Thanks for asking about this, Devon!
When Devon asked this in the chat thing on Beeminder, I answered like so:
Great question! If you’re willing to ask on the forum i can start brainstorming there…
lemme dogfood that: http://dreev.commits.to/chime_in_with_options_for_one_off_commitment_devices (on the forum, after you post the question)
So here’s me starting my brainstorming list!
- The MustDo System as you alluded to
- GTBee as @cgamer1 just mentioned
- Commits.to as I dogfoodily demonstrated (private beta though)
- The /charge command built in to the Beeminder Slack bot
- Fancy things with IFTTT applets?
- Nebuminding where in the nebu-doc you type “Next step: do XYZ task (no typing more until that’s done!)” and now, boom, Beeminder is making you do the obvious next thing – kinda like the MustDo system but you precommit to it all being for a particular project
- Beemind your to-do list, especially with our Todoist integration
- A nonce Beeminder goal, using @zedmango’s procedure
- Boss as a Service
UPDATE: I’m editing this as new ideas pop up so we have a single coherent list of these. Again, great question!
