Assign tasks and create projects with even more ease

A few new features have been posted to Taskerrific today! With this update, it’s even easier to start a new project, assign a task, or find out which tasks of yours are overdue.

If you remember, back in late September I asked if you’d like Taskerrific to create a new project whenever you used a !project tag that was unrecognized. Well, today’s update finally added this feature in. Now, all it takes to create a project is creating a task for it!

The next addition is the ability to assign tasks without needing to drop into the advanced options region on the dashboard. Simply start the task summary with a @username (optionally with a !project tag in front) and Taskerrific will assign it to that user! Of course, that person has to be following you as normal, but if he or she is doing so, you’ve just given them something to do.

Following this, I’ve made it easier for you to spot if you have any overdue tasks. Any tasks all in red? They’re overdue, better get to work on them quick! If you’re anything like me, you’ll have a million lines of angry red tasks on your list. ;)

A few other things have been tossed in the pot with this update, too: There’s now a website field on your profile, a more visible link to Gravatar for changing your profile picture, and a bunch of minor style fixes (including a not-so-minor one for Safari and Chrome users). Go and enjoy!
