IDEA: Create a modern version of Lotus Agenda

(1/3) > >>

IainB:
Reading the post about deviantopian's To-Do Tree (I didn't try it, but it looked nifty) made me think of something else.
What started me thinking was the screenshot with that "sidewise tree" hierarchy view - it was redolent of the Lotus Agenda "Category" tree, and made me realise (again) that when someone has an idea they will generally be surprised to find that it has already been invented.   :(

Lotus Agenda (currently available as DOS freeware from IBM) - now THAT would be an application worth emulating by Donation Coder. It was a super-sophisticated free-form PIM + text database, that just happened to be useful for To-Do lists, amidst lots of other things.    :-*

Anyone in Donation Coder up to the challenge of recreating Lotus Agenda? (Don't say "Chandler" - that's nowhere near like it, and never will be, given the rate and direction it is proceeding in.)

I reckon that if you can come up with a find-and-run like FARR (which, imho is nothing short of a brilliant piece of work), then you might have the capability to do a leapfrog over Lotus Agenda and bring it to Windows if you so wanted. What to use? XML, or SQL, or maybe...hmmm - so many choices! If you do decide to take up the challenge, then please feel free to use me as a ß tester. I used to be a Lotus Agenda uber-power user, so was familiar with most of its features, constraints and limitations.

I'm trying.

But only for Mac ?

AgendaRediviva:
Dormouse, yes, only for the Mac. It's what I know best, and, IMHO, some of the technologies in OS X (Spotlight, Core Data, and Cocoa bindings, to name a few) are more easily leveraged for this kind of effort.
