The state of the Noopsi
Noopsi is still very much alive. In fact, since October I’ve probably updated Noopsi 3-4 times with bug fixes and some minor enhancements (namely, better date parsing), I just never told you about them since they were under the hood enhancements more than anything.
Having said that, I’m actually too busy with Plancast to work on Noopsi full time anymore, but I still use Noopsi every...

The Big September Update We Forgot to Tell You...
Wow, October has really sailed by, at least we didn’t miss Halloween. Noopsi received a ton of bug fixes at the beginning of October and even got a couple new features that you might, or might not, have noticed.
The biggest new feature is pdfs and ppts can now be viewed inline (much like Youtube videos and pictures). If you paste a link to a powerpoint or pdf file Noopsi will go ahead and...

The Big August Update and the Little Updates that...
The month of August brought Noopsi tons of new features which were pushed out on August 28th (yes, I know this post is a little late). Let’s take a look at the bigger changes you might have noticed:

We Have Been Too Quiet
The problem with being a developer is I like slinging code more than I like writing blog posts (evidently). This has got to change because when I am interested in trying out a new Internet application I often check the blog as a first sign of the App being abandoned. if I see there hasn’t been any posts for a while I often think the App might not have much time left on this earth and wonder...

Evolution of a Syntax: Tags
What do these things have in common?
tag with tagname1, tagname2
.tagname1
#tagname1
If you answered: they have all been used to tag Noopsi at some point in its life then you would be correct.
I am not sure if anyone will really find this post (or future posts like this) helpful. But I want to catalog a little about how the syntax of Noopsi developed.
Noopsi started out with more of a...

In The Last Week, Noopsi Got a Whole Lot More...
I must admit, when I was first planning Noopsi I didn’t have much interest in the social part. Sure, I thought it would be cool that you could easily share an item or a list with someone just by @-ing their username. But I was more interested in the solitary experience. After all, I was building Noopsi to scratch my itch, and was just hoping other people would find it useful too.
And even...

Introducing Print View
I don’t know if I am going to make these a common occurence or not, but I am just so excited that Noopsi now has a print view.
Before, when you wanted to print you got the whole webpage, but now, you get just your content in a nice clean format the way it is meant to be viewed on paper.
Why was print view not implemented before? Simple, I had never needed to print anything before, but...

Introducing the public activity stream
The latest Noopsi micro-update included a public activity stream where you can see the latest “touched” public items and entries from all the users.
I hesitated doing this because most of the activity in Noopsi takes place privately. For example, I probably make at least 10 private lists for every one public list which makes Noopsi seem much less active than it is.
However, I finally...
