About our relations with Cultured Code
Thursday, 11 September 2008
At the beginning of our activity we wrote a letter to Cultured Code to show that we had done thn.gs and they didn’t take us serious. It is to be regretted that they hadn’t expressed their position earlier. We have done too much work to close our project now. Now we are working hard on redesign and thn.gs rebranding and it will be done in several days. Nevertheless, we don’t want to make such amazing team as Cultured Code to become our adversary. IMHO our ways of development are very different, thn.gs is a web application and we will develop it accordingly. Such GTD WEB-application as thn.gs is needed a lot and we hope that you will like it after redesign too.
There are several reasons why our teamwork with CC is impossible:
- it is very technically difficult to integrate these applications;
- another reason is that CCs behavior is very unpredictable as we ascertained;
- and the most important for us is that we want to develop our own application.
We will implement a lot of new important features soon (import/export, e-mail notifications, data search, etc.).
You can run thn.gs using all the up-to-date browsers in which actual web standards are supported (Firefox 3, Opera, Safari 3, Chrome). Internet Explorer 8.0 will come soon and according to the current information it will be the high quality browser and I hope you will be able to run thn.gs using it too. We haven’t got enough recourses to support old browsers and we think that it isn’t necessary. We don’t see any reason to spend our time for implementing such a thing. Everyone has ability to update the browser.

Glad to hear that you’re taking these things seriously, and obviously want to keep thn.gs running. It’s without a doubt one of the best web applications I’ve ever seen, and it’d be a real shame to see it disappear.

Thank you for your support! We will try our best to make thn.gs the best GTD application.

I am dissatisfied Things user .. especially after getting an Android phone and a Win 7 desktop.
It is a pity that CC does not yet care about a web app. I applaud your efforts, but may I suggest that you provide a API?
That would make it easy for others write mobiles apps .. like one for Android.

We are interested in providing everyone with Somethings’ API too. We are going to do this after the new version will be released.
