This iteration (from release 0.20) took longer than expected but there are a number of user-facing changes you might notice:
- You can now create reference items, either directly or when processing your thoughts. Eventually I would like the reference section to be a searchable journal that can pull in information from other services while recording your activities on the site.
- All the data tables, including next actions, thoughts, etc received are somewhat more formatted and ideally easier to read and work with. I consider all style and web design to be a work in progress.
- Thoughts now have a priority field that you can check while entering them. A priority thought will be processed first, sorted higher and visually distinct in the thoughts listing.
- Actions now have a due date. At some point in the future you will have the assistance of a calendar widget to select the correct date, but for the moment text field allows a variety of date formats and even words like 'tomorrow', 'today', 'Monday', etc.
- You can now view the originating thoughts that became an action or reference item. Currently there is no way to view an already processed thought except via the resulting action or reference item.
- The Quick thought collection form on the Today page now supports a number of shortcut directives that can be appended to the entered thought:
- A exclamation mark (!) will mark the thought as priority
- A colon (:) will take you to the detailed thought collection form
- A greater-than symbol (>) will let you process the thought immediately, and
- Two greater-than symbols (>>) will automatically create an action in the current context using the thought text.
