“Inspired by on Lotus Agenda.” Even with a character-mode interface! For *nix. I don’t think that anybody will be too interested, but you might at least want to see the screenshot.

Here is another one “inspired” by Agenda. It seems to me to follow Agenda’s surface design too closely. And I cannot get the categories to work. But I may be obtuse or didn’t play with it long enough (because I lost interest too quickly).

It’s called orGenta.

Greetings,
If you’re interested in whiz-bang stuff, you’ll probably want to look elsewhere, but if you actually want to get work done then you may or may not be interested in Beeswax at this time. I think you will be interested as it becomes fully implemented (maybe by v0.4.0?).

Part of my reason for writing Beeswax is that existing solutions are overly complex and are overly focused on aesthetics rather than on simply getting things done. Also, existing solutions (especially web-based solutions) generally require too much inefficient movement of hands between keyboard and mouse.

Having said that, I’m keeping the functionality separated from the UI as much as possible, so a web-based interface is entirely possible (and I may just write one!).

Cheers! -RPM
