Tell me more @esdapp, what exactly would you like to see with the Asana integration? We had to build the to-do list from scratch because nobody 'wraps' email threads in to-dos or has the necessary context required to keep signal/noise ratio high enough on the to-do list (location, time, projects, etc.)
Going to have to try. I've been wanting something that combines my tasks, email and calendar, but have yet to find a good one. In Gmail I use Active-Inbox and Streak. On my phone I use acompli. For a lot of my tasks, I'm using Trello. So many services, but why can't I get it all in one place?
In ActiveInbox I can organize some emails as tasks in a GTD format, but overall that's just still labeling with some built in filters. I convert emails to events which show up on my calendar, but they are then in a different tab, not in my email tab. Hate google tasks, so sometimes I make an email and add it to ActiveInbox as a task, other times it goes into Trello.
@golocalapps you are right on. Use projects in handle for GTD and have a next action that shows in timeline to make the project approachable, our locations (Home, Work, Whole Foods) use iPhone geofence to get your attention plus there are reminders in time like mailbox snoozing.
Thanks for checking Handle out Anton. Are you able to run your day out of Google inbox? Handle wants to be your trusted system with a full inventory of all your to-dos, David Allen would say that's 100-200 for busy people. In my usage, having cross-platform mobile + desktop is essential as well.

@shawnvc I do manage all my to-do tasks in Inbox and it works fine for me (on Android, web and iOS). Although the biggest number of tasks I have to take care each day is rarely more than 10-15. I can't even imagine having to perform actions on 200 tasks in a single day! :)
@abredykhin ah, it's not how many you have to do in a day, but rather your entire inventory, home, trips you want to take, books to read, movies to watch, the whole inventory. When your mental RAM is occupied with remembering details there's more space for being creative and staying in the flow. Everything actionable you want to remember goes into the same trusted place.
Also, Exchange is ~80% of business email market and Handle will be email server independent eventually. Lots of other fun stuff in the roadmap but we're not revealing it all just yet... ;) Thanks again!

@abredykhin I do like the "pin it" feature in inbox, but their task management is not full featured enough. There are no projects, no GTD and it doesn't seem like something that is easily added. Handle is elegant
@abredykhin renaming an email thread with the actual task you need to do, and grouping to-dos (email related or not) by project are other dimensions. I just answered this Quora post that has more. We're working on explaining what a 'productivity system' is vs. an email client, to-do list, or calendar alone so open to ideas! http://www.quora.com/What-are-th...
I WOULD love to try this but we already use Asana / Gmail / GCal. I know I can sync nr 2 and 3 - how about that first one? Integrating with Asana could be killer! Thoughts @Shawnvc?
i've been playing around with this the last couple of days.
the app is really slow, makes it kind of unusable for me. but i'm pleasantly surprised by how handy the chrome extension is (basically just a simple todo list that sits next to your gmail and can create todos-from-emails).
looking forward to the app getting faster/more stable. google inbox wins on that front (but, at the moment, loses by not supporting google app for your domain).
Thanks for taking the time @aristeinberg or sorry for the slowness. Would love to hear more specifics shawn@handle.com. We have been A/B testing the cards view (renders HTML previews in the inbox) vs. scan view (like other email clients) and the card view feels a lot slower unless the network is snappy. I'm curious if that is the issue or something else. Definitely working hard to make everything as fast as possible!

I would love to use Handle for work. Any plans for Exchange?
