Closed Beta

Flowdle is now up & running in closed beta.   There are some things that need to get updated right away (mainly the Nudger Service); however, I thought it prudent to create a blog to discuss upcoming updates and changes.

Feel free to post comments and /or suggestion on this blog.

Looking good so far! I like the integrated management tools and the blogger idea. Looking forward to the nudges.

Couple of ideas:
1) keep user logged in for 2 weeks option?
2) display create date and next nudge date?

Let's build a Help page - I'll start on it and send to you for editing

This is great Mark and Conrad!
I have noted a few things I have had to try and keep track of doing.
The two categories I tried to put everything under were Personal and CAIH though the headings on the side when displayed were shown on two lines and didn't seem to be organized the way I thought they would. Great tool

Okay Mark, Dad helped me edit some of my tags The "Personal," tag should be deleted.
Still, I LOVE THIS!

I think it would be great to have the option to set a nudge for a one time task on a specific date/time.

For example, Joy had a task - "University scholarship check arrived by Nov 3" - so you would set a nudge for Nov 2 at noon...

Appreciate all the comments! A few responses:

1) Google controls the login expiration & authentication cookies. If you don't close your browser, you can remained logged in for a long time. The default www.flowdle.com will send you into the App if you happen to be logged in.

2) I'm playing with a way to display the create date, next nudge date and list of applied tags in a clean simply way, get back to you on that.

3) I'm thinking that the Nudger Service should run 3 times a day: Morning, Noon & Night. Meaning you will have to select when you want to be nudged for each task (defaulted to Morning). Sound good?
