It's an app that I very much enjoy using. Thanks so much for creating it. In your question about the undelete function, it's probably best explained by going to your Backpack account and looking at a list. When you check the box for marking the task as complete, it moves the task below the other task and puts a trash can icon by it. The task will remain there until it's "thrown away" by clicking the trash can. In Backboard, once you mark a task as complete, it's removed from the app completely. Usually that's a good thing, but if you accidently mark a task as complete, the only way to get it back (or undelete it) is to go to the Backpack website and uncheck it. It would be cool if this could be done within the app itself. Definitely not a big deal that Backboard doesn't have this. It's probably something few people would use, but I try to mention a few possible improvements in my reviews. Thanks again for releasing Backboard! Ever thought of creating an iPhone version of Backboard? I bet it would make for a good seller! Hi Lars,

I will keep the one with the clickable URL's in my mind. But tasks and notes are clickable (doubleclick) inside the table (just avoid clicking on a column with an entry field). And yes. If you delete a task or note inside Backboard it will be deleted directly inside Backpack. What do you mean by undelete it inside Backpack? Never done that. Is that possible? Writeboards would be nice to integrate. The best way (IMHO) would be to connect it directly with your favorite text editor (e.g. Textmate). But no one asked for that so far ;) Regards, Lars Hi Kevin,
