Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

A year ago I did some extensive GTD Software testing but found nothing satisfied. So I was very pleased to see that Inbox beta had gone live. I really like it. The Design, the workflow, the idea behind it.


After 2 days of heavy testing Inbox, I am very mad. Performance and the stability of Inbox is horrible
And no, it is not my System! ... as I was in doubt, I did a new System installation (install and archive).

need an example?
When I want to change the active context in "Work" menu, it is not possible to chose one that is in a folder, if that folder is not open. >>> nothing happens
it does not change! only when that context folder is open, active context does change.

this is just one of those bugs, where I do an action (such as delete an item) and nothing happens. ......... or strange things happen (iCal syncing)
I can imagine that source code. awful. all those SQL statements..... how does it come that when I close the app, my view settings wount be stored? I have to hit Command -s all the time.

why on Earth is it not possible to make great software that is nevertheless stable and reasonable fast?
(nice GUI, efficient, intuitive, Mac OS X Core tech)

Do your home work and join forces with some world class coders. Inbox is really great, but it needs serious debugging.
maybee Mr. "Midnight Beep Softworks" needs a financial funding to attract a database pro and good coders ;o)

Alternatives to Midnight Inbox - hugels

Hi
Well, I am testing OmniFocus (still Alpha)
and work with iGTD
http://bargiel.home.pl/iGTD/index.html

but it has a bug that makes me crazy when I forget to save.
(When It comes to a crash, it loses the data you typed in, since the last save)

So. I'll test Inbox again.
because it is the only real GTD Software for Mac out there (=workflow compliant GUI).
(iGTD does not comply with GTD a 100%
The Inbox is in the Context view, not in the Project view)
