Lesson Learned

In my previous post…I seemed to have been pretty confident that Get ‘er Done was pretty much complete. That was the case, until I got someone else to test out the app and get their suggestions. I found that my program was lacking in a lot of areas. But those areas have been fixed.

Here are the changes:

• Look and Feel – The boxes which represent the tasks have been changed and no longer have the pretty gradient. I made it so the default size of the box is only enough for the check box, the description, the project, a expand button and the delete button. When you click the expand button, it reveals the rest of the needed information such as due date, notes, etc.
• Next Action/Waiting For – In the tree view I have a section called Views with Next Action and Waiting For. These now will be used to filter your tasks instead of for organization. Someday/Maybe(Yes I fixed the spelling) will still be used for organization.
• An icon! Yes I created an icon so no more Visual Studio Project icons.

So I got a lot done today, and hoping to release the Get ‘er Done to the public sometime next week.

Got a Lot Done

I was able to practically finished Get ‘er Done today. I add the following features:

• Rename and Delete projects
• Print out a list of tasks
• No Due Dates

These all were the last major features I wanted to implement before release. The realease is getting close! And by no means does this mean that I have finished the program, there are a few other features I want to implement before I consider the program done.

I leave you with a screenshot

More Drag and Drop

I implemented a bit more Drag and Drop functionality today. What I have next is come up with a way for the user to manage the projects. Getting closer to release! Stay tuned!

Welcome

Welcome to Blue Aspect Software. This site is dedicated to postings about our software as well as the development of our software. This site is the main place we will post updates about the status of our software, as well as decisions and the reasons behind those decisions.

Our current project is called Get ‘er Done, which is a task manager for Windows which is based off of David Allen’s Getting Things Done book. Currently the software is just about ready for beta release, we still have a few important features to implement before release. Here is the current set of features:

• SQLite used for database
• No installer
• Uses system colors, which depend on the colors of the user’s theme.

If all goes well, the beta release should be here soon.
