javascript kicks ass

This has to be one of the coolest applications I've ever seen. If you've got Firefox, you really have to check this out. Seriously.

Nice app however, as is often the case with javascript apps, the back button does not work!

Maybe it would be an not so bad innovation if firefox could save in the history every time javascript changes the DOM of the page this way the back button could work with such applications!

Maybe 2.1 :-)

[...] For a few seconds after the page finished loading, I was thinking 'is the cool application on the page broken?' I was expecting something with more eye candy (no offense ;)

Cross posting a bit between roachfiend.com and here, I think this would make an incredible firefox extension if the database backbone could be kept in a local file (xml file?), this way those of us that travel with firefox (portable firefox) could keep a schedualing system on had easily. Ties to system time or ntp with popups like those of Gmail Notifier could warn us when events are aproaching, and a simple calander could popup from the bottom right for easy navigation of scheduals by day, or a breif overview of the month. The sidebar could be further used to speed navigation.

If there was a way to export/import from pda's/Outlook/sunbird/evolution it would make even cooler.

My BACK BUTTON! (Oops…) :-(

One answer to the back button: for daily users who keep this thing open all day (like me)... just pop open your local Next Action file in a brand new tab every morning. The result is that your Back and Forward commands will remain disabled.

One day, I will fix the Back button thing, but the way I use it myself in a separate tab made this less irritating.

The WHATWG is working to define an interface that allows you to make the back and forward buttons work corectly without the hacks used today to achieve this.
