Fluid is a great app which lets you use 43actions.com as a standalone desktop application—without needing Safari open all the time. (Recommended by user Andrew Miner. Mac OS X only.)

43actions.com is (no longer) down

Update 2: Thanks to one of our guys we managed to track down the OpenID login problem as well. Expect a new version of 43actions.com to be deployed in the next few days, together with some other neat features.

Update: We managed to isolate the problem ourselves and got 43actions.com back up. The server technicians are still trying to get the server up and running at full capacity, since resolving this issue unfortunately meant we had to temporarily disable OpenID login, which was the source of the problem. We hope to have it back very soon.

Our service provider hostingrails.com is having some serious server issues, which has put 43actions.com out of service for some hours.

We are deeply sorry on their behalf that the stability has been compromised. Rest assured that they are hard at work restoring full functionality.

Most sincerely,
The 43 Actions Team

43 Actions and WWDC
What a week. What a keynote! There’s tremendous excitement here on the floor of the Moscone Convention Center West in San Francisco. This is, no doubt, the epicenter of the mobile world this week.
And if all the emails about a native version of our little product are any indication, the interest for 43 Actions hasn’t waned, but indeed increased steadily over time. (We’re currently just shy of 25000 users.) We sincerely hope to be able to release the native app at the iPhone App Store in a not too distant future.
Notable features will be (optional) syncing with your 43actions.com account, regular backups of all data on the client (in case something got inadvertently deleted or changed), a very fast way to add a new action immediately on launch (called QuickAdd), some cool location features, a fluid and intuitive interface, and lots of other stuff. (Disclaimer: Feature list is subject to change.)
We’re trying hard to make this a great version 1.0. But it won’t be everything to everyone. We think a solid foundation is more important than immediately adding tons of features. Stay tuned!

43 Actions New Feature Tuesday: Project and Context Summaries.
Per request, you can now email not only Agenda Summaries, but also Context and Project Summaries. This lets you get a nice, quick overview of all the actions which comprise a specific project or context. (This is a donor exclusive [in EUR] feature.)
Bonus features: We have made the Badges look a bit more contrasty, making them easier on the eyes while still staying unobtrusive. In addition, the Context Badge won’t show when you’re browsing a Context, and vice versa.

Spring Cleaning

In an effort to increase database performance and minimize storage requirements, we will, starting next Tuesday, remove accounts which are no longer used. We find unused accounts by looking at which accounts have not been confirmed yet. (You confirm your account by clicking the confirmation link in the email you got when you registered your 43 Actions account.)

So, for extra safety, we recommend everyone to look at their Settings, and see whether you find a link called “resend confirmation email” towards the bottom. If you don’t see this link, it means you have already activated your account, and your data is safe.

Important: it bears repeating; if your account is not confirmed, we will delete it completely by next tuesday.
