I would use a third party that offers discourse hosting. It is too much of a time drain to keep updating the software myself.

FWIW, as HyperPlan and InfoQube are both about information management, offering 2 different solutions, mostly complementary, and in waiting to have your own forum, you can certainly piggy back on the IQ Community Forum.
If you are at all interested, it would take me a grand total of 2 minutes max to create a new forum board dedicated to HyperPlan, no cost of course !
Who knows, perhaps a synergy between the two programs and user groups can be created.
It’s no Discourse, but Drupal based and still a nice place to share !
HTH !

That is kind, thank you. However I would definitely need to ‘own’ my forum. And it seems that managed discourse hosting is available from only $20/mo: https://www.discoursehosting.com/
InfoQube looks interesting and quite different in approach to Hyper Plan. So maybe there is some possibility for cross promotion at some point. Email me in a few months if you are interested (very busy with v2 right now!).
I notice that you have a portable version that runs off a USB stick. A few Hyper Plan users have asked for that. Do you just look for a .ini file in the same folder as the executable and read preferences from that (otherwise store them in the registry)?
BTW I noticed a typo on the home page:
“MS Word and Excel users have read and use your IQ data”

Hi Andy,
- Always open to collaboration. It’s a tough world out there for developers, so we need all the help we can get !
- Re: Portable app: I’ve sent you a private email (from the HyperPlan contacts page) with detailed info on how to do it. HTH…
- Thanks, Fixed. I also updated some of the stuff there which was pretty outdated !

Would the good folk of this forum like to share how they are using Hyper Plan (outside bog standard project management)?
I like the idea of the program - it reminds me of the Outlook plugin TaskCracker, which I use daily - but I’m a bit stumped for inspiration on how I’d use the software. I’m not sure that my life is complicated enough to require it. But I can feel a CRIMP coming on and I think I’d like to be persuaded I’m wrong!
