[Clipping] Desired features
Posted: Tue May 18, 2010 10:33 am
Hello, I've wanted to work on a such a tool for a long time, but never manged to find enough spare time.
I'm using EverNote to keep most of my notes, and it does have some great features, but it's a bit of an overkill for many things, I don't like the direction is going (ads, remote notebooks on their servers, ...), and it misses some of the things I need.
I would love to see an easy integration of these tools with some content repository (e.g. subversion. either built-in or using some external provider), to be super sure that my notes are not lost and that I can track what changed when.
I would love to see some integration with GTD concepts (Getting Things Done). Some way to manage a tag workflow (todo => working => done, waiting on somebody), with proper history and timestamps in order to track the time spent.
Some hierarchical tags (e.g. work, work/projectA, work/projectB) to be able to see all the "work" done last week.
And I would love to use this as a learning tool, writing down the words in the foreign languages I'm learning, and use them as flash cards.
I understand these are all very specific and over-the-top features that might not be requested by many people, so I suspect that one day I will have to write my tool anyways.
In the meantime maybe you can create a shortcut to close the window (I find Esc to be useful and common), Alt-F4 does not work now.
Thanks for your good work.
