is there a list application
 

I like to make lists
lists of restaurants I want to go to
lists of books I want to read
lists of groceries
lists of holidays...

lists which can be grouped, ticked as done, not done etc almsot in a database fashion.

On my palm I had an application called handyShopper which I could make my lists in.

Does anyone know of anything like this for the N900? I've seen pyrecipe which has an ingredients shopping list but thats not really general enough.

Thanks

Download Vim.

Yeah and if you are dissatisfied with the browser you should just use telnet to port 80 of the web server.

Re: is there a list application
 

Thanks. I was looking for something more than a text editor. Will keep looking - or maybe this is where I start to earn application building ;)

Re: is there a list application
 

Any reason why something like this or similar note apps won't work?

All you do is make a new note.. "Restaurants"... and put your list of restaurants in there. You can then use "strike out" to mark them as completed. I don't see what a special "list" app really makes any easier than .. well.. typing lists... except that a "list" app would organize it for you, which is what a notes app does.

Re: is there a list application
 

I use "remember the milk" its a website where I can make feature rich lists. I'm campaigning on their forums for them to create an app for maemo 5 so it's more finger friendly than using their website.

Re: is there a list application
 

I use Notecase (search using google). The version for os2008 (which is found on sourceforge) works on the N900. There is also a professional version for sale especially for the N900 and PCs. It is a great app with a lot of handy features.

Re: is there a list application
 

note taking doesn't work because I want to categorize and sort. Maybe tie in to position location ;)

Re: is there a list application
 

vim outliner may work for you if you are familiar with vim.

what i've been using that works ok is gmail tasks. its more than just a tasks list and more of an outliner or list maker.

i made a web shortcut on the desktop to https://mail.google.com/tasks/canvas and it works well for everything i need to keep track of. you will need connectivity to save any edits, but so far that hasn't been too much of a problem.

Re: is there a list application
 

There is a list application on the iphone my mate uses regularly for shopping etc. You can email them, and click on the items to cross them out... any developers out there able to make one. Donations will be made :)

Re: is there a list application
 

There is shopper.

@shopper: can you hear me? get out of your extras-devel hideout and enter extras-testing already! :)

Re: is there a list application
 

is there any "Database Manager" that might work...

Re: is there a list application
 

I have an application called 'quicknote' on my n900 which i use for exactly (well almost) the purpose you describe, think i got it from extras, will this do for now?

Re: is there a list application
 

This is what I have also ended up using. Nice tabs on left side to categorize things.
Almost, but not quite....

So if anyone is inspired to port the palm handylist app - much obliged.

Re: is there a list application
 

Are you looking for something like this (but for Maemo 5)?
http://axique.de/?f=Multilist

I've already taken over maintainership of quicknote (ported to Maemo 5, cleaned up code, cleaned up UI) from them and could possibly take a look at doing the same for multilist if there is no other equivalent for now.

Re: is there a list application
 

Conboy. It is even compatible w/ Tomboy and GNote. Shopper is a bit specialized for generic lists.

Re: is there a list application
 

I would LOVE to see that! :)

Re: is there a list application
 

How much need would there be for multilist if Shopper were ever moved to extras-testing?

Re: is there a list application
 

As I have got it, shopper doesn't support multipile lists (with subcategories inside them) which is a feature I very much would like. Correct me if I'm wrong...?

Re: is there a list application
 

I wouldn't know, I have a policy to not run things out of -devel except my own software that I'm trying to move to extras-testing

Re: is there a list application
 

In 2008 I made an app for N8x0
http://forums.internettablettalk.com...ad.php?t=25060

I've no n900 but it could work with maemo5 .....

Re: is there a list application
 

So in the running is mutlilist, stuff, and shopper

multilist would be a maemo 4 -> Maemo 5 port that I could do

Stuff would be a Maemo 4 to Maemo 5 port that I could possibly do

shopper would be the developer promoting it to extas-testing

I'm curious what people think of pros / cons to help me judge whether it is a better use of my time to work on this or on other apps.

Re: is there a list application
 

Installed shopper from diablo extras (didn't find it in extras-devel for fremantle), doesn't support multipile lists with subcategories :(

@bongo, nice app, haven't tried to install it yet but I might do that aswell. It seems to do a lot more than the basic stuff, maybe a bit too complicated for a basic list system, but nonetheless probably good for tasks requiring more powerful solutions ;)

Would love both apps!

Re: is there a list application
 

If i'm the one doing it, I won't have time for both apps. Besides bugs/enhancements filed against existing apps, I'm trying to get TOR into extras-testing and have several ideas for more apps. On top of that I want to eventually look at porting my existing apps to QT for the n900 successor.

Re: is there a list application
 

I stopped development on stuff because I never managed to install sqlite on os2008. But I can reopen this project ... thinking about Stuff2 written in python/qt or a browser version with a micro web server.

I've some ideas, but I'd rather develop in a team. So, who wants to join me?

Re: is there a list application
 

I fired up multilist on my n900 (I really should stop playing in the diablo repositories before I brick my device) and it seems pretty much okay, I think I could port it on my own hand, to save you some trouble :p No, really, it's up to you too choose what you will do with your time, but if you want, I could port multilist for maemo 5 ;)

Re: is there a list application
 

I don't have issues maintaining another app, I would just prefer the best one to be maintained rather than wasting my time with a couple.

I'll try to get to some of this tonight but tomorrow night is probably when I'll get a good block of time to hack on it.

Re: is there a list application
 

Are you going to work on which? I'm a bit confused right now...

I actually think these two programs are quite different (stuff for more complex information storage/databases, multilist for simple lists). I could probably fairly easy port multilist (all which apparently has to be done is to tweak a few things in the UI), but I would let someone with more skill (which I believe you have) to work on stuff. Bongo wanted to work with someone in a team, so you could join him. Or if you want multilist, I wont take it from you

Re: is there a list application
 

If you are going to play with multilist now, go ahead and set it up on github and I'll see how it works helping out on it. When I think of port, I don't mean just some quick touchs ups but cleaning up the code and UI like I did for quicknote.

EDIT: I'll go ahead and make contact with the original author about being added to the garage project. I already want to have my quicknote privileges elevated so I can switch it over to git from svn.

Re: is there a list application
 

I've emailed the original author requesting admin access on the Garage project. In the meantime I've setup a git repo
http://github.com/epage/multilist

Re: is there a list application
 

I am now an administrator on the multilist garage project. Tonight I'll try to get my github stuff moved over to the garage and a rough version pushed out to extras-devel

Re: is there a list application
 

Cool - thanks for jumping into this.

Re: is there a list application
 

Shameless plug: You could also try MæPad.

Re: is there a list application
 

I've got a decent number of UI and code improvements done. I'm now going to focus on testing on the device and seeing what comes up or could be improved.

Re: is there a list application
 

Multilist now runs on Maemo 5 with UI elements converted over. I've requested it to be added to bugs.maemo.org which resolves the need for a bugtracker to get promoted to Extras.

Known Issues:

• Settings Screen is small
• Unselected rows are an odd color
• Check box isn't very clear, seems like its losing the setting

EDIT 1: Since the UI would work so well with it, my secondary plans include rotation support
EDIT 2: Ok, manual rotation is in

Re: is there a list application
 

I've now posted an announcement for Multilist
