OmniFocus Updates: omnigroup.com

@omni how do all your micro.blog friends ensure we get to the front of the list of 7,500 beta testers ? 😊

@JohnPhilpin Right? But, seriously, it’s really exciting for us to have so many people interested. We’re moving as quickly as we can — while still doing the responsible thing, doing things right.

@omni 👍 ok forget them - too obvious - let’s just say ‘me’ :-)

@JohnPhilpin Whoa there. Not just YOU. Me too @omni I mean right now I'm waffling between Things 3 and OmniFocus 2... Does that help sweeten the pot. Maybe I'll go back to Hit List for awhile. Huh. How's that. Hmmmmm. :)

@d0gc0w sounds like you need a list manager to manage the pro and cons of which list manager you want .... reminds me of a Woody Allen Story from the hey days of Filofax. Apparently he had some 40 Filofax systems at any moment .... the majority being one system per project he was working .. plus one to manage all the other Filofaxes... // @omni

@adiabatic i love bullet journalling. Is Ryder Carroll on here? Maybe @JohnPhilpin should try it to get into the analogue lifestyle.

@JohnPhilpin well i was really just trying to bully @omni into a test flight slot. But i love the filofax reference.

@adiabatic i also used dash plus by @patrickrhone for quite a while. There was even an ios app built around it at one time. // @JohnPhilpin

@d0gc0w That app was developed by Dave Mendels good guy. Good app. I believe he's moved on to other things.

@patrickrhone Yep. I remember that name now that you say it. It was nearly perfect. And yeah it hasn't been updated in forever. I've sense moved on to more intensive digital forms for my task management but dash plus woulds till work for me even at my current scale I believe.

@d0gc0w I created it mainly to simply process notes I took at meeting. To separate what was something I needed to do from everything else. It was never meant to be a "system" in the comprehensive sense. Simply a tool/method that could scale.

@patrickrhone dash/plus is what I have built my system on :)

@d0gc0w it does. It’s the system/method I use when writing a paper list.

@d0gc0w @patrickrhone I think that was the video I started to watch, but not for me. BUT. Because of these conversations I discovered a long time friend of mine is so smitten with paper and pens that he has a collection of fountain pens that I assumed existed only in museums!

@d0gc0w @omni bullying is obviously not working - maybe bribery ?

@d0gc0w @omni i finally dropped 10 bucks on iphone things - and running a two week trial on the mac - so far so good - but I do love my Omni - and hoping that Things won’t pull me away.

@JohnPhilpin We’d send out all the invitations right away if it made sense to. But we have to stick to our process that’s fair to the app, to the people working on it, and to the people that want to help test.

@omni —- we know - just pulling your leg ;-) / @d0gc0w

👍🐥

@JohnPhilpin yeah maybe that's a better approach...

@JohnPhilpin haha. It's a good app. It works well. I haven't found a good use case for the url short tho.

@JohnPhilpin yep all in good fun @omni we only pick on you because we like you, just like all the other crushes on the playground.

@omni ... what @d0gc0w said

@d0gc0w i will work out a ‘good use’ once i understand the help file!

@JohnPhilpin I know right. Everyone says it's great. But most things I see people doing with it I can just do in the app itself. And if I can't, then the question is, should I be able to? Wouldn't that be better than dropping a feature in a url scheme just for the sake of url schemes? #nerdgasm I know it's design decisions but still

@d0gc0w 👍🏿
