“a specific calendar for earnest”—-> “a specific calendar for events”

I’ve asked several times—why does this forum prevent us from editing our posts? Such a basic function. The list owner never responds to requests so I assume there’s no one there.

Thanks Paul. I hadn’t thought of doing that way round. I have made a note and will revisit it when I get time.

Hi Andy,

Didn’t really want to highjack a thread, but I do have a questions about HP as it has crossed my mind in a few conversations recently. Is there any way to handle subtasks in HP? Even if not formally, does the program allow some types of nested checklists or something similar? Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

—Ken

I have considered adding hierarchy to Hyper Plan (e.g. each card can contain more cards, like folders in an operating system). But this would be a big change that would effect everything else, and I haven’t made any definite decision on it yet.

As a workaround a card can contain a hyperlink to another Hyper Plan file.

You could also add a simple text checklist to the ‘notes’ field of a card. Or hyperlink to a checklist in another application or on the web.

I bought Hyper Plan today.

Spent much of yesterday moving my personal “To Do” list into Hyper Plan (from a spreadsheet).
I’m very impressed.
The visual interface made priorities clear to me in ways that a spreadsheet or conventional outliner never did.

So, this morning, I got out my credit card and paid full price to the developer.
I did not want to wait for a sale.

The interface moves little boxes around on a grid of rows and columns.
Totally customizable.
So easy (and fun, too) that it motivated me to carefully refine my plans.

In a similar vein, mind-maping software motivates me to think and analyze by moving little boxes around on the screen.
So now, I’m wondering:
What other varieties of planning/organizing software use an interface of moving boxes, like that?

Especially want to know about any spreadsheets that use a similar interface?
(I’m on a Mac.)

(Side note: The developer of Hyper Plan offers a similar interface in a program to plan banquet seating, but I have no need for that.)
