Searchable Notes.... Advantages to your extension.#172

O

The world of Task management within gmail is pretty murky with all the extensions that are in the market.

Click up is too much… Google tasks is too little. You guys, Activeinbox and Sortd are different but don’t solve the problem that I have. I can only assume others have it as well. And then there is Boomareng…. I don’t know what to say about those guys…. Their free stuff doesn’t give one enough time to use and experiment with the product. I also think they are making a simple thing complicated. There is also an extension called Taskboard I think, which gives the user the ability to search for tasks and it’s details. It works with google tasks but you have leave the app to search for tasks. I also think Remeber the milk is a great product… But again not well integrated with Gmail.

I am basing my suggestion after having used paid versions of most of these including yours. We also used other products like Yanado… Which we liked. But two Bulgarian guys scared us.

Here is what I think will make it 100 times more usable… SEARCHABLE NOTES….. This handles the issues around relating emails to one another. I could just put a note with a keyword or a tag inside the notes and later search notes and a list of emails will pop up. I currently use such a note app from Bartsolutions. But it doesn’t let me schedule reminders. I would make the searchable note suffisticated enough to accept urls as well. I should be able to put a # and the word after could be created as a tag; Workflowy app does this and works really well. And when I open an email you might consider listing the related emails on the screen somewhere where the notes’ keywords or tags match… A lot to think around this.

Thank you for reading… All the best.
