A few people here asked to be kept up to date with Hyper Plan improvements.
I put out Hyper Plan v2.3 yesterday for Windows and Mac. That is the 7th release since since March. Improvements since the v2.0 release now include:
-Performance improvements (here is Hyper Plan displaying over 40,000 cards: http://www.hyperplan.com/assets/images/44000_cards.png ! I don’t recommend it, but it is possible.)
-Store preferences in a .ini file. This is useful when you are using Hyper Plan on a portable device (e.g. a USB memory stick).
-Merge CSV files into existing plans.
-Charts pane filtering.
-Alt+Click to add cards.
-Access hyperlinks directly by right-clicking on a card.
-A Properties pane for easy access to properties.
-The option to color rows or cells by property value in the Table pane.
-A new Edit>Replace feature.
-Customizable toolbar.
-Add Property and Add Link buttons in the Add Card and Edit Cards windows.
-Export to SVG format for editing and displaying on web browsers.
-The ability to display some cards properties as bold or italic.
-More control over header font sizing in the Cards pane.
-Other minor usability improvements.
-Bug fixes.

Thank you, Andy. It’s helpful to get these kinds of summary updates from developers.

Hyper Plan continues to evolve nicely.
Would be helpful if (on OS X) it would sync tasks and events with Reminders and Calendar. And if there were an iOS version.
Just a couple tiny requests—LOL

Thanks! I am mostly concentrating on polishing off some of the rough edges at present. But I also have some ideas for significant new features.

How would you see that working? Would you drag a task from Calendar to create a card in Hyper Plan? or something else? Do you have an example of another application that does this well?
>And if there were an iOS version.
It is tough for indie developers to make any money in the app store:
-30% commission
-lack of discoverability
-downward pressure on prices
-no paid upgrades
-no free trial
...I could go on.
Its really not a very attractive proposition.

Feedback is always welcome.

You could drag an ics file into Hyper Plan. But I was thinking of it the other way - select a card and pop open a widget to create an event (something with a begin and end date/time) or a reminder (something with just one date and no time of day). Curio does this. The NotePlan app (mentioned in another thread) proposes doing that. IThoughtsX, MindManager, and the now-defunct NovaMind do that. OmniFocus to. The usual case is that the user creates a specific calendar for earnest and one for reminders, and the app syncs only to those calendars, and only events or tasks that were created by the app. Doing calendar sync from the other direction has too many challenges.
