I found working on the todo list myself very easy, however I wanted to involve another person in the 'send me a tasklist' list and couldn't.
I tried:
- Add a new task with a @help at the end, CC them in along with the @planleaf.com email
- Add a new task with a @help@example.com at the end, CC @planleaf.com
Both didn't work and I received no email from Planleaf to say that it couldn't be parsed.
Creating a new list, CC tasks@planleaf.com and help@example.com did work.
Is adding a new assignee after the list has been created supported?
That's my criticism with managing tasks through email: input validation and feedback isn't seamless. In an app UI this is instant. From what I've seen Planleaf doesn't give me feedback if I type something incorrectly.
As email is much more freeform than a form that's a barrier to being simple and intuitive. Not an insurmountable one, but I think you need to do a little more hand holding.
That said, it's a great idea with promising execution and something I've mulled over building for our marketplace.
- ramoq 12y agoHi drsim, our current version doesn't have support adding people midway through a list. However, our version in dev does along additional help/tutorials. This is our MVP of Planleaf I think we totally need to add more feedback for the user input as best as we can. We're even toying with adding a web-version of our product for power users. So web -> email will be very seamless. Really appreciate the feecback, ping me at omar at planleaf.com if you have any other suggestions/concerns. I'm all ears :)
- drsim 12y agoIt looks like a great MVP Omar, I'll be keeping an eye out for updates! Many of our customers are non-technical so a feedback loop with clear messaging is essential for us.
