.

I apologize, j0dan, as the two issues were fault of my code. Sean and I worked hard to find and pick up any issues which were still lying in wait to pop up at the least expected moment, and think that we got them all (hopefully we did!).

As Sean stated, if you have any more issues, please leave a message here and we will get to it ASAP.

Regards,
Eric

I like this idea a lot... I'm a bit worried about compromising on simplicity however... Any ideas on implementation that preserve the current simplicity?

Thanks,
Sean

Good idea... what's everyone want in terms of widgets? Mac OS X, Vista, Google, Y!, Firefox... others?

Thanks,
Sean

OK, this one is in the hopper for the next few weeks.
