Yup, and as I said (and have before :) ) I completely understand the issues and the economics of the situation. I've worked in software for many years myself. My purpose was to remind everyone that there ARE ways to support nearly everyone not in the main paths.
And by the way, Dwight, there are even ways to keep the data reasonably secure, though I acknowledge that they are probably not ideal for hypersensitive situations. I have some thoughts on how it could be managed so that there are levels of security depending on your needs.... -----Original Message----- From: "Holmes245" <[email protected]> Sent: 8/23/2014 6:42 To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized! Hey Dwight, actually, I wasn't the one requesting an app for the Windows Phone. It was Trish. I was just explaining that a possible reason (although you list another) was that Andrey has his hands full with development as it was. I have an Android phone.

Believe me, I am not trying to disparage Windows Phone or anyone else’s choice of platform, but a recent study (http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp) showed worldwide 2014q2 market share for Windows Phone to be 2.5%, down from year-ago 3.4%. If your ability to feed your children hinged on how many licenses you could sell, these figures would give you pause. On the other hand, Trish’s suggestion of a web version promises to provide less-than-perfect but fully usable access to MLO for Windows phone and many other less-popular platforms. On yet another hand, please note that there’s a recurring discussion about the need to protect the privacy of any user’s task lists. This discussion is pointing towards end-to-end encryption of customer data in the cloud. Anyone using this sort of encryption would in all probability preclude use of a web interface to display and manage cloud data about tasks. I think it should be a choice: you can have encrypted cloud data, or you can have web access to view and manage cloud data, but not both, Pick one.

Unfortunately, I think the reason Andrey probably hasn't added Windows Phone is that he already has a lot on his plate as it is. Either people are unhappy that he doesn't offer it on every platform or they're unhappy that he can't get around to updating them in a reasonable time. I know what you mean though. In my opinion, if I moved to Windows Phone, it would be a matter of looking at the apps I use and deciding which ones I'm willing to sacrifice. MLO is too valuable to me to drop so I stayed with Android.

If there was a web interface, I could still manage even without a native app, but I HAVE to be able to use my task and time management on my phone.

I think a lot of people find that their case is like yours - they later discover just how feature rich MLO is and realize that they've undervalued its potential. Like you said though, this is because it is so feature rich. Because it is, I suspect many people give up on it before they find out how to use those features. That's why I don't complain as much when the development team is behind on projects like the update to Android. I'm just thankful that there's a program like this that works as it does. When I started using MLO, it was a slow process to discover features. The more I used it, the more I learned about those features. In fact, I'm still learning and discovering more efficient ways to use it. For me, filtering, active actions and the work spaces make doing that much, much easier. Sticking with it, learning how to use it is key to understanding just how useful it could be. I also like your idea of it working online like Workflowy. I wouldn't be against using it online, like something through the Chrome app store or something like that.

But recently I read 'checklist manifesto' and realised that MLO is a great way to manage lots of checklists. Once I got into that paradigm, I have bit the bullet and dug in to learn how to use it. Now I can't see why anyone would want to work without it. So here is a quick list of things I like most about it off the top of my head. - Its extremely flexible, in fact I'd have to say overwhelmingly flexible. - Its overwhelmingly feature packed. - The tab feature to set up permanent views that let you easily clone and modify them on the fly, then either save or get rid of them. - The speed that you can just search for the name of a list, click on it, and go there for editing. - The speed and ease of use, once you get past some of the learning curve. One suggestion before I go. I think Workflowy has the potential to work like MLO if they go in that direction. If not, I wish MLO would use Workflowy as model to implement aspects of the desktop app on the web. Or maybe use the Phone app as a model for a web version of MLO. Anyway, I'd like to see a web version that all the various mlo platforms can sync to the way toodledo does. Please accept my apologies and Keep up the good work.

The happy users are usually quiet and enjoying the software. The unhappy are posting new feature requests :-) So let’s keep the balance here – say us what you are using in MLO and what we did right. Your posts in this thread will help us to understand what features are frequently used and implemented the right way. Newbie may get new information from real users about MLO from this thread! This thread is moderated and all discussions not related to the subject will be deleted/moved to other threads. Thanks! Andrey. www.mylifeorganized.net P.S.
