App for the milk development update

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

I originally planed to get the application into beta before 5. of july and before I go abroad for three weeks. As so often I did not get nearly as much work done as I wanted and the beta will be delayed to the middle of august. I will not be able to check my email every day but I will spend several hours in a boring class which will give me lots of time planing out features and their implementation. When I am Back at the end of July I will release a new update alongside of my application hosting platform which has a forum for bugs and requests, documentation and FAQs, so please stay tuned.

App for the milk – third alpha released

Changes

I just uploaded the third alpha release of app for the milk. there are again only minor visible changes but under the hood already lies the implementation for the filter system that will make advanced search and smart lists possible. I implemented 3 basic methods as a proof of concept. the search also now works in both views.

  • inList:YOURLISTNAME (shows only tasks in specified list, behaves strange in the list view since tasks are already sorted by lists)
  • dueBefore:DATE (filters tasks due before this date)
  • dueAfte:DATE (filters tasks due after this date)

dateparsing for the american date format has also been improved and will now also work in the search field.

Icon

The icon is still a ugly blue square, and since I am not capable of producing a decent icon( I tried) I would like to invite everybody to help me out and create on for the application. I can not pay you since the application is free but I hope I can encourage some people to contribute, and every body who contributes will certainly be credited for his work publicly.

Thank you

I also want to thank everybody again who sent me feedback that helps improving the app.
