This is the first of many blog posts Listy users will come across. We will be using this 'Listy Blog' to communicate enhancements and new functionality to our users. Although we have a healthy number of users who provide feedback and suggestions to make Listy a gadget of choice, we wanted to reach out to ALL our users through this blog so they can give us their input and stay informed on Listy updates. Our aim is to be the very best gadget and to make this an organized world!
So lets get started. What has been keeping us busy lately? A laundry list of things! As our earlier users will recall, some of the initial feedback we received was that it was 'too easy to delete a tab'. We updated Listy, so now Listy asks for deletion confirmation when a user tries to delete a tab.
Our popularity is growing, thanks to our satisfied users! We take pride in being responsive and doing our best to entertain as many user requests as possible. Yet, at the sametime we need to be cognizant of the fact that one user's preference or request may not necessarily represent our complete user community. Our user base has grown from purely in the U.S to Canada, countries in the European Union, and Asia. We are trying our best to add more cell phone carriers for SMS functionality in different geographical regions. Some of the latest cell phone companies we have added are Canadian cell phone giants such as Fido, Rogers, Telus, Virgin etc. We are having some SMS issues with european cell phone providers, and we are testing them individually. In fact, we are looking for volunteers from the UK and other European Union countries to help us test the SMS functionality! Please write to us at support@mylisty.net if you are available to help us.
Some other major updates include the revamping of 'screen real estate'. We removed padding, numbering of tabs, and tweaked font sizes to provide more space to our users to enter their tasks. Also, we have changed the priority dots into priority blocks for ease in clickability. Here is the before and after comparison!

Other enhancements you can expect in the month of July include the following:
1) Drag & Drop Functionality: We have implemented the drag & drop functionality in Listy. This functionality enables users to drag tasks from one list/tab and drop them into another list/tab. It will also let them re-order the sequence of tasks within a list by simply dragging the task up or down with in a tab. Also, you will be able to change the sorting of tabs with this enhancement.
Drag:
Drop:
2) Color Scheme of Priority Levels: Yes, we agree with you that our choice of colors for priority levels wasn't exactly a work of art! We have upgraded the Settings section of Listy where our users decide on the colors they wish to select for each priority level, which simply (read drastically) improves the colors of each priority level.
3) Project X: We are working hard to make Listy platform independant. This is a secret project (if the earlier statement has not given it away already!), and we believe our users will be pleasantly surprised when we go-live with Project X. Please stay tuned for more on this.
In the end, we would like to thank our users, every single enhancement you see above was the result of a suggestion from a caring user, without them we would be clueless. We always need more suggestions and more feedback!
Stay Organized!
