No search in the next version of the app, but search might end up in a future version.

It will definitely *not* be within the next month.

I'm sorry view-by-tag in iMinder won't be ready in time for you. I hope you will take a look at it when it does come out.

Yes, you can add tags in iMinder and see them in the Hiveminder.com web interface after syncing.

This is not yet possible, but it will be with the next the next version of iMinder. The next version will allow viewing all tags and seeing a list of tasks per tag.

The new version is currently in development — no ETA yet.

wka replied on August 11, 2009 11:37 to the idea "default due date for tasks" in World Airmail Links:

This is certainly a worthy idea. I will note that the next version of iMinder will have a shorter way to create tasks with due dates of today or tomorrow. Perhaps this will be enough.

If not, then this idea can be revisited after that version is released.

Thanks for the idea!

Thank you for the suggestion — this is something to think about

A tag list is definitely coming in a future version

wka replied on June 30, 2009 02:58 to the question "No dock badge with Facebook" in Fluid:

I was not seeing a badge either. It turns out I had pointed at facebook.com, not www.facebook.com. I re-created my Facebook SSB to point at www.facebook.com and now I see a badge.

wka replied on June 12, 2009 22:26 to the idea "Email interaction option in iminder or email version." in World Airmail Links:

I have spent some time thinking about this and while I appreciate the idea, I think that if there is going to be email integration to the extent you suggest, it would be more appropriate to have it reside on at Hiveminder.com rather than in iMinder. At Hiveminder, they have the server infrastructure to be able to handle both sending emails (which an iPhone app can do) and receiving them.

If users reply to one of these emails that the app sends, I would presume certain task-related actions should be taken . From an architecture perspective, this would mean a whole server-side component for iMinder to receive replies (an investment I am not willing to make now) and quite a bit of mail-handling code.

Again, I appreciate the idea, but it is probably better directed at Hiveminder/Best Practical or at another developer using the Hiveminder API.

wka replied on June 12, 2009 22:17 to the idea "location aware todo" in World Airmail Links:

Thanks for the idea. I was thinking about something along very similar lines, adding saving locations for tags and then showing "tasks near me" based on those tag locations.

While this idea probably will not be in the next major version, it might make it into a future version.

wka replied on June 09, 2009 02:24 to the idea "task view filtering" in World Airmail Links:

The ability to view tasks by tag is going to be in the next major version of iMinder (after one or more minor versions). You will be able to switch back and forth between a list of tagged tasks and all tasks pretty quickly.

wka replied on June 09, 2009 02:21 to the praise "Good!" in World Airmail Links:

Thanks, I appreciate it!

wka replied on June 07, 2009 18:53 to the idea "Email interaction option in iminder or email version." in World Airmail Links:

Thanks for the idea. I am trying to fully understand it before commenting further.

How would the "email option" you describe work, exactly? If the checkbox in iMinder is replaced with an email icon, what would happen when a user clicks the icon?

wka reported a problem in BookTour on June 06, 2009 18:30:

Emails about outdated author events

This morning, I received 7 email notifications of author events in my area. They were all for authors I followed, but they were all for events in the past (Nov 2008 - May 2009). These were not duplicates — I had never received any email notifications for these events. I looked back in my email archives (thanks to Gmail) and I saw that the most recent author event notification email I received before today was from 5/2008.

Perhaps a mail queue that had been backed up was cleared out?

wka replied on June 05, 2009 03:37 to the idea "Use standard Hiveminder lists." in World Airmail Links:

Good news: the next major version of iMinder will include several lists ("Due Today", "Due Tomorrow", "Overdue"). No timetable on the version yet, but it is a ways off, and there will be at least one minor version released before then.

As for custom lists, they might be something that is doable for a future version, but I would need to spend some time looking in to a few related things first.

wka replied on June 04, 2009 02:22 to the question "Be able to add/review notes on each task" in World Airmail Links:

Thanks for the suggestion. Access to notes for a task is definitely something that I would like to add as a feature in a future version.

wka replied on May 21, 2009 02:23 to the idea ""All", "Up For Grabs", and other task views would add value!" in World Airmail Links:

Thanks for the idea. The good news is that the next major version of iMinder (1.1) will allow different "views" (or contexts, as you say) of tasks. The plan is to add views for Overdue, Due Tommorrow and the like.

I don't know if "Up for Grabs" and "Everybody else's tasks" views would make sense in that version because iMinder will not yet have the functionality to accept or assign tasks. Once accept/assign functionality is added (it will probably come a version or two after 1.1) these views would make sense.

As for a timeline, there will be at least one minor version release before the next major version, and it is a nights-and-weekends project for me, so 1.1 is probably a few months away and adding accept/assign is even further.

You comments are appreciated. Thanks!
