Feeds/Synchronizing

You can receive an atom feed of your tasks by clicking the feed icon . Right now, Hiveminder only supports one-way syncing with your iCalendar applications like Apple's iCal or Google Calendar , but we've got a couple aces up our sleeve and should be able to support round-trip iCalendar syncing in the near future. We do provide full round-trip to text files for all you lifehackers - just click on the page icon . If you're a little more old-school and would rather have a paper list to work from during the day, click the printer icon . Your printed list will include a URL so you can get back to that same list later on and check stuff off for good.

Your iCalendar and Atom feeds work something like a saved list. If you search for a list by a tag, then all future tasks with that tag will be sent to the feed you generate from that list. It is important to keep the feed URLs private though, because otherwise people can see your tasks. If you run into that situation however, we have given you an out. You can go to the Preferences page via the top navigation bar and then onto the "Feed URLs" tab. By pushing that button you can destroy all of your feeds. You'll have to re-create your feeds, but all of your compromised feeds will go away.

If you're unfamiliar with textfile maintenance and want to give it a try, here's how:

1. Click the icon. This will allow you to download whatever list you are currently viewing. Make sure to save it someplace you can easily find it, like the desktop.
2. Edit your tasks. You can add tasks, delete tasks, modify them etc. Make sure you don't mess up the code at the bottom though, or you will not be able to upload textfile again. If that happens, download the textfile again and make you changes again.
3. To upload, point your web browser at http://hiveminder.com/upload. Hiveminder will open an Upload window. Browse to your edited file, and select it.
4. Click 'Update It!'
