Planarium. General mobilization

Hello. We recently significantly updated the Planarium and are so glad that we could not but write a post and not tell about the new functions of the habrasoobshchestvu.

The motto of this update is “general mobilization,” and, as you might guess, Planarium can now be used not only through a computer.

What you see now on the left is 1/3 of all today's innovations, Google gadget. Specifically this one is from gmail. Yes, now you can manage your business directly from your favorite mail, quickly and conveniently. Almost all functions of the “big” Planaria are supported: transfer of cases, creation of notes with formatting, completion of cases, etc. Now you can not get out of the mail at all.

But to use the gadget, you still need a computer, and we promised that you could refuse it. The promise was kept - now Planaria also has a mobile version. Just go to planary.ru from your mobile device and start using it. Everything is simple and in the style of the web of the 90s (in case the browser of your mobile phone is not in trouble with JS). But asceticism! = Small functionality.
With the mobile version, you can do the same with the cases as on the main site, it's just not that convenient =)

And finally, the third third is a new jabber bot. The old bot Planaria was not very functional and our users constantly asked us to redo it. And, at the same time, we ourselves understood that the bot must be completely rewritten.

* Now there will be some technical details that will be of particular interest to the rubists *

The old bot was written using the xmpp4r heme. It was just that at that moment there was no alternative. Anyone who has ever seen examples using this heme knows that there is practically no comfort there. It also turned out that with the load on the bot, he loves to fly.
After listening to the next release of the RailsEnvy Podcast , I heard about blather . I read, caught fire and rewrote the bot in 2 hours. True, he did not work because of errors in the blather itself, but its author turned out to be a very cool guy and quickly corrected everything. Now, if the bot falls, it is only because of my shit code =) So if you want to write a jabber bot for your application, then I advise everyone to take a look at the blather .

And now about the bot itself, here is a list of its commands:

• today <case name>; <name of the second case>; ... <name of the n-th case>
• for tomorrow <case name>; <name of the second case>; ... <name of the n-th case>
• for the week <case name>; <name of the second case>; ... <name of the n-th case>
• for the next week <case name>; <name of the second case>; ... <name of the n-th case>
• into chaos <case name>; <name of the second case>; ... <name of the n-th case>

All the commands above operate on the following algorithm: if you didn’t have a case, then it is created, and if there is such a case, it is transferred to the appropriate area. Also to any case, you can immediately add a note. Just enter it after the case in brackets.

• what to do? - will display your entire to-do list for today.
• what is tomorrow?
• what a week
• what next week?
• what's in the chaos?
• to archive <case number>; <case number> (here the case number coincides with the numbering of cases when using the “what to do?” command)
• to the site - returns a link where you can immediately get to the site, bypassing the authorization process.

If you do not understand anything, then take a look at the video instruction on the bot:

Although I advise you to look at high resolution .

That's all updates for today.

And if you still do not understand what Planaria is, then you have several ways to close spaces:

• try everything yourself on the site
• read other posts about Planaria in Habré
• view screencast

By the way, to learn about the news of the project, it is not necessary to wait for our post on Habr, you can also look at our blog or become our follower on Twitter .

Thank you all for your attention and continued success in planning!
