Like the explanations so far 👍 but couldn't try it out until now - so here is my basic question: Do the app use the iOS reminders db? In other words: Can i use Siri to set reminders in ProudApp?

@llabball Hi Indigo, right now Proud doesn't support such feature yet but we're considering it in the future updates. Probably somewhere around 1.2 or 1.3.

@piotrszwach Thx for replying. Another feature which you could think about is to support the x-callback-url protocol. This makes GoodTask and Fantastical so useful for me.

@llabball Could you exactly explain why is it so useful? If I understand this more deeply I might increase it's priority on the roadmap.

@piotrszwach Sure. I use apps like Workflow, Launch, Pythonista, Drafts and Editorial to manage reminders and calendars. These apps fill the gap between the reminders db and other apps or remote sources (including some custom systems). The reminders db is then the central source of data for other task apps which have all their strength in different topics like GTD. The reminders db is also the target of Siri and iCloud Sync. Imagine my current storage strategy as the same as you can access files from every application on desktop computers. I use the x-callback-url protocol not only to create e.g. new reminders - mostly the generated text includes "next-action" links. So, when i want to solve a task i have already direct links to particular apps to which i have to switch to. The nice bonus think is that i can organize inter-app workflows that ending in the preferred task-app to change the status to "done" finally. Hmm, long answer - hope that helps and makes sense to you.

@llabball Hi Ingo, I've just found this website: http://x-callback-url.com/ It seems to describe the whole process. It doesn't seem like a lot of work to do and I can assure you we will add that to Proud as it makes a lot of sense, around version 1.2 (a few weeks). We're preparing for a minor 1.0.1 update and 1.1. major update in the next few days and weeks so that will need to wait a bit. Maybe we will add the initial support faster but full support - later on.

I can see how much effort has gone into this and it looks very well thought out and highly refined. Would like to hear more about why you built it, what didn't you get out of existing productivity products etc and how you managed to get 1000 beta users on board 😄. A wellpolished and high quality product, I am looking forward to putting it through its paces. Good luck.

@leewynne Hi Lee, thanks for posting the comment. Let's go through the story real quick. Back in 2013 I attended many productivity courses and read a lot about this topic. I downloaded hundreds of todo apps (yes there were already hundreds back then) in the search for something that will be able to get the spirit of everything I learnt. Unsurprisingly, I didn't find anything that suited my needs. I decided to sit and create the app's UI and look. I made a few versions and passed them to the entrepreneurs whom I interviewed. After a few interviews, I realized that they are not my target group. They demanded totally different features, the ones that can be found in apps like Asana or Trello. I decided not to get discouraged and showed the app to my colleagues. Their response was fantastic. I decided to retarget the audience and started to develop the app for the normal people. After a year, my friend Kyle told me to open the app for beta testing. Thanks to Angelique, my girlfriend, we gathered almost 900 beta testers when I told her to stop acquiring new users. We were getting hundreds of feedbacks to respond and were running out of places. When TestFlight increased their limit to 2000, we passed smoothly the 1000 beta testers milestone. This was the time when we knew we want to release the app officially. Without the support of such big community, the app would be totally different: not as open and flexible. Right now you can customize almost every feature just for your own needs :).

@leewynne Lee, initially we planned Apple only but personally I'm pretty disappointed by their policies and attention to details during the last few months. They started to focus on lots of devices instead of doing a few, really well. There were some Android developers contacting me interested in porting the app to Android, but I didn't receive any offer that was appealing to me yet.

@piotrszwach - any plans to add a desktop version? I might be old school, but I sit in front of an iMac 90% of the day - yes I have an iPhone, but I would rather have the app on both!

@planetmitch Hi PlanetMitch! You are totally not old-school. I understand you totally as I use my mac 90% of my day too! Prior to working on Mac version, we need to send a few updates to the iOS version to ensure everything works as expected. Then we will focus our work on finishing the Mac version which is 70% done I must say. I've just opened the Proud for Mac beta testing subscription on our website. You can find it here: http://useproud.com/#mac-betates...

@mjmcclain Thank you Michael! I really saw a big value in having everything in one place. I agree that it's better to have separate apps to watch a movie, talk to people and buy stuff. But I strongly believe that, things to do, habits, reminders, timers, work, productivity should be in one place, as this is a totally different part of our life and needs one tool to tangle it all together. The infinite sub-lists is a huge thing too. I was having problems finding app that allows you to do that on the mobile while preserving everything you see in Proud. About the font sizes: we might add this feature in next updates. Thanks for pointing that out! We thought about Dynamic Font that is built into iOS. Would that be sufficient for your own needs?

@piotrszwach I can think of nothing outside of, dynamic font. I like to control individual app's font sizes. That's just my preference.

@mjmcclain Okay, I will write this for the roadmap for 1.2 update. As we think of a major 1.1 release to do something a bit crazy: We'd like to engage our community to record a congratulations with a normal microphone: "you're great", "wow", "superb!" and hear them every time you complete a task. What do you think about such idea? I.e. your own voice encouraging other people using our app?

Almost 1000 beta users, 100 iterations, and we are ready to announce our productivity tool: Proud. It helps you in many ways: breaking tasks down to achieve even the biggest goals, timers based on pomodorro technique, de-stress function which helps you to calm down in the stressful moments of your life and many, many more. I hope you will like it! Let us know what you think! New Year is a new opportunity to step up, step forth and grow! Start 2016 with Proud!
