The fact that these threads still get responses after al this time suggest to me that a lot of folks feel like I do: Stikkit had so much more promise than Sandy currently does. Sorry, not trying to be a troll, but that's how I feel.

So here's the thing that Stikkit has that Sandy doesn't - a bookmarklet that lets you add new items. That would be good. Also, a bookmarklet/widget/whatever for seeing your outstanding Sandy items would be grand.

Thank you, I await the new features in the next release!

J.

Hello iwantsandy team? This thread's been open for like forever. A response would be nice, we really think that Stikkit and Sandy could work very well together!

Can I also ask for an Australian SMS service? I've got twitter set up, but it'd be great to be able to send and receive messages to Sandy directly.

Actually, I find that (at least for me) Stikkit works better for storing some information - e.g. contacts.

This is fantastic! Thanks! I just about got rid of Sandy because there was no SMS in Austria!

The blind copying has been causing a lot of chaos and my jotts to my stikkit email address have simply resulted in Jott Server Errors...

HI RAEL !!!

I JUST GOT OFF THE CONNECTION WITH BROOKE OVER AT JOTT !!!!

SHE ALSO THOUGHT THAT IT WAS AN AMAZING IDEA TO BE ABLE TO JOTT TO STIKKIT!!!

SHE SAID TO ASK YOU TO MAKE A CUSTOM LINK!

I'm sure it won't take much effort on your part since Jott has an open API and so do you...

THANK YOU RAEL!!!

Nope, not an aquisition. In short, Stikkit has been "abandonded in place". It is maintained but will not be developed further (at least, that is my understanding). Check this thread here for the official word:

ThunderBoy replied on April 06, 2008 21:19 to the question "does sandy work with stikkit" in I want Sandy:

something weird is going on... No one seems to want to address Stikkit or anything related to it... perhaps an acquisition is about to take place

Rael:

Thanks for the candid reply. An answer that isn't quite what I'd hoped for is certainly better than no answer at all. Thanks for your willingness to speak on the subject.

Now that this has been "officially" stated, I'm going to create another thread discussing some of the pros/cons of Sandy vs Stikkit. I feel that in many ways Stikkit is a more useful product than Sandy, so it concerns me a bit to hear you say that Sandy is closer to your original vision than Stikkit is. I hope that these comments will be viewed in the "constructive criticism" context in which they are intended. Hopefully this can start some discussion to inform the development of Sandy since Stikkit is being left "as is" for the time being.

Hi folks,

I apologize for my much-delayed response, both to this query in particular and to any others outstanding on the state of Stikkit.

I have a more detailed post in the works chronicling some of the history, process and path from Stikkit (and before) to Sandy, but here I'll get straight to the point...

While Stikkit as a product will not be any further developed (at least at this juncture), no -- Stikkit is far from abandoned. It is being actively maintained and continues to serve its user-base every day.

I feel it important here making the distinction between abandonment and lack of further development. And I am not simply talking semantics here. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes of a Web application Stikkit's size to keep things running smoothly, performing solidly, staying up-to-date, and with the all-but-nonexistent downtime you've no doubt experienced.

While Sandy and her elder sibling share much of the same DNA, Sandy is much closer to the original vision we had for our product: "to make organizing your daily details as simple a jotting down a note or firing off email." Sandy combines the power of the Stikkit platform with a much more focused, immediately-understandable, and purposeful approach.

I'll be glad to answer any other questions you might have.
