Full Safari / OS X Support!

Filed under: Bug Fixes, Features, News — Felix & Tim on November 27, 2007 @ 10:29 am

Hey folks,we’re glad to announce full support for Safari 3 and Firefox 2 under os x. If you’ve used PostTask with Firefox under os x you probably noticed that the time picker was acting all weird when using the backspace key - this is fixed now. For Safari we had to tweak our CSS a tiny bit and also remove some bad JS, but its running like a charm now.What’s next? Well one of us is getting an iPhone next week … so lets see what happens with that. We’re also working hard on implementing things like the much demanded ability to save notes, categorize tasks and some other new features to boost your productivity. Stay tuned. 

Drag & Drop bug fix / What’s happening?

Filed under: Bug Fixes, News — Felix & Tim on November 12, 2007 @ 6:50 am

Hey folks,

we just fixed a weird bug that would cause tasks to double in size after a drag & drop to a different day. ‘Do Homework’ would turn into ‘Do HomeworkDo Homework’ - no good. Turns out this was a little left-over from the recent switch to jQuery UI but nothing serious.

Meanwhile Tim and I are working hard on getting automated billing working so we can finally launch and move on to implement more fun features. If you’re interested in pricing: We’re aiming at a monthly fee of $5 for the application as it is right now, and newly developed functionality would get packaged with more expensive plans. If you have any thoughts about this, feel free to comment : ).

New features PoC! Please give feedback!

Filed under: Bug Fixes, News — Felix & Tim on November 3, 2007 @ 11:45 pm

Hey folks,

lately we’ve been toying around with how we could add new features to the application in the future without destroying its nice and light-weight interface. Here is how we could imagine this to work:

New features GUI PoC

The idea is to add some “tabs” below the current task. They would only show up if they are actually used, but you could also configure certain “tabs” to be always visible. If a task is using no tabs yet, you could simply add one by using a little drop-down menu that activates when you hover it and which is represented by a little icon right next to the text (not shown in this picture).

Please let us know what you think about this and what you’re ideas about adding new features are!

Thanks!

Everything working again : )

Turns out that the update to the latest cake version caused some other things to break. However, by now everything should be fixed, and the way authorization keys work has been completely refactored, so we’re only a small step away from adding support for permanent login.

Stay tuned : ).

TimeZone support, yeah!

Filed under: Bug Fixes, Features, News — Felix & Tim on October 20, 2007 @ 9:20 pm

Alright folks, amongst with some other bug fixes and small enhancements we’re happy to announce full time zone support! Please go to your “My Account” page and select the time zone you’re in. This will cause the application to know when its midnight for you and move tasks over to the new day. It also enabled proper time display if JavaScript is disabled.

Other improvements include:

  • Tasks with the same progress are now also ordered alphabetically
  • The birthday field has been removed from the “My Account” page, it has no business there at this point.

First round of bug fixing

Filed under: Bug Fixes, News — Felix & Tim on @ 1:40 am

Hey folks,

here is a list of bugs that have been fixed so far:

  • Editing user profile would erase the current account password, ouch
  • After erasing the account password 0ne could log in as Felix under some circumstances, double-ouch
  • The account edit page would set the default birthday to Oct-20th
  • Dragging a task to the current day would make it disappear temporarily
  • Homepage would show signup form even if you’re already a registered user who is logged in
  • Extremely long task names (> 255 chars) would appear to save properly, but if you refresh the page they got truncated to 255 chars. (The limit is still 255, but the truncating is shown directly after the save is performed, without the need of a refresh).

If you find new bugs, please don’t hesitate to use our bug reporting page to bring them to our attention. For general feedback, please email us at: feedback@debuggable.com.

We’re really happy with all the feedback and good bug reports we got so far - please keep this stuff coming : ).
