I must add that you get extra credit for a really cool-cute blog post. Whoever wrote the opening paragraphs should get an A+, a pay raise, and lots of high-5’s from the OG team.

Looking forward to seeing the iPhone webserver that was present in the beta back in action. This will make it a complete app for me. I’ve already purchased but will get much more use with that server back on it!

Keep up the good work.

LOL @ Simon

Life was coasting along smoothly for me with OF, until I realized I’d but in Start Dates where I should have put Due Dates. Once I fixed that, suddenly my world turned PANIC RED. I’m working on deep breathing exercises….

I echo Simon’s concern for OmniFocus-induced shock - too much to do! But I’m comforted by OmniFocus keeping track of everything and helping me focus on the right thing, right now.

The price tag may deter casual users. Perhaps, like other Omni Apps, there could be a standard and Pro editions — one for managing household tasks and one for managing your whole life.

Um, anyone else having problems downloading. I pre-purchased, but now I can’t get the download to work. It downloads around 200k then thinks it’s done and stops. Of course this very small disk image is never going to run. (also happens on the mirror site). Anyone know of another location to download, or how to fix this vexing problem?

Neil, that sounds like the right way to enter sales proposals. The problem is that OmniFocus’ “context” view doesn’t display any actual contextual information, just the task. The old Ecco Pro application for Windows solved this problem by displaying greyed-out versions of the hierarchy the task comes from in views like this. (It called these “context parents”, but that wording is somewhat misleading because “context” has a special meaning to GTDers. Think of this information as “contextual parents.”)

Anyway, this sort of thing is missing from OmniFocus, which is another reason why context view (and iCal syncing as well) is hard to use in practice.

Congratulations on the launch of 1.0! This is a really fantastic product. I’ve been using it for about a month, and it’s become indispensable.

Now … wouldn’t it be cool if later versions have an iPhone mini-app (once Apple releases the SDK).

I started putting all the things i need to do into Omni Focus 1.0 last night - it’s a great piece of software but my life is so depressing looking at what I need to do! Can we have an ignorant bliss button please that puts everything into hiatus for a day or two?
