For one, for “built-in” formats there is an expectation that this also works in DTTG under iOS. It’s an existing technology that can be easily integrated via Javascript or via the included Swift wrapper.Įverything is “easy”, until it … isn’t. OK, but this doesn’t require them to invent anything. For people who aren’t married to a task management app, this would provide a fantastic task management and outlining experience natively within DT, which would be a great selling point. I could create and edit a TP document, just like a rich text document, or any other natively-supported DT document. For existing TP users like myself, it would offer the convenience of not having to run TP in a separate window.
By providing the capability to support TP format natively, DT would become a stronger product. It’s probably the only task management app that can be operated completely within the outline window, not requiring any sidebars, toolbars, dialog boxes, or other UI distractions.
Here’s an opportunity to add those features without reinventing the wheel.ĭue to its plain-text format, light UI and the fact that it’s now open sourced, TP would be ideal for integrating in DT. You alluded to the seeming lack of interest in TP on the DT forums, yet there are numerous threads from users requesting better outlining features and/or task management features in DT. DT has extremely weak outlining capability and no task management features at all. TP is one of the best outliners available on OS X and also happens to have some great task management features. It’s a natural fit for DEVONthink since both applications operate within a hierarchical paradigm, DT at the file system level and TP at the document level. I understand your point about feature bloat, but TaskPaper is not just some random application.
