Neat Idea, some suggestions #2

This is a really cool idea for building lists of things to do. Here are some thoughts that I had:

  1. Instead of running a script when you want to see the report, make it run on demand when a file is saved (for that specific file). Something like LiveReload
  2. I think most developers already have the issue of having too many places with lists of things to do. This is just one more! It would be great for it to be dynamic enough to point to different places. Examples: GitHub issues, Pivotal Tracker, OmniFocus, Things, etc... (by taking advantage of running the processing on demand)
  3. This is really cool man!

I think any tool that lets a dev stay in the code instead of having to open up another tool to log issues is great. Even better, this would be a tool worth paying for if you can integrate it with established tools that teams already use to get stuff done. I have a lot of stuff going on in the next couple of weeks, but after that I'm definitely interested in helping to get it there if you're interested.

Cheers!

Heya :)

I agree with your points, I haven't seen LiveReload I'll check that out, but I think getting on demand for github with something like http://help.github.com/post-receive-hooks/ would work a lot better than running it as a script.

I'll start checking out the options, I also use assembla at work so I'll probably get that working pretty soon.

Thanks!

Or actually, even better. Why don't you just use LiveReload to pre-process the files that are being saved? That would let you stay away from writing OS-specific code for monitoring the filesystem, and it will pretty much give you all the flexibility you need to actually do things with the file in realtime.

You can do all sorts of custom things with it: http://f.fhl.gd/Cuaf

All that's left to do is actually post these things somewhere useful. That's the easy part ;)

I'm on Ubuntu :(. Looks like an awesome project though, I might try to contribute - this project I'm working on at work is all javascript and CSS, would basically allow me to never have to redeploy .

This is interesting, but it would be more useful if it were integrated with GitHub issues. BANG! could be a Git hook.

Hey, great idea, I really like the simplicity. It inspired me to write something similar with just nodejs and grep: https://github.com/diffsky/LOTS
