Backpack Have Opened up Their API
Backpack has the potential to be a very useful web-based PIM - even more so now that they’ve opened up their API.
I’m particularly excited by the ability to create reminders.
I’ve been trying to implement a “tickle folder” system with my email, moving messages from the inbox if they do not need any action to be taken before a certain date to a series of datestamped folders so that I can forget about them until they are due. I check the folder for the day each morning with fetchmail to warn me if I’ve filed something for review. (This wouldn’t work nearly so well without IMAP.)
Backpack gets another bump up on my “to play with when I have time” list.
