Jake Toodledo Founder |
In the past, we used to post an update any time we made an improvement to Toodledo, often several times per week. As our team has grown and our news outlets have expanded to include various social media channels, we have stopped doing this because we didn't want to be spamming people with bug fixes and minor changes. Now, we reserve our announcements for big things.
Because "big things" happen less often, a consequence of this approach is that it may appear from the outside that we have slowed down development on Toodledo. This couldn't be further from the truth. Our team is bigger than it has ever been and we are working harder on Toodledo than ever before. Because this may not always be apparent when you only get an announcement from us a few times a year, we are going to start something new. At the end of each month we are going to round up all of the bug fixes and improvements that we worked on into one announcement. We hope that this will give users a sense of our progress and a hint at whats coming up. Without further ado, here is what we did in October: ==Website== Worked on redesign of most of the internal pages of the website (about 80% done) Worked on redesign of the top navbar of the website Created new images/icons for internal pages Worked on a framework for making pages responsive Gathered observations from and about users to guide redesign Defined vocabulary system for failure and success prompts Made significant progress with designing a consistent visual system for Toodledo Automated generation of a global icon font from vector images for use on site Fixed homepage for IE8 and fixing Outlines for IE9 Fixed issue with sharing icon incorrectly displayed after cloning Added badges to Outline section Added sharing icon to Outlines/Lists in the left side menu Improving automated testing for Outline/Lists Improving forum search Added browser caching to tasks section to improve performance Made new tutorial videos for homepage Got Lists section to work on touch devices (iOS, Android, etc) Responded to over 300 support tickets Responded to support requests coming in via email and social media Improvements to Outlines and Lists when offline Improvements to internal building and testing tools Began work on a new secret project Fixed SSLv3 (POODLE) security vulnerability Began migration of Toodledo to new servers that will improve security/performance Improved caching and compression of Toodledo resources to improve load times of homepage Improved error reporting and logging Manual Testing and improving automated testing Fixed bug with Outlines where changes were not saved when using the keyboard to reorganize nodes (some of the items mentioned above have not been released yet) ==iPhone== Fixed crash when displaying the map view while creating a new Location Fixed phantom nav bar button that could cause unpredictable navigation for Outlines Fixed issue that could create empty navigation items in Outlines Fixed lock screen bug on iOS 8 Worked on a sharing extension for Toodledo on iOS 8 for text and web content Worked on a notification center widget for Toodledo on iOS 8 Added background refresh option Upgraded internal development tools Improved support on Outlines when the user is not syncing with Toodledo Worked on adding Lists (still a work in progress) Fixed bug with showing sync progress bar Fixed bug with editing Due Date on iOS 8 Fixed a bug with sharing joint tasks Fixed iOS 8 bug with app badges Fixed a crash when syncing in certain situations Improved log reporting Fixed an iOS8 but with displaying the sort window Fixed location viewing and alarms on iOS8.

Care to tell us about the secret project? He could tell you, but then he would have to kill you |

Hope to get better search functionality on folders. Eg. "starts with" and "contains".
Moreover, a "project" field would be nice. Since there is no search on tasks like "partent task starts with P-", it would make sense. What about a contact field? I currently tag tasks like "~Name1, ~Name2". But this begins to clutter tasks. |

I don't use the Context field for it's intended purpose, but use it as my Contact field. I use the context field as it was planned for. I also thought of the location field. But this field helps me to not over-use contexts. Eg. @Business and location "office", "homeoffice". |
