Re: Drafts v1.1 available

Like the general direction of the new icon, but it looks unfinished somehow… sorry to say, but compared to its current state I actually prefer the old one…am gonna upgrade anyway, though ;-)

It would be great if we could add a task to Omnifocus directly from Drafts !

Freudian, I'm sure. Thanks for pointing it out.

I have to say "it's *not* available" is a great typo. ^^

Hi guys,

Glad you liked the review, thanks for the great app!

In bullet 4, "effect" used that way means "bring about" -- is that your intention?

Re: Phraseology and iCloud, Dropbox, etc.

Just to make iCloud make sense. To participate in iCloud, your app has to have entitlements to the files to access them. That is the attractive aspect of a Dropbox solution, for sure.

Do you really need a Mac version for syncing to the Mac to make sense? What about just syncing to the Mac so that editing can continue there in one's preferred desktop editor? I would use Phraseology on the iPad and BBEdit on the Mac.

Ironic, just sent you an email with pictures celebrating Terminology compared to the built-in dictionary. Must be a new meme :D

I prefer the 0.5mm version, but my weapon on choice is also the Pentel Twist-Erase.

I am a lefty...and, yes, the side of my hand has been known to shimmer with the soft sparkle of graphite.

That is fabulous news. I'm a big fan of Terminology via Instapaper.

Tweetbot is there on the iPhone version already. Didn't include iPhone-only apps in the iPad list.

Tweetbot would be nice.

I would happily pay more for a version that worked on both the iPad *and* iPhone!! I really dislike having to manage different versions of apps for my different devices. :-(

Wanted to let you know I had trouble finding this -- searching 'terminology' came up with loads of apps called Terminology [something], and even after tapping 'Terminology Ph' (what's that?) it told me 'Terminology 2.0 now available' which made it sound like 'Terminology Ph' and 'Terminology 2.0' aren't the same thing. Hope that's useful.

Indeed, but try explaining to the business team when they ask for the ability to delete an item and you say it will take a couple weeks or a month to do and possibly introduce a ton of bugs (if you do it right and haven't designed for it from the start). There is absolutely no excuse for a new project to be designed without an intelligent delete system in place, though. Sadly most developers never give it thought at the early stages.

Re: http://blog.agiletortoise.com/post/4416030458

Greg Pierce — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 11:16:50 -0000

I agree there's some places confirmation is reasonable, or even desirable -- but "it's hard" isn't necessarily a good reason not to do it.

Re: http://blog.agiletortoise.com/post/4416030458

methodin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 11:14:01 -0000

Being able to undo an action, while potentially easy to implement, requires thought at the very early stages of development. If you have an existing application and implement a delete feature, would you rather display an alert or re-factor your entire back-end data structures and front-end logic to facilitate it?

That being said, your point of UNDO is valid and a delete should always just update a flag in the dataset and all GETs or LISTs should check this flag. Doing hard DELETEs in any system is a pretty big risk - not only for your customers but also for you if you have to answer "Where did my data go?"

You admit to not reading the ToS.

They sent you a polite email and even followed up when you asked for guidance.

Somehow they are the bad guy?
