I've posted the initial version of the Backpack (http://
www.backpackit.com) bundle on my blog. It's got the following
commands with dialogs:
Create Reminder
Quick Destroy Reminder
Quick Edit Reminder
Destroy Multiple Reminders
List Reminders by Date
Add as Note
View/Edit Notes
Change Backpack Account
It has rough Keychain access support that works pretty well. It is,
at this point, a demonstration of what we could do. It could be
integrated in a lot of ways with a few other bundles. Right now I'm
using it to quickly post reminders that will be sent to my cell
phone, and client notes from documents that I'm working on. I can
log in and work through a tree view of all my notes on all my pages
and even edit them from the same interface. This bundle works great
with the free version of Backpack.
There are a couple of commands I left out. Some of the text based
commands have the possibility of sending malformed dates which will
break your Backpack page. 3 Backpack accounts later, I think I've
got the bugs worked out, but I'm not ready to risk anyone else's
pages yet. Also, a couple of gem-dependent commands... like one that
uses Chronic (human readable dates - i.e. Next Tuesday at 5pm) for
reminder entry.
If you try this out, please let me know if you run into bugs and
problems. I have not had a chance to test this on anything other
than my G5 and my PPC laptop.
Thanks,
Brett
