I read this hoping it would be another really cool use of "dot" to make things easier to visualise, and hence easier to prioritize, and hence easier to do, thus making it useful, and a cool pun.
But it's just a mis-spelling.
Things I use "dot" for include:
- Diagramming links between Paul Graham essays. When I told him about it he suggested I submit it here to HN. That's how I first arrived: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=397408 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=397408
- My site map. It's a real map, not just a list of pages
- Scheduling. Dependent tasks point to each other, and are set to the same level as the week they're due.
- Visualizing data structures. I've invented a new one and want to see how it evolves through time.
- System connectivity diagrams and data flow.
There are more, but that's enough. Dot and neato are incredibly useful tools.
More useful than yet another "Do It Now" page.
