First of all i’d like to say that i’m loving Solve360. I have tried dozen other solutions an this one is the best by far (although a little expensive for my 3rd world small office budget). It’s way faster than even the local run software and this “every information right in your face in one place only” approach is perfect. The more common approach of tabs for each information type is counterproductive. I’ve spent days forgetting to go to the “tasks” tab in other tools i’ve tried. That being said, it is a little simplistic functionality-wise. It’s not a bad thing per-se, but i miss some stuff. Here is my short personal wish-list for Solve360. I know you don’t like to give deadlines for implementing new functions, but I would love to know witch ones of these are on your own list (if any).
Here it goes:
1- Create tasks and events that are independent from projects (this, along with number 2 would eliminate the AWFUL whiteboard hanging on the wall)
2- A Dashboard or a “Start Page” that include this general tasks assigned to users or groups (each one would see their own). It would be nice to put every computer on the office to start the browser on a solve page where they would find tasks end events assigned to them by me (the"boss”) even if they have no relation to specific projects (see item 1)
3- Real sync between tasks and events with google system (no ical publishing, but real two-way syncing). Also, right now, tasks with no due date are showing as full day events on google calendar, with creates a total mess.
4- Clicking on a photo in a gallery could show the photo instead of downloading it (Lightbox style) with a download link beneath for the high-res ones. Sure it would mean resize the bigger ones in the server for showing on the browser screen.
5- PDF viewer (gmail style). A get a lot of PDF attachments in my projects. It’s a little annoying having to download them to see. Not a main issue though.
6- Hiding past projects (already asked an answered in another tread)
7- Better mail integration with gmail. (I believe it’s on the works, right?) I use Google Apps on my domain, so this would be a life changer. I think the current email solution is weak.
8- Being able to assign full task lists to someone, instead of only individual tasks.
9- This would be nice: Chat windows when two or more people have the same project blog opened. Just like it happens on Google Docs. I have just though of that, not something i missed while using, but wouldn’t it be great???
PS: I’m obviously not a native english speaker, so forgive me for any mistake or weird sentences. I hope I have managed to make myself clear.
Thanks,
Daniel Madsen
