   Yes, you can make good money making desktop apps. I'm on a Mac, where there's a vibrant shareware community. Here are some of the apps I've bought: TextMate, SmartBackup, VMWare, Times, Delicious Library. Times has a GREAT interface that

   Hey rtf, I'm in the Bay Area too. There are _tons_ of meet ups, hackfests, and user group meetings you can go to. SupperHappyDevHouse is coming up this Saturday (Oct 3rd) and the Hackers & Founders meetup is Oct 16th. Usually the goal

   Parallels - virtualization means less machines, means less energy. PageSender - helping offices go paperless w/ digital faxing. I'm not sure about the other apps though.

   She had to drop out of MIT and move out of Boston because of jerks spitting in her face, who think the media gave them 100% of the story that she tried to do a "bomb hoax".

   Keep in mind, these are accounting tips for someone who's got a full time job and starting a business on the side. With a full time job, you get taxed on your normal paycheck and on April 15th you pay the gov't the taxes you owe from your s

   Hi blakeperdue, This sounds like a pretty useful feature. I'll put it on the back burner for now, but what I'm thinking of is a simple HTML page generated and published to a server for other people to view.

   Hi izak, This seems to be a bug that some other people are having also. I'm working on a fix for it and it'll be out for the next version.

    Once again, thanks for catching this major bug! I'll have the fix for the next release.

    Joshu, thanks for your feedback! I was concerned about the cold start as well, I'll think of a better way to do a first run. You can add a new item using cmd-N and then hit 'tab' to edit it. When you're done, hit 'enter' or 'tab' again to

    Sorry! I hope it wasn't a huge inconvenience for you, but thanks for the bug report. I'll get on this one immediately... It looks like for you the app wasn't substituting '#' in place of 'a', or were you deleting the '#' characters?

    Whoa, are you using a PPC or intel chip? And are you using 10.5? I'm sorry about that, hopefully it stopped after you quit the app.

    Thanks a-priori, I used to be a Things user myself - I think it's a great app =].

    Thanks bdotdub, I resized the screenshots so they should look better on Windows IE/Firefox now.

    Heh, it's called Visor, from the makers of Quicksilver: http://docs.blacktree.com/visor/visor You can hack Terminal.app so it becomes a background app too, like Quicksilver/ActionGear: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2001070

    Thanks, I'm hoping to give it more of a polish for the 1.0 release. It's still missing some features that I think are necessary. To delete a group, select it, and click on the "gear" icon on the bottom left. There's a menu item to "Delete

    Thanks jobeirne, I was hoping that people like the minimal approach. I use iCal too, so I think integration with iCal would be a really useful. I'm putting it on the back burner as a 1.1 or 1.2 feature.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I wanted to let you know that I'm working on (1) more keyboard shortcuts and (2) making items/groups editable after adding them. Both features should be in the 1.0 release. In fact, if you're a TextMate user, th

    I completely agree with you, I'm definitely going to make an iPhone version that syncs with the desktop app. It's very useful to have your tasks on you all the time, so you won't forget them.

    Thanks swombat, I do have a lot of competition =]. I think ActionGear stands out by being a background app, like Quicksilver, instead of being a full blown GTD implementation. I'll try to emphasize the difference more.

    Ah thanks, I'll probably fix the site in IE7 tomorrow. I googled about the blurry screenshots, turns out PNG looks bad in IE7. I'll try converting the images to JPEG..
