TaskPaper priorities tip from Erik Reed...

  1. I prioritize with tags like @1 @2 or @3
    Nice and fast to type.
  2. I search like:
    Prioritized: matches “.*@[0-9].*” and not @done +d
    P3+: matches “.*@[0-3].*” and not @done +d
    P2+: (@2 or @1 or @0) and not @done +d
    P1+: (@1 or @0) and not @done +d
  3. Using the current beta version I have these searches defined:
     ?? P1+ ?? (@1 or @0) and not @done +d
     ?? P2+ ?? (@2 or @1 or @0) and not @done +d
     ?? P3+ ?? matches “.*@[0-3].*” and not @done +d
     ?? Prioritized ?? matches “.*@[0-9].*” and not @done +d
  4. Using the current beta version I have these keys defined in System Preferences:
    TaskPaper.app
    P1+ ⌘1
    P2+ ⌘2
    P3+ ⌘3
    Prioritized ⇧⌘1

Here’s a preview screenshot of the next version of WriteRoom.iPhone. My favorite new feature is that it finally has a nice “distraction free” mode, just text with no controls.

Working version of Letters finally makes it into the app store.

Oops

Turns out the “Letters” doesn’t work on many “all?” iPhones and iPod touches. The problem is that user input taps don’t seem to be accepted. So your screen will just show a big ‘A’ ever increasing in size. You are supposed to be able to tap it to make it disappear, and then ‘B’ will get bigger. But that’s not working for many people.

My iPod Touch is sick at the moment, so I was only able to test in the simulator, where it works great of course! Anyway I’m sorry for the trouble, I’ll try to submit a fix next week.

I am curios if “Letters” works on any phones. Please let me know if you have a phone/touch where the letters tap interaction does work.

Thanks.

"Letters" now in iTunes app store.

For toddlers with idle fingers. Letters introduces the ABC’s through a dynamic tile board that’s even fun for adults. Unlike other iPhone learning apps, Letters focuses on a fun interactive experience instead of quizzes and tests.
