I’m really hoping to see something from Cultured Code on the iPhone at some point in time. I just love Things. :)

@Bob: Are you referring to the Yak timer in Midnight Inbox? A good place to discuss and request features is through our Feature Requests Forum or by sending a message via the Feedback Dialog in Things itself which you can open from the Things > Provide Things Feedback... menu command.

@Jürgen: Thank you for your quick response, I’m more comfortable with Things now, I appreciate the hard work that has gone into it.

I’m evaluating Things against OmniFocus at the moment and a feature such as Yak would really help my choice. Is such a feature planned for Things?

[...] Jürgen: “One of the main responsibilities of a developer is to keep guard over the gestalt of a program. It is all too easy to let your application burst into a universe of hardly connected little features. We have all seen it happen. But it is equally easy to ignore your customers’ needs and to embark on a journey where nobody is following you.” [...]

@Bob: For more frequent updates I suggest you have a look at our Twitter stream. We will also create a features page in the Wiki soon. I take it as a compliment that you believe we are capable of creating this site and Things as a "hobby" :). But our commitment is as deep as you can possibly imagine.

Nice entry but I’m considering Things as my primary GTD app and there have been no software updates recently. Could you please provide a changelog for Things?

The biggest concern for picking a personal management software for me is trusting the upstream – could you please assure me that Things is a full time project and not a hobby project for you?

Also, this has been mentioned elsewhere by other people, but the Yak feature from Inbox would be greatly appreciated in Things :)

When it comes to product creation, Apple don’t even run focus groups.

When it comes to developing features, and feature requests, on an existing product, Apple listen.

It’s that simple.

There’s a difference between designing by committee and listening to user feedback. Unfortunately Apple’s just not very good at making this distinction most of the time, and they tend to throw an adolescent hissy fit whenever they misinterpret the latter as the former since so many of their engineers take themselves so seriously. Though I guess there *could* be some other reason that XCode’s text editor still can’t keep up with my typing on a dual G5 the same way that CodeWarrior’s could on a 100MHz Performa, I just haven’t figured out what it is yet.
