There is a bug in username registration field – it says alphanumeric but it really means alphabet. I tried a bunch of times with a number in that field ant he e-mails kept bouncing and it started working after I removed the numeral.

Suggestions for the entry of dates:

Allow entry of “today”, “tomorrow”, etc. that will then translated into the correct date.
Allow entry of dates as YYYYMMDD as well as YYYY-MM-DD as this simplifies the entry on mobile devices by allowing you to enter into numeric mode and not have to switch back to symbol mode to enter the “-” character. Saves many precious mobile thumbpresses and thus saves time.

Cheers,

Chris

RE last post: “bones” = “GTD programs”. I was typing fast and thinking of something else.

Hi,

Few suggestions that I think would help a lot:

(1) Can you add ability to archive projects, as opposed to deleting them? This way old actions and projects can be searched / referenced if I need to check how something went in the past. Also, archiving projects would remove them from projects dropdown on action assignment page.

(2) On Settings -> projects page:
(i) Specify # of opened / closed actions for each project
(ii) Add ability to archive projects
(iii) Add ability to see archived projects, and when shown, to unarchive projects

(3) Automatically archive projects 3 days after all actions on projects were finished (#3 user-changeable)

(4) When sending suggestion through “suggest” link, add some response to show this was accepted, and post suggestions somewhere I can check to see if it was approved, rejected or pending for follow-up.

Vitalist is one of the best bones now, but if you keep adding little improvements to clear the few rough edges left, this tool will definitely become #1.

Thanks!

Hi – email to vitalist is great … thanks – especially cool is the self created username … it’s independent of your real user name, making it more secure & changeable in case spam becomes a problem. I sent a suggestion via Vitalist to you, before I saw this comment list … REgarding subject lines: most US wireless carriers don’t have a subject line in their SMS application. I use a Sprint Treo & while I can email vitalist just fine, even have a bookmark set up for it, It would be quicker to SMS the text … If you could either A) allow subjectless emails through, putting whatever is in the body to the title of the inbox item ( IF no subject, ITEM title = BODY ) & then just skip the note part or B) set up a character that would indicate subject in the email body, ie S: or the like ….. reason for all this is: capturing input on the road is super important these days, but true email on most wireless devices is a little pokey, about 20 – 30 sec after typing for the device to logon to the net, do the POP3 thing, & then close down again – & that’s on a smartphone, regular phones are worse, with their web interface. SMS, on the other hand, is super quick … usually about 5 sec to send the message & you are all done. Further, most devices are designed so that users can quickly create SMS messages. Basically, SMS is the quickest method of getting text from user to vitalist. Vitalist is great though, really, the most elegant online implementation of GTD that I’ve seen yet. Thanks for your good work. Cheers!
