You can go home again

The Values of n team has been working its collective typing fingers down to the nub since our beta launch: surfacing new features, fixing bugs, designing and re-designing, chatting all but continuously with you, and readying our next version for public consumption.

You've more than likely noticed Stikkit's brand spankin' new home page (if you're logged in to Stikkit, you'll have to log out to see it) featuring some lovely new screencasts on just some of the ways you might use Stikkit in your daily life. You'll find oodles more in our screencasts forum.

What you may not yet have chanced to notice is the new filter-based navigation now baked into every list-style view (i.e. your list of stikkits, calendar, to-do list, etc.). Choose a particular month, day, or range of days; search by keyword; filter by tag; find only done or undone to-dos — or any combination thereof. And of course every combo is bookmarkable so that you can come back to "this week's undone to-dos," for instance.

And be sure to check out these additional new features and fixes:
  • Persistent sign-in
  • An initial (as yet unofficial and all-but-undocumented) take on a Stikkit API (we're very interested to know what you think, want, or may already have hacked together)
  • Stikkits stuck by email respond with a copy of the emailed stikkit
Also, many thanks for all your suggestions on how we could better handle signing up new folks and getting them going. All new sign-ups will find their Stikkit lists pre-populated with sample stikkits pointing out some of the most useful features and common ways of using Stikkit. We'll also be pushing our updated sign-up process to the servers this coming week: sign-up will be instant with no waiting or confirming before diving right in.

There's so much in the hopper we can't wait to share. Please do keep passing your thoughts and suggestions our way.
