Symphony.

Anyone here use the Cultured Code todo list Things? I think it’s great, and it stores its data in xml. I have been using dropbox to sync the Things xml file across multiple installs. Dropbox doesnt have an API, but a competing app, Box.net does. I haven’t tried it but it looks like it has read & write access to the box.

I’m thinking one could create a symphony-based read/write to Things using the box.net api. Anyone interested in playing with this? That would be a pretty cool demo for Symphony’s flexibility.

So you can add To Do’s to things from a front-end interface, and also have a things you need to do on a website?

I can see the benefits in that.

That’s the idea. After taking a closer look at Things’ xml, there are a few elements that could b e a little tricky to reverse-engineer without help from CC, namely the ‘identifier’, as well as possibly the TODO id.

But that would just be write, you could (with either dropbox or box.net) read it and use it as a datasource.

Its smart to use box.net as a system for API-less apps.
So the iphone app is not sufficient for you, and you use more then 1 computer? I would already be OK with publishing tasks (and deliciouslibrary, and itunes , lastfm,…) to my website for fun, using the event method

This has been discussed before, as have cool external xml dat uses. Why oh why not use [categories] to structure topics. Like [lifestream] or something.
