Critical user TRUST building feature

Hi guys,
once again thanks for your great product.

There is a feature, one SINGLE feature, that I am dying waiting for. I think it is critical to implement it ASAP to guarantee total user trust.

See, we put lots of critical data in doit, both personal and professional. And if would be extremely annoying that the service disappears from one day to another : we all know this could happen for dozens of reasons. Sad, but true.

In order to lose only a bit of time, but very little data, and thus to get the full trust of the user community, it would really be fantastic to be able to make a simple html hierarchical export of our data. Something like this:

username
-> goal 1 : goal description...
--> task_without_project_1 : attributes, description
[...]
--> task_without_project_n : attributes, description
--> project 1 : attributes, description
---> task 1 of project 1: attributes, description
---> task 2 of project 1: attributes, description
[...]
-> goal 2 : goal description...
[...]
-> no goal
[...]

Really, really, something as ugly as that, but with all the data. That's really easy to implement :)) So that:
1- we don't feel that we are datalocked
2- we are sure that if we save our data weekly, we won't be losing much information

pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiz implement this feature ASAP. If you do, well I... don't know, promise to eat vegetable every day for a whole month ;-)

Cheers
Eric

Hello,

In the short-term, we have no plan to implement "export data". :(

Your data is quite safe in our server. It is encrypted and no one except you can have access to it without you permission. And data in Doit.im is backuped in US and Japan.

Tasks of each week can be viewed in Weekly Review and you can download them to into the local device.

Shall you need any other help or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thanks for your support on Doit.im.

too bad, thanks for the answer anyway :-(

i'll try to implement a workaround script that exports the data semi-automatically, i really need to be 100% sure that I'll always have my data.

thanks again for all the great work !

Oh, BTW, could you then add an option to the advance search form to also include tasks of inactive projects, and inactive tasks ? Then it would be possible to display absolutely all the tasks in a single page with this advanced search, print, and ta-da, have a very basic backup [that would be even more complete when the goal will be displayed next to the task, like the context and the project currently are]

what about that ?

Q1: Could you then add an option to the advance search form to also include tasks of inactive projects, and inactive tasks ?
A: We will seriously consider it.

Q2: Then it would be possible to display absolutely all the tasks in a single page with this advanced search, print, and ta-da, have a very basic backup
A: The ability of printing the page of search results will be supported in the future. BTW, what do you mean by "ta-da"?

Q3: [that would be even more complete when the goal will be displayed next to the task, like the context and the project currently are]
A: Display the goal on task list?

Thank you for your feedback.

A1: thx

A2: "ta-da" means "and here it comes", like something magical. I say magical because it is a workaround to export the tasks, a work around to have a backup

A3: display the goals whereever it is possible. Now you display the context and the project whereever it makes sense. It would also make sense to display the goal next to the task, as you do with the project and the context.

best,
eric
