December! It's coming in December!

ethomaz replied on November 02, 2009 16:31 to the question ""Random Web Browsing" activity (not counting work done in browser)" in Slife Labs:

Slife doesn't have a catch-all feature for activities, if they don't fall in any other activity - it's a cool idea, I wonder how much complexity would be introduced to the product with something like this. Obviously we would like to keep things as simple as possible.

What I would do is use activity keywords for this. Maybe come up with a set of words that can be associated with your work browsing activity. That way you would be able to track your work activities exactly and then subtract that from the total time spent in browsers for everything else. Not ideal, I know. We have some work to do :-)

We are shooting for early December. Feel free to ping me at ethomaz at slifelabs and I can send you an early version when it's ready, if you would like to check it out.

We are close to having this done. It's going to be in the next release.

Can you write to us at support at slife labs? I would like to get your username and check if everything is ok with your account. Thanks!

ethomaz replied on September 28, 2009 04:42 to the question "Why is my session runned in an unsecure way? Why not use SSL?" in Slife Labs:

This is a great question. I completely agree that it should be running with SSL and we are planning to add support for secure login/navigation soon.

Right now you have to be online, but we are looking at an offline mode for the future.

A comment on the idea "Slife & iPhone?" in Slife Labs:

I mentioned some of the iPhone limitations in another post. Unfortunately one can run only one app at a time on the iPhone, so it's not possible for Slife to operate on the phone like it does on the desktop. Whenever it becomes possible, we'll be there! – ethomaz, on September 09, 2009 01:52

Check if you see any difference now. media="all"

ethomaz replied on August 28, 2009 01:24 to the problem "You charge, I don't know? What the hell?" in Slife Labs:

Thank you, I think you bring up some great points and we are always striving to improve our product and the way we communicate with our customers.

We do have the blog and Twitter and we do send emails out occasionally. Looks like you seem to indicate that you would like us to communicate even more and more clearly, which is a fair and good point. We will work hard towards achieving that.

Regarding the point of supporting other OSes, there are lots of issues associated with supporting multiple operating systems, especially with regard to testing. We would love to support every OS in every configuration but we don't have the resources to do so.

Please contact us at support (at) slifelabs (dot) com and we can talk more specifically about how you would like us to handle your account.

Yes! – ethomaz, on August 28, 2009 01:13

Thanks - We would like to be able to generate reports soon. This is definitely a feature that people seem to need.

ethomaz replied on August 28, 2009 01:00 to the question "Some suggestions after using for a few weeks" in Slife Labs:

Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate. In fact, I am adding some of these to our feature request list right away.

1. I agree

2. We are working on this, stay tuned!

3. Also something we would like to add soon.

4. Good stuff.

5. We are working on this.

6. Good suggestions.

7. The interface used to be more Ajaxy. We plan to improve the flow in the not too distant future.

Hi there,

Sorry about the confusion, and let me try to address your points/concerns:

1. Since we released Slife Web, we've been offering a 30-day free trial. At the end of the initial 30 days, we start charging your account. We are planning to make modifications to the registration workflow so that your account is simply locked after 30 days. It will eliminate these kinds of issues. Sorry if you were not expecting the charge - we can refund it - we try to make it clear that you have 30 days to test out the service.

2. We introduced 3 plans not too long ago, Basic (free), Plus ($5) and Premium ($10). When you signed up, there was only one $5 plan. For users like you, we brought you to the Premium plan, but at the price point you agreed to before.

3. You can cancel you account by clicking on the "Account" button and then following the steps there. No need to recreate new accounts if you are gone for a long period of time. We are planning support for data export, so that you can get your data out before you delete your account.

4. I don't know why there are no activities logged. If you've been using the app, there should be. I would be happy to help you figure out what's wrong.

5. No x64 and Windows 7 support. The Slife client should work but we haven't tested it on these platforms yet.

Finally, I would like to say that if you feel that Slife is not working for you for one reason or another, I would be glad to refund your credit card. We have a "no-unhappy-customer" policy :-)

The week starts on Sunday. The idea of being able to specify a range is very good. Thanks!

A comment on the question "How about a sticky Date-picker?" in Slife Labs:

What do you mean 'on save' when assigning activities? – ethomaz, on August 24, 2009 14:12

ethomaz replied on August 24, 2009 14:11 to the idea "Slife & iPhone?" in Slife Labs:

I think this is the direction we are going to take for now. We have some cool plans for Slife on iPhone. And it will be better and better the more Apple allows us to interface with their APIs

ethomaz replied on August 21, 2009 14:53 to the question "window /tab aware and timeout?" in Slife Labs:

That should be fine. Pretty cool.
