Recently active topics in Second Gear

I asked the following in email before I realized Second Gear was er, getting satisfaction. I received a response from Justin that this was something that might be considered at some point.

I decided to share the request here as well in case others have similar ideas:

The iPhone has a Calendar application, which has three views: Month, Day, and List. Here's a picture for those unfamiliar with it:

While the Month and Day view correspond to the same views in iCal, there is not a similar view in iCal for the List view.

The way Today works is very close, but is limited to showing one day at a time. It would be nice if there was a list view that spanned multiple days like the iPhone version. For example, something like "Next 5 Events" regardless of date.

Please make it sync with the IPhone! the ICal view on the IPhone is just awful, especially the day view.

Fantastic program. It would be nice if you could set up recurring task.

I have some suggestions for Check Off
1. Drag and drop to iCal. Drag the Check Off icon onto the a day and time in iCal.
2. A global Expand/collapse toggle for all Check Off topics in pull down menu.
3. Time Arrange items under topic. Optional alphabetic, user, or time order for topic items.
4. Timeline view of timed items. Perhaps have a line that represents a day, week or month. Have a graphic (maybe a dot) that is time-linked to an item in your Check Off list. When you mouseover the dot in the timeline, the corresponding item in the list is highlighted.
5. Timed items due today could be optionally listed in a topic at the top of the Check Off listing.

When the Today window is selected, transparency should become opaque. Or an icon can be used to toggle between In Use and Idle transparency levels. These should be preference options.

I'd love an option to view the next three or seven days events.

Also, while I'm here, how about a drop down calendar for picking dates.

It would be great if i could setup alarms for to-do items without going to iCal after creating the to-do in Today

I tihnk it would be nice if Today did not immediatly hide a task when you check it off. Sometimes if I have multiple tasks of the same color next to each other I can't tell if I've actually checked the task off or not. I think some osrt of fading could be implemented or maybe tasks completed in the last X days could be shown at the bottom of the tasks pane?
