The Omni Group

Hurry….pretty please….hurry

I meant Ethan, not Nathan.

Argh… there was an >img< tag at the top of my comment that didn't render.

Here's the image I was trying to include, but the incomplete HTML rendering kind of ruined the joke…

When you release OmniCrashDoubler, be sure to bundle it with CrashBlocker Pro (http://www.atomicbird.com/crashblockerpro).  OK?

I've been tainted with preconception; Ethan's approach has been good and helpful.  On the other hand, I'd like to see a clean-slate-ish approach from

y'all, given the affinity I've felt for most of your other tools.

I'm content to wait until your product conception matures enough for you to talk about it. 

AND I'll be quite happy to beta test it and give commentary when it's available.

Will there be a bundle discount for OmniFocus w/ OmniCrashDoubler? OmniCrashDoubler sounds like almost every other app I own, but I'm sure Omni's quality control will be worth the price.

BTW, will the odor of startled skunk manifest itself with sound? Having experienced the business end of a skunk first hand, I'd hate to miss out on that part of the flashback.

I second the last post.  No NOT rush.  We all appreciate your stellar interface design and the solidity of your applications.

Thanks for not hurrying the development of OmniFocus. I recently tried Midnight InBox's various “betas” and become more and more disappointed at the instability and unusability of the application. The application might as well have been a series of Photoshop mockups.

I'm looking forward to OmniFocus, and am willing to wait for a great product that's actually usable, elegant, and thoughtful.

I need this.  I'm the disaster coordinator for a major NGO and I'm just starting to teach my team of earthquake and tsunami hunters how I make sure I never dop any balls when it is all falling apart.  It used to be kGTD, then a mindmap with Freemind.  Now, it has to be this.  I love your other stuff (even when they refuse to give discounts to charity workers) and have become a bit of an evangelist for GTD.  Any chance there might be a mind-map generator (direct from my list of to dos), maybe with quicksilver integration a la kGTD?  That would be something.

Complete me and I will love you.

Make me whole.  Go Omni!

K.

Please also look at things like D3 when you consider what to put in to your thing. I have used kGTD, and, yeah, it was o.k. Well better than o.k., but (and this is might NOT be GTD - who knows? I ain't read the book) I like to have more than one context sometimes and I like to pull things together in different ways. For example, I might want to see all the @waiting items that my team are working on, but I might also have a 'tiddler' on each person with notes of 1-on-1 meetings and other tasks just contextualised to them directly (not via a project). I like the fact that I can get a tagging list in their tiddler for @waiting (and other) actions that are also tagged with their names (and maybe more than one name per action). This is but one of the fantastically flexible things that the tiddlywiki system allows.

Daily journaling is another.

Cheers.

P.S. Apologies to those unfamiliar with TiddlyWiki and will therefore not have the faintest idea what I am banging on about.

I'm all for the Palm Syncing Capability…  and iCal etc etc…. perhaps even… iBiz…. wow… Cocoa apps that work together beyond Linkback or Apple standards(or Gimp if you include Seashore and Chlor in the equation)?  that would be wonderful LOL gCal support that would be cool.    Make our lives simple.  LOL isn't that what all this technology was supposed to do?  That's what gets my $$$$  simple and powerful.. and… Ease of use… (notice the separation of “simple” and “ease of use”)  Kudos Omni…...  Wish you'd hire the Chocoflop or Seashore guys… LOL

Widgets is the way to go! Yes!
