How-to: Set a deadline date
POSTED AT 14:18 on 9th May 2007
To keep the tweeto interface simple and uncluttered we actively decided to keep the input fields to an absolute minimum and not just add more fields for the sake of something only 5% of our users might use. One of these features that few people use is a deadline or due date, but despite this we still get emails asking us to add the field. To all these people we offer the following solution:
When adding a task set the deadline date as a tag. This will then allow you to quickly sort your tasks by due date and you can use your own wording/formatting.
With Deadline Date

Deadline Date Tags

Because tags can contain anything that you like you can easily make up your own system for managing your deadline to suit your needs and is far more customizable than a specific field for a due date.
