TaskDriver 2.0 gets Gadgetized!

Posted By tbrillon

A while back I mentioned that we were working on widgets/gadgets for TaskDriver that would extend our application out to be used with sites like FaceBook and Google. This week Joel has been making a good bit of progress on the Google Gadget for the TaskDriver 2.0 Dashboard and I have a sneak peek preview of what it looks like!

Here it is as seen from the customized Google homepage:

TaskDriver Dashboard Gadget for Google


When completed any TaskDriver user will be able to view task from the Google home page. How awesome is that?

Cole is also moving along with his tasks and should be wrapping them up soon. Once that is completed, I will open up the beta test for all who would like to participate.

Thats all for now - see you all next week.

Another Week, Another Story

Posted By tbrillon

Well we have had quite a few people asking about the beta and when they will be receiving their access key and well my answer is.... SOON.

We allowed the first set of beta testers in and we found a few things to address and so we are working on them now. I had an epiphany one night about how our dashboard (index page) should look and after some thought I decided that we would change it now rather than later. Cole is working hard on that and so when his ready to test it we will open the beta door again (no pressure Cole :P)

Some other enhancements had been made, Like being able to edit your LAST task note after submission was executed. This will allow you to fix your a mistakes on notes since communication is so crucial on tasks. Doesn't seem like much now but later when your blowing and going on your projects it will come in handy! You'll see what I mean.

When Joel and I discussed some of the subscription types we were going to put into the new version, I was initially thinking of a tiered type service.

Tier 1 - was free and allowed you to create a limited amount of projects with assignees and tasks- It also displays advertising material.

Tier 2 - is a payed tier that gave a you little more options. projects, tasks and so on.

Tier 3 - is the payed tier that is "platinum" no limits on anything.

This is the current plan (don't worry it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some others out there) and since then I have thinking about another approach.

1. TaskDriver 2.0 being totally free to use online. No limits on projects, tasks or assignees.
2. Allow users to buy a TaskDriver license, download the entire application and install it inside their corporate networks.

I am still kicking this idea around. If you have any comments on this - by all means post em!

Our forums are finally making a comeback. We are working on them now and soon you guys can express yourselves there. We will let you know the moment they go live.

Ok thats it for this week - got work to do :)
God Bless - TBrillon
