I have to agree. MLO pretty much has the features I wanted in a task
management app (even if I am still struggling to work out how to use them
most effectively), but the lack of an Android app prevented me from even
trying it in the past.
I was prompted to come back to it after a long-promis
I require my task manager to be with me at all times, whether that be a
desktop or laptop computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. MLO-Desktop, as it
exists today, meets almost 100% of my needs as a task management tool. So
from a development perspective, I would like to see MLO's resources to
direct t
Pottster, I think you might be right here. Basically, the costs of
expanding into other platforms (time, effort, investment) may have
been hugely under-estimated and may now prohibit further signifciant
development of desktop MLO. But if Andrey is making more money (or
thinks he will make more mone
Ok, here's a prediction...
Following the ios5 announcement yesterday I foresee phone/tablet wars being
waged in the os arena as much as over form factor. This means that limited
MLO development resources will continue to be occupied with an endless
development cycle enhancing the mobile/tablet
*" I can't wait for the iPad beta to appear and hope to see this version
take on a significant subset of the every day functionality in the desktop
version."*
I think that is it in a nutshell. This move to mobile is useful if the
parts of MLO that you use are the ones that actually get ported
I think we are generally in raging agreement here, the words are just a
little different. The core of MLO is and should always be a desktop app. It
would be nice to have a Mac version but we have a PC version and it has all
the power and ease of use any of us could expect at this time and will
I don't know why you would think a server app would be "less capable" then
individual mobile apps. MLO is xml and java and both are more compatible on
a server then in the mobile arena.
Also, Having to split your resources between a bunch of mobile platforms
limits what is capable of being por
I personally was having a hard time keeping up with all the
functionality additions to the Desktop version, and to be honest, they
were distracting me in the use of the product. I would get used to
doing something one way, or having the interface be the way it was,
and then a new version would be
Here's where I'm coming from on this. I use MLO desktop very actively,
and what amazes me about it, is its flexibility. The later additions
to functionality such as to-do filtering, formating rules, dependent
tasks and colours and truly inspired. I'm often thinking about putting
in a feature reques
I have to agree with the current direction. To me the iPad version and the
smartphone versions are the extension to the desktop version that are most
generally and urgently needed. I see these devices as being enhancements to
the desktop version because they are extending the reach and accessibi
I was actually all for iphone development when this was raised
initially but I had no idea how long and difficult this development
would be, or that desktop development would stop completely during the
process. And judging by the results so far, there is plenty of work
still to do on these platform
Well you are arguing about "closing the barn door after all the animals have
escaped." However, since we are talking about it, I'll give my view. I
come out somewhere in the middle.
I think the long term future of task management software will be in true PDA
devices. I'm thinking those devic
I agree with you 100%. For me, the lack of development is completely
dispiriting. I would go further; the smartphone apps will only prosper as
ports of a *successful desktop product*. Sorry, but if the current
development team think the reverse, then they are sadly deluded. I think MLO
is in re
