Hi, Wolfgang. There are probably better ways of finding the name and address
of the MLO developer but if you look at 

https://groups.google.com/group/mylifeorganized/tree/browse_frm/month/2005-0
3/3a3eae41b1c52cb7?rnum=21

&_done=%2Fgroup%2Fmylifeorganized%2Fbrowse_frm%2Fmonth%2F2005-03%3F 

you will see

"Andrey Tkachuk, Ukraine"

Subject: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!

 

I've discovered MLO a few days ago and use it on Windows and Android.  This
is the first GTD software that satisfies all my requirements (have tried
paper, Outlook activity lists, Outlook add-in, ThinkingRock)!

- Syncs with Outlook and Android (over WiFi)
- Allows GTD + Covey setup
- Is flexible enough to support my personal style of doing things (structure
and process)
- Superb recurrence feature
- Customizable (filters, formatting)
- Easy and motivating to use (and yes, if all else fails, reading the manual
helps)
- and many more things I don't even use yet

At the moment, I can't think of any features I'm missing (and that says
something...).  Maybe some more information about your company (I haven't
been able to find any name or address, which happens to be illegal in some
countries - if you're based there - and doesn't inspire confidence).

Wolfgang

but how dare you expect to be paid more than anyone else...
and further now that I own this much more expensive software that will work
forever I'll show you.. I am going to take a total loss and pay
for someone else's.

ugh I need a vacationnot only can I not tolerate my own customers

Re: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!

[Lisa Stroyan]

Anyone can create new threads; they really are just emails/posts grouped by
subject line. (For those of you reading on the web, did you know you can
interact with the group entirely over email? Send emails/replies to
mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com). However, I don't think it is effective
to have a bunch of dislikes bunched under a single subject.  It's better to
either start a new subject / thread with what (and how) you would like to
see something improved, post it to or vote for it on mlo.uservoice.com,
especially if it has been discussed to death on the forums, such as adding
calendar functionality. (This group has almost 4000 members...not the best
forum to "vote" for missing features that have already been discussed as
it's "preaching to the choir").

Re: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!

[Trish Putnam]

It's unfortunate for me that I've had to look for other solutions - I love
MLO, but I've moved to a Windows 8.1 phone and there's no way to use it
there.  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.

Re: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!

[Holmes245]

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.

Re: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!

[Trish Putnam]

Yes, I agree, Joel - while I would like a native app for my phone, it's not
the highest priority and I fully understand that and support it, though I
will continue to ask for it so Andrey knows there is an audience :)

However, a web interface would take care of those of us who are not part of
the iPhone/Android ecosystems anymore, as well as people who have chosen
other non-Windows/Mac operating systems.

I'm a long-time user, so it was hard to let go, and I do still look at the
latest Windows-based releases regularly.  It was also a tough call to move
to the Windows phone and leave MLO behind as my daily driver, but there
were other things that I gained from my move that made it worthwhile for
me.  I am ever-hopeful that something will change and allow me to "come
home" though!

 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.

RE: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!

[Dwight Arthur]

Hi, Joel. 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.

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.

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 goo

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.

RE: [MLO] Re: What I really LIKE about MyLifeOrganized!

[Trish Putnam]

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
