Joe’s Goals 2.1 - Bug Fixes

A new version of Joe’s Goals is now live with a number of minor bug fixes and improvements. Thanks to everyone who keep writing in suggestions and bug reports. I’ve got some exciting things coming down the pipe for the next few months so stay tuned.
What got fixed:

The badge new refreshes after you make a […]

New Server

Joe’s Goals has been down a lot lately. The problem isn’t entirely clear and I’ve done what I can to try and fix it on the software side. The issue appears to be with the server itself. I know this has been terribly irritating for you Joe’s Goals users and I apologize. I’m working with […]

More Bugs Stomped

Good evening everyone. Well I’ve stomped a few more bugs and added back a few of the features missing from the new version (the badge). Things are going very well with 2.0 and most users are now on the new version. I still need to add the reports and make a few other tweaks […]

Update on 2.0

Bugs be gone!
The 2.0 update is going very well. Fixed a issue keeping it from running at all in Safari, fixed several problems with the logbook, and greatly increased the speed for larger accounts.
I think it is about time to start rolling it out to more testers. You’ll get an email when you are […]

Joe’s Goals 2.0

It has been a long time in coming but Joe’s Goals 2.0 is finally rolling out of development and into a closed beta test. Everybody say woot!
What’s new?
This is a complete rebuild of the core application with an emphasis on speed, ease of use, and scalability. Here are the major changes currently in the […]

Ok, ok - I changed the way chains work for bad habits

Since rolling out chains I’ve received at least one email a day telling me that I should change the way they work for negative goals. To quote one example:
Please change the way the chain tracks for negative goals. If I have a negative goal called eat out I want to see the number of days […]

Updated Quotes and Button in Get Inspired Section

Just a couple of quick Joe’s Goals updates. If you are logged in there is now a button in the Get Inspired section that lets you add a goal to your tracker right from there. Since there are hundreds of goals that you can check out in Get Inspired this should hopefully makes things easier […]

Joe’s Goals Update: Seinfeld Style Goal Chains

Inspired somewhat by GearFire’s suggestion that Joe’s Goals is a good way to track “task chains” and by Lifehacker’s original article on Jerry Seinfeld’s productivity techniques, I bit the bullet today and was able to hack together a long requested feature.
To make this work I wanted to keep with the spirit of Joe’s Goals and […]

New Report: Logbook Summary

Just got done adding a quick little report to Joe’s Goals that lets you access your logbooks.
To access the report click reports at the top of your goal chart, select Logbook Summary, enter a time frame, and click Run Report. The report displays your notes by day and then by goal. Should work for most […]

The people have spoken - report links are back!

So sometimes you don’t find out how much something is used until you move it. I just completed a quick update rolling back a few of the changes I made last week. The 30, 60, 90 report links are now back and the logbook now features a save link instead of a close button for […]
