20 second tip: Organising your groups

2009-04-28T17:22:00.003+01:00

Once you've created a number of groups on niid.to, you can organise how the tabs are displayed simply by clicking on a tab and dragging left or right.

If you have more than 5 groups, you can scroll left or right with your mouse wheel to view the extra tabs, or use the arrows next to the '+' button to scroll between tabs.

To delete a group, select the relevant tab and hit the 'delete this group' button at the bottom of your list. If there are any niids within the group that you wish to keep, you can transfer them to another group using the dropdown menu, or choose to delete them all by checking the check-box.

New feature: Groups

2009-04-28T16:43:00.009+01:00

Today sees the launch of a new feature on niid.to - groups.

You can now organise your niids into groups - for example you can create a group called 'movies' and fill it with a list of films that you want to see.

To create a new group, hit the 'Your List' tab on the homepage. At the top of the list is the new groups bar.

Hit the '+' button to create a new group. Give it a name in the popup window that appears. Click 'Create Group'.

To add niids to that group, just enter them in the large box at the top of the page as normal.

To transfer existing niids to the new group, click 'Options' on that niid, hit 'Groups', select the group you want to transfer to from the dropdown, then click 'save and close' to finish. Done!

The groups feature of niid.to is something that we have great ideas for, so keep watching the blog and our twitter feed for new updates. twitter.com/niidto

We're pleased to announce an exciting new feature - the ability to add your to-do's direct from your favourite twitter client.

To start using this you need to connect your niid.to and twitter accounts. If you've not already set this up, you firstly need to start following us on twitter - niidto. Next enter your twitter username on your niid.to settings page. We'll then send you a 5 digit code in a twitter direct message that you need to enter below your twitter username on the niid.to settings page. Your direct message may take up to a minute to arrive. Once you've done that, you're now ready to go!

Here's how you add a niid via Twitter:

Send us your niid in a direct message, you can use the shorthand format 'd niidto message' to do this. See the image below as an example:

Welcome to niid.to

2009-03-02T18:54:00.000Z

Well hello, and welcome to niid.to!

We're in a proper private beta stage as of today, and are releasing invites over various channels steadily so we can monitor how everything stands up. We've been testing with a small group of users for a few months now, taking on feedback and making various tweaks.

We're very hopeful that you'll find niid.to a fun, useful and productive tool - and that it will quickly become an application that you use everyday. We're confident that niid.to has a balance of being super-easy-to-use yet has all the features that you'll actually need from a to-do tool.

Rather than explaining all the features right now, you should jump right in and join niid.to - you'll need an invite, so if you don't have one drop us an email - hello [at] niid.to - and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

Keep an eye out on this blog for more features as they are added. You can also follow us on twitter - http://twitter.com/niidto

All the very best,

Tom & James
