For anyone who's interested, Prism can be found here: http://prism.mozillalabs.com/

It's how I use Producteev on my PC and it's a great tide-over until a dedicated app comes out.

Thanks a lot for posting the link!

My pleasure! I'm loving Producteev and can't wait to see what new features you guys roll out next. I work for a large university and am in charge of publicly presenting a very complex, extensive academic restructuring and using Producteev to keep track of everything has been a life saver!

Very glad to hear.
Awesome use case also!
And do let us know how it goes :)

Another simple tool that I use is the Chrome browser from Google. If you already use this browser, the window's version allows you to create "application shortcuts". These work the same way as Fluid on Mac Safari and Prism on Windows and Mac Firefox.

Downside:
Application Shortcuts don't work for Mac yet (I haven't checked into the Linux version.)

Google Chrome isn't quite the browser that Safari and Firefox are. (Yet...)

If you would like to try out Chrome and its Application Shortcuts (Windows only), you can get them here:

I use Chrome and never noticed that feature, so thanks for pointing that out!

Whenever I try to login from the producteev "app" window created by fluid it takes me to the producteev site on safari and says wrong email or password. Any ideas?

almost 2 years ago Ilan Abehassera responded:

Can you email us at contact@producteev.com with the email you're signed up with?

almost 2 years ago iKnox responded:

Ilan I sent you the email address (also attached to this comment). Let me know.

I have the same issue as iKnox

Speaking of using the application in a browser specific window, can you guys move the feedback button to a different location? With it on the side like that, I can't quite fit the browser window around the site to make it look clean without the feedback button getting in the way of my labels.

almost 2 years ago Ilan Abehassera responded:

The problem is that there's not a lot of places where we can put it :(

Trying to get going with Producteev and GTD. Followed the steps to use with Fluid for a Desktop app. I have everything setup but when I go to login to Producteev through Fluid, it jumps me to the browser to complete login. Thus, not able to use Producteev in Fluid yet. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

over 1 year ago Ilan Abehassera responded:

can you try that Jason? http://www.screencast.com/users/brainyone/folders/Jing/media/e2072c79-628d-4699-9907-901c1316eb1a

IIan, thanks! It worked. And thanks for the super quick response. I am even more pumped up, now.

Also, I am using "Tasky" as my icon from your August 9 post for the Fluid App icon. Fun!

Thanks again and can't wait for the Mac Desktop App you are developing! Using this for GTD, so Global Tasks as some have mentioned or another solution you have would be great. Would love an Android app, too. I am fan!

Awesome Jason, we're working on everything you mentioned, at the same time :)

What's up at Producteev?
