Also I should point out that Hyper Plan does use Windows file locking when the plan is stored in a Windows network share. So 2 people can’t change it at the same time. It is more crude than full server based concurrency, but it does work.

I have a honest and serious (but critical) question about HyperPlan: Why is it so ugly? This seems to be a major difference to other todo/planning tools—especially those that are popular on OS X. It looks like the calculator program I had to write in Visual Basic 5 in high school. You are clearly capable of doing the back-end work—most recently implementing graph data structures and algorithms for card relationships. But I think the front-end is really lagging behind. Maybe just switching the GUI framework (preferably native widgets) would help a lot? I’m sorry to say it but Hyper Plan looks like enterprise software. Some people might disagree and say it’s all about function. But then we would all be using lisp-machines…

I disagree, it’s reasonably priced even for the great unwashed. Also that so called problem of mass sales support, would self finance, it is a nice problem to have, i.e. Success.

BTW on HP’s looks, unlike many other Qt or GTK+ implementations I use, it is sharp and crisp and not blurred, a well known problem half of them have even on the latest high-end laptops. Secondly HP has one of the most elegant designs and most aesthetically pleasing looks I’ve seen on any productivity tool.

From the UI elements design, to their layout, minimal versus complex layout, the cards, various modes views, etc. On this I’m hard to please, but it’s outstandingly good looking, super model class.

Hadn’t looked at HP’s website for over a year, just usually glance at updates’ changelogs launched by it. Jan has a point, going by the pics & video there. It is dated and doesn’t do HP potential looks justice. HP is one of 3 card(ish) apps I use, actually use others more, horses for courses. Below is a couple of my stored views, of 4, in the same HP file of mine, smallest one of the lot. Data blacked out, but you get the idea:

Hi Pierre,

My apologies for not responding to your message. I was trying to wrap up a big project before year end, and had little time for many things I normally tend to, like responding to email messages. I obviously did receive your message and assumed that it was a reminder about the Kanban feature in IQ. I am hoping to have a little bit of free time over the holidays that will allow me to dig deeper into IQ. As always, I appreciate your checking in.

Thanks,

—Ken
