New iPhone version of Gootodo

I'm happy to announce a new iPhone version of Gootodo, our online todo list.

What's new:

• It's much easier to read your todo list, since the text is custom-formatted for the iPhone screen.

• Redating a todo works great, using a fast Ajax calendar.

• Viewing other days' lists is easy with the "prev" and "next" links on top of the page (or by using the calendar).

• You can tap "Gootodo" on the top of any page to go back to today's list.

• "Your Account", "Help", and "Logout" are available at the bottom of the page.

Two tradeoffs:

• There's no drag-and-drop in the iPhone API, so you can't reorder your todos in a given day. In Your Account you can choose between viewing todos alphabetically, or in whatever order you set them in a regular Web browser, but that's it. (You can also, of course, redate any todo to another day.)

• To minimize clutter, we've omitted search. I'll await user feedback to see if that's a big problem.

I'm know I'm going to use my iPhone more, now that my todo list is much easier to use.

Next steps:

• If you have an iPhone, just go to the site (on our standard or secure server) and the iPhone version will automatically kick in.

• If you haven't tried Gootodo here's a 30-day free trial.

• If you're wondering what this is about, read this summary or read my book, Bit Literacy.

Have a goo' time,
