For Design Journal #1, I opted to review Remember the Milk, a web-based task management tool designed to help people get more organized. It offers a few key advantages over traditional computerized to-do lists, all of which revolve around the idea of being able to access your tasks from any digital device or application.
Having formerly been a compulsive Outlook user (and admittedly, somewhat of a nerd), I made the transition to Remember the Milk this fall with nervous hesitation. After all, the fate of my school projects, errands and general musings depended on it. To my surprise, the change came with relative ease; Remember the Milk is a simple but extremely well-designed and intuitive application. It works almost perfectly for me and I am uber-stoked to be moving away from software made by 'the soft' (Note: The software is still in beta so the almost is to be expected).
Over the next ten or so posts, I'll be reviewing what it is, specifically, that makes Remember the Milk such a great design. I'll also take a stab at addressing some of its shortcomings; features of the design that I suspect (read: hope) that the company will revise in future iterations of the software. Stay tuned.
