Next time, on The Dossier…
Well, it’s been a few days since the iPad launch, and we’ve been playing with The Dossier extensively now that we have an actual iPad to run it on. We’ve found a number of things we’re hoping to improve, and will be pushing out an update later this week.
Boring updates are boring, so let me tell you a little bit about our exciting updates! The biggest addition will be the new Gifts block, joining the Note, Twitter and Clothing Size blocks.
The Swede[1] is gift-giving-crazy. By the end of August we have most of our Christmas shopping done. Seriously, it’s a sickness. She keeps a book with everyone’s name in it, and notes on what gifts she’s given them in the past, as well as what gifts we’ve already purchased for them. This does away with the problem of buying a Christmas gift for someone in July and forgetting about it by December. So clever! Obsessive, but clever! :-)
So, the Gifts block will let you enter the gifts you’ve given, when and why, as well as gifts you’ve set aside for the future. You can add a photo, make a note, and show only the last item given if you’d like.
Overall, our vision is to provide templates for the information you need to know. Sure, you can use notes for everything, but that’s neither convenient nor fun, two things we really want The Dossier to be.
