Omni Group roadmap 2018

Ken Case lewat Omni Group blog memaparkan roadmap mereka di tahun 2018. Bagi kamu yang belum kamu, Omni Group merupakan grup developer sejumlah aplikasi produktivitas. Dari beberapa rencana yang dipaparkan, saya sangat tertarik untuk mengikuti perkembangan OmniFocus ke depannya. Ada beberapa perubahan serta tambahan layanan yang direncanakan oleh Omni Group. Pertama adalah mengganti Contexts di OmniFocus menjadi Tag:

This system of contexts works well enough, but OmniFocus was never intended to be limited to a GTD audience—and as our customer base has grown over the years we’ve seen a lot of confusion over just what these “contexts” are and how people ought to make use of them. The term that makes more intuitive sense to most people is tags: you can tag an item with a tag—or multiple tags—and later you can look at that tag to see all the items assigned to it.

Selanjutnya OmniFocus juga akan memiliki fitur penjadwalan yang lebih fleksibel, otomasi yang lebih canggih, fitur kolaborasi dan satu yang sudah ditunggu sejak lama yaitu akses OmniFocus dari laman web. Dikutip dari tulisan Ken Case di blog Omni Group:

For all our customers in that situation, I have good news to share: we’re building OmniFocus for the Web. It will be greatly simplified from the OmniFocus you know: it won’t have custom perspectives or notifications or maps. It won’t have Review. It won’t let you set up new repeating tasks (though it will correctly handle repeating tasks that are already set up). Its capabilities will be a lot more like what we shipped in our very first iPhone app: you’ll be able to see the lists of tasks in your Inbox, Projects, and Tags, with their associated notes and due dates. You’ll be able to edit basic information about those tasks (checking them off, assigning a due date, changing a title or note) and of course you’ll be able to add new tasks.

Salah satu faktor yang membuat saya tidak lagi menggunakan OmniFocus dan Things adalah sulitnya melihat daftar tugas ketika menggunakan PC di kantor. Begitu pula dengan menambahkan daftar tugas yang mau dikerjakan. Kemudahan mengakses OmniFocus lewat website akan sangat membantu meski hanya sekedar untuk melihat dan menambahkan catatan daftar tugas.
