Comments on: HiTask: UI is Not Enough

As for Nozbe – we’ve just added new ways of adding tasks to Nozbe and added new missing features… and we are redesigning the user interface and I must admit HiTask has a nice UI…. but it’s for you to decide – there are lot’s of apps for GTD now and I guess all of them differ in one way or the other – and I’m sorry to say – you have to test all of them until you find the one that makes your day. Nozbe takes a very different approach to GTD than HiTask… so it’s up to you to know which one is “the one approach” that will work for you.

[...] Dobry interfejs to jednak nie wszystko i w moim odczuciu HiTask, poza szybkością i łatwością używania, nie oferuje nic szczególnego, a wręcz brakuje kilku funkcjonalności, które można by chcieć znaleźć w tego typu rozwiązaniu. Być może zbyt duży nacisk położony został na interfejs, a nieco mniejszy na sam oferowany zestaw funkcji. Zainteresowanym polecam osobiste zapoznanie się z aplikacją albo nieco więcej szczegółów na Profy i WWD. [...]

Can anyone tell me how this one compares to Gubb or Nozbe?

Right now I’m using Gmail to manage my todo list. I think the difficulty of all these services is that it’s ANOTHER account and another window to keep open and another site to remember to visit each day. I like using Gmail to manage my list because I’m already looking at my email all day. I think if Gmail was to integrate a todo list that could be shared across teams that would be the end of the story. I do like the ability to assign list to team members in HITASK but unfortunately that means that you have to get buy-in from the rest of the team to use the service as well (unless your the top-down do-or-die type manager). Does anyone else know of a list sharing program that allows people (non-members) to be able to access the lists via RSS?

Brian, thanks for the heads-up on the options. I must plead blindness – though I wish more Web 2.0 apps would provide the basics of a help file instead of depending on the “poke and prod” school of usability.

Chris, WWD writer Judi Sohn liked Gubb when she reviewed it:

What todo list would you recommend?

Nice writeup, Mike. Just a couple things though: “HiTask tasks can’t be printed, exported, or synchronized to anything else.” HiTask does allow you to export to iCal by feed (which you can also save and stick in Google Calendar, for example). Says “iCalendar feed” under the task list. Also, to print, just use the browser file > print (HiTask uses CSS for printing – they should provide a link though). Just thought I’d give the heads up. We started using HiTask the other day and we’re liking it so far. I especially like being able to assign individual tasks to other teammates.
