Remember the Milk Smart Add edition launched

Remember the MilkのSmart Add editionっていうのが出たらしい。

First, we have a new "Add Task" field that's always on screen (you can still jump to it with the keyboard shortcut t).

This field is a little bit special: it supports entering all your task's properties in one line, with our new Smart Add feature. Below are details on each of the task properties, and how you can include them when you add a task. Many of the properties have an auto-suggest feature for quick access to your existing tags, lists, locations, etc.

Smart Addって何?

What's Smart Add?

The "Add Task" field in Remember The Milk is a little bit special: it supports entering all your task's properties in one line, with a feature called Smart Add. You can use this feature to quickly add tasks in the web app, and you can also use the Smart Add syntax when adding tasks in Remember The Milk for Gmail, via email, via Twitter, and more.

何ができるかというと、1行で期限や優先度、タグ、場所などが設定できる。
公式サイトの例だと

Clean out the fridge tommorrow !3 *monthly =15min @Home #errand


さらに今回webインタフェースでは対応した記号を入力すると、popupで補完されるらしい。

  • ^を入力するとDue Date(期限)
  • !を入力するとPriority(優先度)
  • #を入力するとList and Tags(リストとタグ)
  • @を入力するとLocation(場所)
  • *を入力するとRepeat(繰り返し)
  • =を入力するとTime Estimate(時間)
  • httpで始まるとURL

で、これができるのは今のところweb,gmail,twitter経由の場合。
APIを使用した場合はalso availableとのこと。

We've started to add support for the new Smart Add syntax in different Remember The Milk interfaces. Aside from the web app, you can also use Smart Add when adding tasks in Remember The Milk for Gmail, and when adding via email and Twitter. It's also available in the API for third-party developers. Stay tuned for Smart Add support in more interfaces!

メーリングリストではAPIも対応したって書いてあるな。

And we've updated the API to support it too! :)

The rtm.tasks.add method has always taken a 'parse' parameter which
tried to find a due date in the task name.

The very same parameter now uses Smart Add processing. This allows users
to specify a whole heap of task properties along with their task name.

すでにAPI経由でもできそうな気がする。
