Thanks for making Ticker. I've used TymeLynz and Countdown, and Ticker is definitely the most attractive app. Elegant interface and easy to use. Here's my request list. Some of it echos what others have said. I'm just adding my vote.
1) Time since: Ability to have time since events that count up instead of down. Like you can in TymeLynz and Countdown.
2) Custom time display: Ability to specify custom time display formats. What I want is functionality similar to TymeLynz, which allows you to turn selectively on/off years, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds on a per item basis.
3) More icons: I too want more icons to choose from.
4) Color labels: Ability to assign a background color to items. Similar to Finder labels and iCal calendar colors, so you can give favorite events a different color.
5) Contacts import: Ability to selectively import dates from your Contacts database, and automatically create Ticker items based on those dates.
6) Recurring events: Ability to setup repeating entries for annual, monthly, weekly, etc. events.
7) Photo icons: Ability to pick a photo from your photo library and assign it to a ticker item. Something similar to the add photo feature in MidCentury Software's app Shopper.
8) Categories: Ability to assign categories to items. Would be nice if there was a picklist for birthday, anniversary, vacation, holiday, etc. And it would be nice if you could turn on and off sorting your Ticker list by category. Something similar to the sort list by category feature in MidCentury Software's app Shopper.
I have no connection to MidCentury. I just love how Shopper handles categories and photos, and I would like Ticker to have similar functionality. Thanks again for your work.
