Hi,

Nirvana definitely looks nice, but there are several things which could have some improvements:

• Need the ability to create sub-projects: the ability to break down large projects into smaller contained projects is essential
• The ability to sync with Evernote: it would be nice to be able to use evernote as your reference material repository that could be directly linked to the project at hand
• The ability to setup perspectives: with the single click of a button or hot key I should be able to see all items in a single context
• being able to sort by multiple contexts
• Drag and drop projects should not treat that project as a task (might be a glitch)
• the ability to change preferences to remove notifications like creating a project, archiving and deleting
• more powerful email to inbox features such as creating projects with tasks/contexts

   Some nice features that I second there!
   I would love the sub projects feature, and definitely the evernote reference feature - however it would be nice to have it for springpad as well. (Kinda like http://lifehacker.com/5499881/nozbe-to+do-app-integrates-evernote-f...) On that matter, has anyone tried springpad or is evernote superior?

   Hi Tyler... thanks for all your points and suggestions... let me comment on some of them:

   -Need the ability to create sub-projects: the ability to break down large projects into smaller contained projects is essential

   a couple of users have voted for this. We do, in the meantime, have inline checklists which you can add to task notes. this might be an alternative that you can use at the moment. Not exactly the same, but could be useful. Check it out:

   -The ability to sync with Evernote: it would be nice to be able to use evernote as your reference material repository that could be directly linked to the project at hand

   There seems to be a huge Nirvana user-base that uses Evernote... I personally do as well.

   We use Backpackit internally for our project ref notes - because it's web-based as well we can include this link into a Nirvana Project note. This most likely will become a 3rd party plugin/integration for the Nirvana Dev community once we release the API (date TBD).

   -The ability to setup perspectives: with the single click of a button or hot key I should be able to see all items in a single context

   You can, in NEXT for example, click on a tag and filter down to all tasks that have that tag. As well, you can click on 2 or more tags and filter down even further.

   -Drag and drop projects should not treat that project as a task (might be a glitch)

   Hmmmm... not sure I understand. Can you elaborate? If it is a glitch I would want to open a bug report.

   -the ability to change preferences to remove notifications like creating a project, archiving and deleting

   Yes, we have had this comment before... it's a good preference option, agreed.

   -more powerful email to inbox features such as creating projects with tasks/contexts

   Definitely part of the plan for email -> inbox. Being able to have file attachments as well.

   thanks so much for your feedback! Hope some of these tips help.
