  • shameless BRIBERY
  • The page should ideally:
  • a) work well without a mouse
  • b) when re-purposed: fit neatly into a widget, not too large
  • c) be tactile
  • let's not treat (c) as an obstacle
  • if Google Wave Preview is not the bribery you want, then I might find something more interesting, less nebulous
  • someone from Apple will read this post and send me a future-device

  • Chandler is meant to live in the middle of all these tools
  • ...26 more annotations...
  • pull all the disparate bits and pieces of information
  • into a contextualized, personal and shared ’source of truth’
  • the user interface we have today
  • contains vestiges of the ‘old’ way of thinking
  • proceed to lighten-up the app so that it’s a more accurate reflection of what Chandler is meant to do
  • focus on the quick item entry bar
  • the way to create new items in Chandler
  • see the messages you sent/received from Chandler
  • less of a “Mail Application”
  • credibility as a useful product
  • huge amount of effort and $$ we need to expend to be acceptable as a complete email solution
  • trust is important
  • move my group’s calendaring over
  • my own TODOs
  • Hopefully contact/address book stuff is next
  • Mail, iCal, Address Book
  • all separate, all highly functional
  • no clutter
  • the roles of the programs aren’t confused
  • interfaces aren’t cluttered up but there’s a heck of a lot of functionality
  • deceptively simple
  • Enterprise CRM’s are too complex and can only be used effectively when connected
  • fundamental link up between people and events, complex tasks and so on
  • I may be using ‘workflow’ differently
  • a loose framework of usage patterns
  • workflow-centric designs that bridge silos

      Without paying attention to database technologies, the easiest comparison might be with iTunes. Concerning the Save command, in the File menu: iTunes has no need for this, the application simply works. To users, the absence of a Save command is unremarkable.

  • Tags make items look like they're multiplying like rabbits
  • the ability to assign more than 1 tag to an item
  • ...17 more annotations...
  • becomes a cognitive quagmire when it comes time to get a grip on the scope of your data
  • ramplant multiplication of items showing up in multiple tag-groups can make a mountain out of a mole hill of data
  • Tags don't actually help you understand your data better
  • hierarchies visualize degrees of separation
  • in Tagsonomies, all neighbors are created equal
  • If what you're looking for doesn't exist in the tag or the intersection of tags you're currently looking at, you're out of luck
  • Without a visualization tool, tags are just as dumb if not dumber than hierarchies
  • 2 kinds of relationships
  • tags are either Related or Not related
  • Tagsonomies are too flexible for their own good
  • Some of the MIT Haystack studies asked users to "tag" URLs they found on the web with keywords
  • many of the users began to feel like the whole process pointless
  • they find it pointless to apply the keywords after a while
  • Tags are too generic
  • The notion of "related tags" is too generic
  • Tags are unable to store important metadata about both our data and the relationships that govern and structure that data
  • Tagged data sets quickly explode beyond human ability to extract narrative and scope from the data

004250 hierarchy

shared by Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08 - Cached
  • no apparent rhyme or reason for the way in which sub-folders and sub-sub-folders are arrayed, making it difficult for you to predict as you navigate through each level of the hierarchy, what sub-levels will appear. It also makes the hierarchy as a whole, difficult to grok once you opened up a few branches of the hierarchy. You're presented with an array of relationships and no easy way to chunk them down

    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      In 1.0.2 I suspect that e-mail is copied (not (copied then deleted) moved).
  • provided they are on the same machine

      Can we more clearly define 'same machine'?
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 22 Dec 08
       
      I see no requirement for IMAP client and Chandler Desktop to be on the same computer. IMAP client at computer A communicates a user-initiated move of a message to one of three Chandler Desktop-specific IMAP mailboxes. Chandler Desktop at computer B performs a one-time download from those three mailboxes.
  • early adopter, metrotechnicals as experimental email users
  • One-time download of new mail from IMAP
  • Basic message composition
  • Required features for supporting collaboration workflows
  • Reply, reply all, forward
  • Send and receive
  • rich text editing
  • draft, queued, sent, read, unread, needs reply, replied to, forwarded
  • email status column
  • Email threading support
  • overall clustering solution
  • stamping communications workflows
  • Features not targeted for 1.0
  • Drag and drop emails and attachments from other email clients
