TaskWriter  – “Productivity Your Way” – new version is now live.

Why “productivity your way” ? Because we strongly believe that tools should not stay in your way when you’re trying to accomplish something, but nicely integrate with your way of doing stuff.

Long story short, let’s have some examples.

• in love with Excel and Word ?

export your tasks to Word, Excel, OpenOffice, Text, XML or CSV. Your data, your choice.

• used to having sticky notes all around the wall  ?

use the bird-view new interface for full control

• emails all the day  ?

TaskWriter has powerfull email integration (in two different flavours, actually !)

• calendar is a must for you  ?

That’s OK, TaskWriter has full integrated calendar.

• traveling a lot  ?

use the mobile version at taskwriter.com/m

• living in your browser  ?

the Firefox specialized extension is for you

• want to customize everyting  ?

with TaskWriter you can define an unlimited number of lists, actions and contexts

• still need your data out of the system  ?

TaskWriter is offering RSS, iCal, and XML feeds.

Anything else that we missed ?

1. more details available

You can now choose whether you need to print the task data or not. Press the “full” button to print everything, or just press “print” to have only the tasks.

2. better print layout

The tasks are now printed just like you see them on the screen. No more flat lists

…maybe loading “on demand”.

Thanks for suggesting this, sree !

Curios about the new Google Chrome browser performance, we have measured the performance for TaskWriter on several browsers.

Some facts :

• TaskWriter is written using the Google Web Toolkit framework.
• Most of processing is done client side. After login, all user’s data is retrieved browser side. Next, each filtering operation is performed locally (JavaScript).

How we tested :

• We have measured the amount of time required for the two most costly operations : 1. retrieving all data from the server after login, 2. filtering the list of tasks on custom filter and rendering the task table. For each browser, we considered the sum of the two time amounts.
• For each operation, we have repeated the measurement 10 times.
• We have dropped the best and the worse result.
• We have computed the arithmetic mean of the remaining 8 results.

The results

Found something interested to read, but no time to do it ? Just press a button in your browser toolbar, and the item will be collected in taskwriter.

Same for blog or interesting website.

Thanks for the idea, Octav !

It might be really interesting to find stuff you did a few months ago on a certain project, wouldn’t it ?

and not only in the task page, as it is now.

…when you set the context, list, or project. It’s going to be simpler if you just enter the first few letters an having everything filtered.

Thanks for suggesting that, Michael !

• with or without the notes attached to a task
• displaying or hiding the context / list or project information

Your print, your choice. Soon.

Thank you for that suggestion, Ben !
