Goplan API is now out

cpuwidget Good news for people who love development-related news. We just rolled out to the live servers the new version of the Goplan API. This means that developers out there now have the necessary tools and resources to build cool stuff on top of our data and functionality. The API documentation is available at goplanapp.com/api.

We’re also launching a contest for developers who want to build apps with the API. It runs until September 30 and gives you the chance of winning a full year of our Unlimited plan. There’s a bunch of details about the contest on the contest page, so check it out here if you’re interested. We can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.

Oh, and here’s something for your OSX Dashboard

As a simple example of the kind of stuff developers will be able to build with our API, we built (and are now releasing as open source) a timetracking dashboard widget for your mac. It lets you use our timetracking functionality remotely, so definitely give it a go if you’re interested. If you’re a developer, feel free to look under the hood for inspiration on how you can use the Goplan API. You can download and install this widget by clicking here. Have fun! And do submit bug reports if you find any.

Great news, I will check it right away.

Wow! Good news!

Now we need the iPhone app!! :P

Ah, you can do better than just one year free for the winner!

Thanks! And thanky ou also for the small improvements like calendar view when picking due dates :-)

Most excellent! Thanks for opening up the new API, now I can lose sleep again :)

Is anyone thinking of writing a simple piece of code that can backup all projects and all the contents within them, along with a way of restoring them with a different project name, say “[oldprojectname]_backup”? As I wouldn’t want to waste my time trying to cobble something together with my entry level JavaScript if someone else more able is doing the same thing!

I was thinking about a backup app pre-2.0 but I haven’t made a real move on it yet. I was mostly afraid of losing the info that I stored in notes if another team member edits them incorrectly.

I’m definitely interested in the ability to move data in and out of GoPlan in the form of backups and/or import and exports though, so if anyone wants to bring some ideas to the table (or more importantly some design or programming experience) I’m all ears!

Email me at [email protected]

Has anyone ever had a response from support? I’ve sent 2 or 3 emails asking for quick tips but haven’t had anything back! I’m concerned about it and hence found this post about the backup facility. Anyone made any headway yet? Would love to get a backup of the stuff on our account!

Hello Charles, you’re absolutely right. We overlooked your email and we’re sorry about that. I’ve just replied to your email.

So who are the winners of this contest ?

Hey ?! :)

Wake up !

Uhmmm ?

Is there a gallery of 3rd party apps?

Hi there,

I’d like to modify this Dashboard widget to suit our company needs and wondering that you still have the original Dashcode project file? I’m aware that I can import the existing widget and continue working on it, but Dashcode throws tantrums when I add new stuffs in, e.g. buttons, textfields

So please if you still have it, it’d be great that you can host it somewhere like Github so I can fork it.

Cheers
Ken

PS. Your GoPlan app rocks, it totally changes the way we manage our projects, props to you guys !

Never mind,

I have recreated the dashcode project. You can fork it from here
