Chandler Desktop Dashboard reality 004250 collection item view wish event

shared by Graham Perrin on 25 Dec 08 - Cached
  • the Dashboard purely as a place to collect new notes, an “intake” area
  • collections must be initially kept out of the Dashboard
  • everything that could possibly be worked on right now needs to be in one place. I use the Dashboard to answer the question, ‘what should I work on next’. Every Collection is in the Dashboard
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 30 going at a time
  • a cross-collection view of all their data where the could process items regardless of what collections
  • what’s new across all of your collections without having to click on individual collections one-by-one
  • Dashboard collection in Chandler
  • ground for experimentation
  • no way to view items that are in the Dashboard but not in any other collections

      I did wish for this in the early days, but in practice I don't require this type of view.

    Interesting use cases.

004250 hierarchy

shared by Graham Perrin on 25 Jan 09 - Cached
  • computer file systems
  • book stores and supermarket aisles
  • hierarchical org charts
  • ...57 more annotations...
  • Trees abound in
  • trees prevail
  • they clearly limit us
  • Semi-lattices are non-polar, where do you start, where do you end?
  • Reality and the human brain's ability to grok it are far more complex than a tree
  • dumbing down isn't always a bad thing
  • you don't really understand something unless you can explain it in 5 words
  • Let's improve on the software
  • too strict, too dry, too simplistic
  • browse the same data via many different trees
  • visual information mapping hasn't already taken over the world
  • that break the tree
  • brains ARE really really good at seeing relationships
  • linear doublethink

      Graham: review!
  • extremely adept at looking at the same data and reorganizing it into different trees in rapid succession
  • in one file cabinet, on one bookshelf, in one way
  • forcing us to look at our data
  • semi-lattii
  • Challenge: Find balance between trees
  • distorts the truth
  • expressive but often not communicative
  • same data in as many different kinds of trees as they want
  • start at any point in the tree
  • same data, different perspectives
  • rotate the tree
  • visual cues that seemed to burst forth with meaning begin to feel meaningless, random, disorienting
  • "watch" in "slow-motion" or user manipulated motion
  • future Chandler may have a richer graphical interface
  • different tree organizations of the same data
  • Overlaying the visualizations
  • composite semi-lattice
  • richness of semi-lattii
  • feed it to users in a way they can easily understand: trees
  • All parameters set in the browser are reflected in the Search bar
  • Saved rules
  • better than limiting users to a single tree
  • better than overwhleming users with a semi-lattice
  • "dumbing down" the data for the user
  • avoid UI shock via information overload
  • present users with the full-force and complexity of their information in a way that is understandable
  • possible, even within the confines of the 2-dimensional
  • easily walk from one tree to another
  • breaking away from hierarchy and how people used to hierarchies of folder are coping
  • http://weblog.edventure.com/blog/_archives/2004/4/19/36468.html
  • the freedom and amorphous-ness of a search-centric navigation paradigm
  • a little built in structure
  • Dashboard view / triage workflow as a point of entry
  • search to get within range
  • navigate using contextual clues to find the exact item
  • fixed hierarchies present a workflow bottlenck
  • we know what topic to file something under, but we don't know where that topic belongs in the hierarchy
  • pilers never bother to file
  • something new comes along to screw up the hierarchy
  • unwieldy taxonomies with duplication and confusion
  • Sometimes we don't know what we're looking for until we see it in context
  • brain's ability to use environmental clues to remember things

The Chandler Project Blog » Blog Archive » Thunderbird Plugin For Chandler - 0 views

blog.chandlerproject.org/...hunderbird-plugin-for-chandler

shared by Graham Perrin on 24 May 09 - Cached
  • plug-in would allow Thunderbird users to interface directly with the Chandler Hub
  • Is the idea of a plug-in to Thunderbird useful to the Chandler User base?
  • Will a plug-in help attract new users?

    On one hand: I'd prefer to see Chandler-oriented extensions to iCal and/or Mail in Mac OS X. On the other hand, extending key applications in that way could raise unrealistic expectations of what should be seen in (for example) Calendar in iPhone OS 3.0.

    http://n2.nabble.com/-tp2951656p2951656.html suggests a Chandler triage application for iPhone OS. I'd like to see comparable widgets for Dashboard in Mac OS X. I assume that such things could be at least partially portable to other platforms.
