With Voodo 3.1 comes my coolest design after the original Tag system – Subtasks.

Together with Task Copy, Subtasks are perfect for shopping lists that you can easily reuse.

Google Calendar users will be happy to find that tasks now can be marked Done and assigned Priority in Voodo calendar, using very simple and intuitive syntax.

大事化小

Voodo 3.1 来了,带着自标签以来我最得意的设计 – 子事务。

配合事务复制,子事务十分适合用作易于复用的购物单。

还有两件事想必会让 Google 日历用户高兴:你可以在 Voodo 日历中用十分简单直观的语法将事务标记为「已完成」,还能指定优先级。

Results:
The total sale of Voodo (both iPhone and iPad version) in Japan App Store during March and April amounts to $406.057 (33,250 Japanese Yen):

Here is my donation receipt:

Japan Tsumani Donation

Not long after the release of Japanese version of Voodo, a terrible earthquake and tsumani hit Japan. It’s so sad.

People are in desperate need of love there. This is what I can do, though not much:

All proceeds of Voodo (both iPhone and iPad version) from Japan App Store in March and April go to Emergency Relief by Red Cross.

For Japanese iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad owners who need a good todo/GTD app, it’s the best time to get Voodo – you get Voodo, they get Love, I get Voodoers with Love.

One New Platform, Many More Languages

Finally, Voodo for iPad has come to the App Store, along with a new version of Voodo for iPhone (3.0.9).

For celebration, both versions are on Sale for $2.99, only for a week.

What’s New:

  1. Optimized sync performance – Voodo is never frozen even if you are syncing hundreds of tasks.
  2. Task list sorted by distance from current location in Nearby Mode.
  3. Sort tasks by priority before sorting by title, so that the important tasks come first among all the timeless tasks.
  4. Set time to today/now for un-due tasks on checking, so that Done tasks serve you better as your daily log.
  5. Orientation Lock.
  6. Localization in Japanese, German, Italian, Swedish and Hebrew.

The process is no easy, considering so many translators involved and twice rejections by Apple.

But the end result is worth all the while. With Voodo for iPad, it is the first time I dare say Voodo is a simple, powerful, and beautiful todo app. In principle, simple is beautiful; but in reality, an app is not necessarily beautiful just because it is simple. I learned it only after I did it.

Fortunately, I did not do it alone. I have a talented graphic designer for the classy icons. Most importantly, I have the most awesome Voodoers:

  • 쭈도사 – Korean
  • キョウ ラン • 井上 直樹 – Japanese
  • Ganzhou Wang – German
  • Egon D’Argento – Italian
  • Språk författare – Swedish
  • עידן נוימן – Hebrew

Thank you. You helped extend Voodo onto a new platform, taught Voodo so many more languages, and, made me many more friends.

PS: There are still quite some languages are waiting for translators. Please join us if you happen to speak one of them. I believe the cooperation will be very happy, just like those between all above translators and me.

一个新平台,一些新语言

Voodo for iPad 总算登陆 App Store 了,同时还有 Voodo for iPhone 3.0.9。

为了庆祝,双版都以 $2.99 的价格特卖一周。

更新:

  1. 优化同步 — 即便在同步几百项事务时 Voodo 也能正常响应你的操作。
  2. 附近事务列表,按照到当前位置的距离排序。
  3. 事务在按标题排序前,先按优先级排序。如此,在所有随时事务中要事先行。
  4. 在完成未到期事务时将其时间设置为今天/现在。如此,“已完成”事务能成为你更好的工作日志。
  5. 竖排锁定。
  6. 本地化:日语、德语、意大利语、瑞典语、希伯来语。

整个过程相当曲折,要跟这么多人沟通协作,提交后还被 Apple 据了两次。

好在看到结果时,值。Voodo for iPad 让我第一次敢不脸红的说 Voodo 是一款简洁强大漂亮的 todo 软件。有人说,简单即美丽;但事实上,一款软件不会仅仅因为简单就一定美丽。这也是这次做过后我才明白的。

幸运的是,我不是一个人在做。我有一个很有才的 graphic designer 帮我画图标。更重要的是,我有一群 nb 的 Voodoer:

  • 쭈도사 — 韩语
  • キョウ ラン • 井上 直樹 — 日语
  • Ganzhou Wang — 德语
  • Egon D’Argento — 意大利语
  • Språk författare — 瑞典语
  • עידן נוימן — 希伯来语

谢谢你们。是你们让 Voodo 走上新的平台,让 Voodo 学会如此多新的语言,让我结交了更多朋友。

PS:仍有不少语言有待翻译,如果你恰好懂其中一种的话,欢迎加入。我们的合作都是相当愉快的。
