Here at P. Fort we are always up for some sweet web tools. I use a particular web tool until I find another one that does the same thing but better with less unused features.
Over the last several months I've used 30 boxes for the to-do list feature only. I never really used the calendar feature, which is the main part of 30 boxes. The calendar feature is average, who wants mediocre. I want a Calendar is blows me away by being just a calendar. I also recently tried Plaxo's calendar for a couple of days. It didn't take me long to move on.
Google Calendar is by far the best online calendar to date. I continue to try other calendars from time to time but I always switch right back to Google Calendars.
The 30 boxes to-do list has been replaced with 37signals basecamp. It's hard finding just a to-do list that does what I need it to do. 37 Signals applications are fantastic but still have room to grow and simplify even more.
A great to-do list allows you to add items to a list very easily and allow you to reorganize as things change. A great to-do list has a passion for ever changing events. So far basecamp has the best to-do list but it is just a small portion of the project management application, mainly used for teams of people.
- A Passion for ever Changing Events
- Ease of use and Simplicity
- Color Coding
- Catagories and Tags
- Archival Stats that Reveal Productivity Over Time
When developers are working on a new web app/tool they need to do one thing really well. The last thing that we need is another application that is full of features that detract from the core function of the application. Browsers now have snazzy little tabs that open within the same window. It's time to kill the clutter and start making concentrated web tools. This way tabs can be opened for the to-do list of choice, calendar of choice, address book of choice, etc etc.
The browser becomes the frame work for your choice of web tools.
