Licorize' Blog

In this major update includes improvements in almost every aspect of Licorize and some brand new functionality. All details follow.

Presentations from bookmarks

For this spectacular new feature, see this post: Turning bookmarks into presentations with Licorize 2.0.

Levels of importance

A simple but very useful feature is that strips can be assigned levels of importance, both in edit and in view – just click on the importance ! symbol. This orders strips in the priority view.

New Weekly Review

The weekly review has been streamlined and the two approaches clearly separated.

For those using GTD, the weekly review is a “pre-work” process with which you review all “in” items; some people misunderstand this for the process of reviewing your open to-do’s, which is a different matter. So we gave two separate entry points to the two approaches.

Bookmarking locations & maps

You can now bookmark locations and maps, both by adding bookmarks of type “place” by hand – and you can write location names and a map will auto scroll there, and also while bookmarking on a map service: Google Maps, Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps are currently supported.

Remind me later & Flipboard integration

This is just a simple trick, but very, very comfortable: there is an option on your profile to set all your remind-me-later available as a “public” URL – a bit hard to guess. This way you can go and read your any RSS reader

E.g. to have them in Flipboard, you add the RSS to your Google Reader and then subscribe the folder from Flipboard.

Note: this requires a “pro” account.

Request from users

- Show tags from other users on projects

- Search shows also future and done items

Little improvements

- You can customize the types used, simplifying the interface (from your settings)

- there is a new “draft” type

- Added a time bar for fast navigation in work week.

- There is a global search from Licorize site in all public strips.

Plus many, many little bug fixes. The mobile version has been updated with location handling and all new features.

Last but not least:

Licorize for intranets

For enterprises that would like to have Licorize as a service running in their intranet, now can have it.

Licorize web service is available as standalone application that your company can install in its intranet.

In this way your bookmarking data is kept “behind you Firewall”, and it can be made compatible with companies’ policies and integrated with other internal data sources, as all Licorize’s data will be saved in readable format in an internal MySQL database.

Being built entirely in Java, Licorize is compatible with most company’s IT systems. The intranet version is licensed for an unlimited number of users, and full sources are included: all details here:
