Re: [MLO] Is there ever going to be a web app for MLO?

Let me try to explain the security issue and why the expensive and burdensome task or maintaining separate code bases would do nothing to solve this.

If a web app is going to work with your tasks, it needs read/write access to some database where your tasks are kept. The obvious choice would be the cloud synch database. But exposing your tasks to an internet app also exposes everyone else's tasks to the internet. You may not care if a hacker has access to your task list but there are some users who would object. It makes no difference whether you are I are on the same code base, if your app has access to the cloud synch database then my tasks are at the same risk as yours. The way to manage this risk would be to incorporate security enhancements into the cloud synch database. For example, encrypting the data in the cloud sync database. This way, you would have the freedom to unlock your own tasks to your web app plus any attackers from the Internet who take an interest, while I would be able to leave my tasks secured.

I would certainly like this, and for the view designs to likewise be common to all devices. Everything drawn from the web. When MLO started, there was no such thing as a webapp. I am a paid-up supporter of MLO on Apple, Windows and Android, but would prefer an equivalent monthly sub together with a webapp. But I also like knowing I can keep the app versions I have paid for forever!

Do you realize how old MyLifeOrganized still is, I'm sure it's based on MFC, using Windows 98 technology wherever possible. It would not be like them to create a whole new cloud-based application, but if they did, you would be paying by the month not for installation license so it is a whole new ballpark if they tried that. I would be very surprised, as it has been so awkward just getting to where they could syncronize data via the cloud.

I'd like to hear what Andre thinks these days about making a whole new codebase for that, because more than a decade ago I could see why he didn't finish the Linux version either, and later gets a lot of flak for not haveing one also for Apple OS.

He'd have to have two separate systems then. Keep what there is now for those who want it and have the web version for those who want it.

 All I know is there was a web version of MLO, if it were possible, that is, it would do well because other former (or maybe current?) users of MLO are in the forums for other apps like TickTick and ClickUp making requests for features that MLO already has. It's only a matter of time until what Andrey is offering is easily found online. Regardless, I've got to move to something else that doesn't keep me restricted to the desktop or key fob because I use the calendar sync and the mobile apps don't have it.

You may have missed my point. If I use MLO/desktop AND I use cloud sync, and you use MLO/webwhich is attached to the cloud file, then my data will be insecure even if I myself never use MLO/web.

Andrey could still keep MLO for desktop for those who are paranoid about that. I'm just asking for an online version for those who aren't.

Hi, Joel.

Where will this app obtain access to my tasks? The most logical. and easiest to program, would be to simply take the data from the cloud sync file.But that would be a problem for me. I already consider the security of the cloud sync file to be an area for concern. If any miscreant who has an app and can guess or steal my password can retrieve all my tasks I would consider MLO cloud sync to be profoundly insecure. That would be a shame because I really like MLO cloud sync.

I could go into the reasons why I want it but mainly just want to know if there's a web version of MLO in the works? I've applied a few times to rejoin the beta group but have heard nothing from Andrey so it makes me wonder if there still is a beta group or if there is a version 6 in the works so what's the word humming birds?
