Hey robby, first of all this all looks real cool and yummy we all know you’ve got some serious skills, so stop showing off huh (actually i’d want to see more …)

A couple of thoughts, first the reference tab flows under the states bar with the default window width. No iggie.

Then how ’bout losing the glass and window decorations, more white space for free. Integrating the thoughtbox logo and title in the states bar as the first state but differentiated enough, to represent the ‘all’ states you said you forgot at the wireframing level (the “thoughtbox state” ?), and finally adding the window decorations to the far right, in case someone wants to close the app, i don’t know why they would, you constantly have some things to do, you need your thoughtbox.

Multiple contexts ? Tags ? Notes integrated right under the item ?

Don’t get me wrong i’m not trying to make you work more week-ends (I’ll translate it in french for you)

Honestly, this is great stuff robby, thanks for sharing !

Thanks for all of the positive feedback folks!

@fabiopedrosa: Good call. I posted a binary here: http://blog.nerdplusart.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/thoughtbox_v01_binaries.zip. Keep in mind that this is not a functioning app though!

@Darren: looking forward to the sharing.

@Ken: I would LOVE to have it translated. Once I finish this up, maybe you could help me.

This is great app! Thanks Robby. If you had any plan to translate it into other language like Japanese, please let me know.

Best,

Ken Azuma

It’s funny, I’ve been working on my own WPF GTD app, mostly to build some more WPF/WCF experience. I’ve also been incorporating the new Composite Application library and some new approaches to application development. It’s a lot of fun, but it’s so hard to find the time when your hobby is also your full-time job.

You’ve made some real progress, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes. When I ever get to a point where I can pass my source along, I’ll share too. Take care!
