Yeah. I started writing it because I realise I could wait for ever for someone else to build me the thing I want and make it work the way I want it to work.

So I'm looking at python + kivy and a database to build a mobile/desktop application and then a browser interface.

If anyone has a thing they've always wanted to be able to do in a personal organiser let me know. Could be a while in production of course because I find it so hard to organise stuff. And I'm not exactly good at this sort of thing. But what the heck, give it crack and see what, if anything, flies.

Let me try;-) Maybe you write it. I do not have the time - partially
thanks to the lack of the personal organizer;-)

BTW: I spend a morning walking (without thinking of documenting,
photographing etc.) and writing mail on paper. It really feels healthier
than all of the electronic gadgets which are stealing hours craving for
attention.

I am more and more in favour of "single purpose machines." If I want a
phone I use a phone. If I want to read I read a book.

If I want to work or doing more complicated things I use a computer.

The best organizer seems to be notebook. A6 so it fits in my trousers.
What's missing is a "grep" and a "sort". And a one click action on my
mailreader, browser etc. to "send" it to the notebook.

So maybe you can build this one for me;-)

But in absence of it, what about a web app containing this?

If you put it in the cloud you have it everywhere as long as you have a
computer.

So, what's needed?

1. A database
2. An easy way to insert events
3. A URL for every reference
4. A tagging system
5. A search engine
6. A slick presentation

A lot of bits and pieces exists. Maybe it just needs some assembly work to
get it done. Or it already exists?

BTW: This all screams for a standardized object-oriented base system and
GUI so you can add an "organizer dialogue", "open" and 'search" action to
every object you want to reference..

I am definitely not up to scratch in all areas so I wonder what people can
contribute in a "brain storming" session.

Peter
