Email interaction option in iminder or email version.
Hiveminder is one of those unique apps that is able to leverage email communication. Would you consider an email version of the iPhone app or an email option within the original iminder iphone app?
Tasks can be completed by checking the checkbox this is relatively ideal and simple and it works. The email option although seemingly not as intuitive allows task grouping, recurring, completion with additional email completion notes/attachments, and integrating with third party programs that use email communication (like reminders programs) via cc.
I particularly would like to leverage the latter option. Perhaps instead of a stand alone app you could provide an option in settings to replace the checkbox with an email icon for those who would like to complete and alter tasks.
Going further even offering snippets for common hiveminder syntax like [complete=1], group options [group: mygroup], Recurring [every: week] later on down the road in case that is difficult.

Inappropriate?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? -
Inappropriate?It would trigger an email to be sent. Then a whole world would open up in terms of who you could cc on a task for delegating purposes, updating the task to a group using group tag, adding recurring tags, or forwarding this to a reminder service that would resend the email as an email or sms message.
Also there are tag specific emails that can be created in Hiveminder and added to the addressbook of any iphone that also leverages email. Maybe this could lead to have a place to store them and initiate them in iminder (just brainstorming now)
This is an alternative way to add a lot of functionality without much development on the native side. The Chief purpose is to access the email functionality within Hiveminder and other third party email services.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?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.
I’m appreciative
