Very cool Michael. Love this feature.

Mh, Comments are One Offs ? I’m not able to update or delete them right now. I’d like to update/edit my comments or @min. delete them

btw: I’m missing the ProjectName per Task and the ability to link to it.

I hope you are planning to upgrade the iphone client to support these features and that the release of the updated client will coincide with the release of the 2.0 web interface

Multiple contexts are definitely the feature I missed most, it’s nice
to see them coming.

Still, I am not 100% sure whether the current implementation handles
them correctly. It could make sense to add some hierarchy.

Let me give an example. I use 3 computers. There are tasks which can
be done on any of them (say, anything which needs just a browser).
And there are tasks which require specific one (say, the one with
development environment installed).

To date I had to use 4 contexts – “work-comp”, “home-comp”, “laptop”,
and “computer”, putting actions which can be done anywhere to
“computer”, and remaining to appropriate specific context, and
checking both “home-comp” and “computer” while on my home desktop.
Now, with multiple contexts I can throw away “computer” and assign
such actions to all 3 computers.

But that’s a) tedious (every “portable” action requires having 3
contexts assigned) and b) troublesome if I add new computer to the
picture (would need to find all multi-context actions and add one more
context to them).

It would be sweeter if I could define some hierarchy. Say – mark that
“computer” context belongs to “work-comp”, “home-comp”, and “laptop”.
Then, I would assign “do-anywhere” actions to “computer” but the system
would show me them with “work-comp” selected (for example). And if I
added “netbook”, I would onloy need to mark that “computer” belongs to
“netbook” too.

I non-geeky context, very similar hierarchy would make sense for
shopping places…

It’s not a replacement for individual multi-context (which also can
make sense very often), but just another view.

PS One could also think about it a bit differently, making a “computer”
sth like “context tag”, and making it possible to assign such “tags”
to actions (but so they are dynamic and respond to the tag redefinition).

I love the new comment feature. However, hypertext links are still broken in Action titles and comments. Advanced formatting works, though. They work fine (in Action titles) in Classic Nozbe.

Just realized that there is no way to edit a comment once it’s been applied. Any plans to change this?

Michael – any guesstimate as to when you’ll have this rolled out with the new UI? I know you guys are working on it….BUT....its been a while

What about showing Next Actions filtered by multiple contexts? (I.e. I want to see all Next Actions with HomeOffice, computer, OR phone)

I like the idea of assigning multiple contexts to a particular action, but in many cases I work in multiple contexts at the same time. For example, lets say my Next Actions list contains items with contexts such as HomeOffice, Computer, & Phone. When I’m creating each action I think about what I need to complete that action. I.E. I need my filing cabinet in my HomeOffice for this task, my computer for another task (which could be physically anywhere I have my laptop), and then I need my phone for another set of tasks which again could be anywhere I have my phone (in the car, at a friend’s house, etc.

Now, when I’m actually in my HomeOffice, I’d like to bring up my Next Actions and then choose all of the contexts that apply. I.E. I have my filing cabinet, so HomeOffice applies. I have my computer and phone, so those contexts apply.

When I’m working at a temporary location with my computer and phone I want those contexts to apply.

Unless I am missing something, the way it works now I can’t focus on the tasks I can do right now. Either I get all Next Actions including some that I can’t work on in that moment or I can filter by a single context and not show all Next Actions I could possibly work on.

Thanks for the response Michael. I have found that Nozbe works very well for the way that I use GTD with only a few minor exceptions. I’m looking forward to the new release. Thanks!

Joseph is entire correct. The new features are very good but hypertext links are still broken in Action titles and comments.

Just to remember that Remeber the Milk has this funcion (hypertext links) in notes.

I believe the solution to the multiple context issue is to do subset testing. This would test each task to see if the task’s contexts are a subset of a given context set. So, the given context set:
home, computer, phone

would match tasks with these kinds of contexts:
home, phone
home, computer
home
phone
home, phone, computer
...etc

but NOT:
work
work, computer
...etc

Note: this is kind of testing is not possible with AND/OR/CONTAINS searching.
I would love to see this integrated!

Comments on Tasks is completely essential. I have started trialling the system today and I have created lots of tasks, with very long names, the system quietly truncated them and damages my information. Without the Notes feature I have nowhere to put all the text, so this is ESSENTIAL for me. If others don’t need this, I can only assume tasks are generally easy to describe with few words, I wish mine were!

Is it possible when printing out, to have the comments expanded out so they are included in the printout of any project. With comments not enabled on the iphone app and not printing out, I can’t see the comments under any actions unless I’m at my desk!
