Hi, I ran into chandler and like the ideas implemented.
When I started using chandler I discovered some issues I like to bring to your attention.
Chandler doesn't follow my mac's date view. Over here in Europe we have the date view dd-mm-yy not mm/dd/yy This is a important point if you like chandler being adopted also by European user this should fixed. Chandler should flow the OS X date preferences from system preferences. Many apps do why doesn't Chandler?
To my big surprise and big disappointment chandlers e-mail function doesn't suport autofill from my OS X address book. This is a huge caviate. I hope this is already on your roadmap with a high priority. Really this just should work like in mail.app from OS X.
It's strange that a lot of things that usually goes in the pref panel is arranges in different locations in drop-down menus and other panels. (like the e-mail configuration) If you like to get a lot of Mac users adopting chandler you really should follow this. Mac user really like that applications behave like in a unified way and that preferences of a app are grouped in the pref pannel Have a look at mail.app Safari and the like.
Certificates. having a own certificate store really makes no sense at all when working on OS X. Mac has it's own certificate store in keychain. Having a other application with it's own certificate store is a pain in the ass. FireFox does and really it's dreadful and ever mac user using certificates dislikes this on FireFox. Please don't take the same road in the end Mac users will despise your application. Just invest time and effort to get things right using keychain it will be a burden less for your app developers and for the Mac users of chandler.
Having tested your application for about two hours and finding the above described drawbacks. I come to the conclusion chandler has still some major issues that developers should take care of before chandler comes to maturity.
I hope my comment will be helpful in developing chandler. I will keep track of future developments. And hope this promising app will come to maturety soon.
Regards, Bart
