Planned Features
( The following items are listed in no particular order.)

• Major Features
  • Dependencies
    Frequently one task is dependant upon the completion of another. ListfulThinking will make sure that a task is never ranked higher than the task it is dependant on.
  • Server Synching
    Most of us have more than one computer in our lives. We've got the one as home and the one at work. Some of us have multiple computers at both. ListfulThinking will, optionally, save a copy of your ListfulThinking lists on our server so that no matter what computer you're on you'll have the latest list. Unfortunately we're going to have to charge a fee for this service since accounts at ISPs aren't free.
  • Status Display
    Right now ListfulThinking doesn't do much with the "status" field. The plan is to have a small icon next to each item in the list that will let know you know in a glance what tasks you've started, what ones still need to be started, etc.
  • Date Handling
    Some work has already been done towards this one. ListfulThinking will take the due date of a task into account when it prioritizes a list. If it's due in a few hours it will be moved to the top of the list. ListfulThinking will also keep track of when you completed a task for future reference.
  • Archiving Old Items
    When you set an item's status to "completed" it will be hidden from your list, but not deleted from the system. That way, if you ever need to know when you did something you'll be able to pull up a list of past tasks and look at their completion dates.
  • Summazed List
    Once you have more than one list going ListfulThinking will enable you to see a prioritized list of all the tasks on all your lists.
  • Details
    Sometimes a little title isn't enough. There will be a details field where you can enter in as much descriptive text about an item as you want.
  • Printing
    Choosing "Print" from the print menu will ship the current list off to your printer.
  • native versions
    There will, eventually be an .exe version for windows and a .app version for mac. Maybe even an installer. oooh.
• Minor Features
  • enable right clicking
    Soon you'll be able to right click on a list item to edit or delete it.
  • using enter
    No more having to reach for your mouse when you're done filling in an item. Just tab on over to the "create" button and hit enter. This basic concept needs to be implemented wherever possible.
